Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and clinical results of arthroscopic double row repair with UU stitches for massive, full-thickness, rotator cuff tears. Materials and Methods: Between January 2007 and July 2009, we consulted on 36 massive tears in which it was possible to repair the middle area of the greater tuberosity by arthroscopy. One group consisted of 11 cases that had a double row repair with UU stitches. A second group consisted of 20 cases that had a single row repair with simple stitches. We compared the 2 groups for pain, Activities of Daily Living, UCLA score, and KSS score. We did this pre operatively, and at 6 months, 1 year and final follow-ups. Statistical analysis included Student's t test and a paired t est. Mean age was 59 (48~70); mean follow-up was 28 (12~43) months Results: VAS scores decreased from 7.5 pre operatively to 1.5 post operatively at the last f/u in the $1^{st}$ group (p<0.05). In the $2^{nd}$ group, the score decreased from 7.6 in pre op to 1.8 post operatively at the last f/u (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Mean ADL increased from 11.5 to 25.1 at the last f/u in the $1^{st}$ group (p<0.05); in the $2^{nd}$ group the ADL score increased from 11.3 to 27.5 (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). The UCLA score increased from 13.9 to 31.6 in the $1^{st}$ group (p<0.05), while in the $2^{nd}$ group the score increased from 13.8 to 30.1 (p<0.05); there was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Comparing MRIs at 3 and 6 months post op, there were retears in 3 of 9 cases in the first group, and in 8 of 15 cases in the second group; there was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic double row repair with UU stitches for massive, full-thickness rotator cuff tears showed no differences in clinical results. However, it was associated with a significant difference in the incidence of retears.

목적: 광범위 이상의 회전근 개 전층 파열에 대해서 UU 봉합법을 이용한 관절경 하의 이중 봉합술의 임상 결과와 수술의 유효성을 알아보는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 대상 및 방법: 2007년 1월부터 2009년 7월까지 광범위 회전근 개 전층 파열로 대결절의 중간부위까지 봉합이 가능하여 관절경하 봉합술을 시행한 36예의 환자중에서 1년 이상의 추시가 가능하였던 31예에 대하여 UU 봉합법을 이용하여 이열 봉합술 (Double Row Repair)을 시행하였던 11예를 1군으로, 단순 봉합법으로 일열 봉합술을 시행하였던 20예를 2군으로 하여 비교하였으며, 술전과 6개월, 1년, 최종 추시 때의 VAS of pain, ADL (Activity of Daily Living), UCLA 점수를 측정하였다. 통계적인 검정은 student t-test와 paired t-test로 비교하였다. 평균 연령은 59 (48~70)세였고 평균 추시기간은 28 (12~43)개월이었다. 결과: 동통에 대한 VAS 점수에서 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.5에서 술 후 최종 추시에서 1.5로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.6에서 술 후 최종 추시에서 1.8로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 두 군 간의 임상적으로 의미있는 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 평균 ADL은 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 11.5에서 술 후 최종 추시에서 평균 25.1으로 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 평균 11.3에서 27.5으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). UCLA 점수는 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.9에서 술 후 최종 추시에서는 31.6으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.8에서 술 후 최종 추시에서는 30.1으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). 술 후 3개월에서 6개월 사이에 촬영한 MRI를 이용한 재파열의 비교에서 1군에서 9예 중 3예가, 2군에서 15예 중 8예에서 재파열이 있어서 두 군간에 임상적으로 의미있는 차이가 있었다 (p>0.05). 결론: 광범위 회전근 개 전층 파열에서 UU 봉합법을 이용한 관절경하 이열 봉합술은 일열 봉합술과 비교하여 임상적으로 차이가 없으나 재파열에서 차이가 있었다.
