Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to review the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement and tuberoplasty, and to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of our series for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the elderly. Materials and Methods: We reviewed articles that focused on the treatment options and decision making for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. In particular, we summarized the reported results of arthroscopic debridement and tuberoplasty for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the elderly. Among consecutive patients who had arthroscopic tuberoplasty for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in our series, thirty-two patients available for clinical and radiological evaluation at a mean follow-up of 29 months (range, 13-52 months) were enrolled and reviewed for the analysis. Results: At the last follow-up, the range of active forward flexion increased significantly with excellent pain relief and improvement in the ability to perform the activities of daily living. However, the group with less than 2 mm in preoperative acromiohumeral distance showed inferior postoperative results. Conclusion: Arthroscopic tuberoplasty may be an alternative option in irreparable massive rotator cuff tears for pain relief and improvement of range of motion. However, good results can not be expected if the acromiohumeral distance is less than 2 mm preoperatively and decreases postoperatively, or when the preoperative range of motion is less than $90^{\circ}$ on flexion and abduction.

목적: 광범위 회전근 개 파열에 대한 여러 가지 수술 방법 중 고령의 봉합이 불가능한 파열에 대해 시행하는 단순 변연절제술 및 결절성형술에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 봉합 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열에 대한 여러 수술 방법 및 치료 방법의 선택에 대하여 문헌을 검토하고 정리하였다. 특히 고령의 봉합이 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열에 시행할 수 있는 단순 변연절제술 및 결절성형술에 대해 연구 발표된 논문을 조사하여 요약하고 정리하였다. 또한 본 저자들의 교실에서 회전근 개의 심한 퇴축으로 도저히 봉합이 불가능하였던 32예를 대상으로 시행된 관절경적 결절성형술의 수술 방법을 소개하고 임상적 및 방사선학적 결과를 분석하였으며 그 결과에 미치는 요인들을 조사하였다. 결과: 평균 29개월 (13~52개월) 추시한 결과 통계적으로 의미있는 통증의 감소와 능동적 거상 운동 범위의 증가를 확인할 수 있었으며 기능적 향상을 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 수술 전 견봉-상완 간격이 2 mm 미만으로 좁았던 경우에는 수술 후 불량한 결과를 보였다. 결론: 광범위 파열의 관절경적 치료에 있어, 일단 회전근 개 유리술 후 봉합이 가능한 경우는 최대한 봉합술을 시도해 볼 수 있으며, 봉합이 불가능한 광범위 파열의 경우에는 무리하게 일차 복원술을 시도하기 보다는 수술 전 통증은 있으나 90도 이상 능동적 전방 거상이 가능하고 방사선 사진상 견봉과 상완골 두 사이 간격이 2 mm 미만으로 좁아지지 않은 경우에는 견봉성형술을 포함한 관절경적 결절성형술을 고려해 보아야 할 것이다.
