Abstract

Purpose: Not much is known about the obvious relationship between posteroinferior rotator cuff tear and biceps lesion. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of posteroinferior rotator cuff tear on a biceps lesions by comparing the rotator cuff tear and biceps lesions with the number of cuff tears and the degree of degeneration of the rotator cuff. Materials and Methods: 65 patients who underwent surgery for a posteroinferior rotator cuff tear from 2002 to 2009 were included as subjects. The study determined the factors (the number of cuff tears and the degree of degeneration as assessed by MRI) that affected biceps lesions and the kinematic stability of the rotator cuff. Results: Biceps lesion was noted 11 patients among the 51 patients with supraspinatus tendon tears and in 8 patients among the 14 patients with supraspinatus, infraspinatus or teres minor tendon tears, and there was a statistically significant difference between those two groups (p=0.0095). The number of cuff tears was proportional to biceps lesion with statistical significance (p=0.0095). Among the biceps lesions, SLAP II lesion showed a statistically different distribution according to the number of cuff tears (p=0.0073). The degeneration factors (Goutallier's classification and the tangent sign) had no correlations with biceps lesion. Conclusion: Posterosuperior cuff tear may affect biceps lesion. Especially, the number of cuff tears has a close relationship, but the degenerative indicators have no relationship with biceps lesion.

목적: 후하방 회전근개 파열과 상완이두박근 장두건의 관계에 대해서 명백히 알려진 바가 없다. 후하방 회전근개 파열에서 회전근 파열의 개수 및 회전근개의 퇴화 정도에 따른 상완이두박근 장두건의 병변의 차이를 비교하여 후하방 회전근개의 파열이 상완이두박근 장두건에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년부터 2009년까지 수술을 받은 후하방 회전근개 파열인 65명을 연구의 대상으로 설정하였다. 회전근개의 역동적 안정화에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 상완이두박근 장두건에도 영향을 줄 것으로 생각되는 인자로 회전근파열의 개수 및 회전근개의 퇴화 정도로 설정을 하였다. 결과: 회전근개 파열의 개수에 의하여 극상건만 파열이 있는 군에서는 상완이두박근 장두건의 병변이 동반된 경우는 51예 중에서 11예, 극하건, 소원형건까지 포함한 파열군에서는 14예 중 8예 동반되어 두 군간 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p=0.0095). 상완이두박근 장두건파열이 동반된 군에서 회전근개의 파열이 크게 발생하며 이것은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.049). 또한 두 군간의 상완이두박근 장두건의 병변의 분포를 보았을 시 제 2형 전후 관절와 순 병변은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p=0.0073). Tangent sign 및 Goutallier classification을 통한 회전근 개 퇴행성 변화와 상완이두박근 장두건 병변은 통계적으로 유의한 관련을 보이지 않았다. 결론: 후상방 회전근개 파열은 상완이두박근 장두건에 영향을 미칠것으로 사료되며, 특히 이환된 회전근개의 개수가 상완이두박근 장두건의 병변에 높은 영향을 미칠것으로 생각되나 퇴행성의 정도는 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 사료된다.
