Abstract

Purpose: This study was performed to assess the usefulness of non-anatomical repair for irreparable large and massive rotator cuff tears by the arthroscopic margin convergence technique. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two patients were followed up more than 1 year after non-anatomical repair for irreparable large and massive rotator cuff tears using the arthroscopic margin convergence technique. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the KSS score, the UCLA score and the Visual analogue scale (VAS). The measurement of the acromio-humeral distance was performed using the shoulder anterior-posterior radiographs. The measurement of fatty degeneration and the healing status was performed using the shoulder MRI after 6 months. Results: Among twenty-two patients, follow up MRI was performed in eleven cases. Three cases were well healed, four cases were partial healed and another four cases were re-torn. The KSS and UCLA scores had significantly improved from a preoperative average of 45.0${\pm}$8.014 and 10.8${\pm}$2.302 points to 77.1${\pm}$10.151 and 30.0${\pm}$1.521 points, respectively, and the pain VAS had decreased from a preoperative average of 7.7${\pm}$0.616 points to 3.0${\pm}$1.021 points at the last follow up. Less favorable results were obtained when the patient had a grade of fatty degeneration higher than grade 3 on the preoperative MRI. Conclusion: Non-anatomical repair for irreparable large and massive rotator cuff tears by the arthroscopic margin convergence technique showed good functional results. It seems to be one of the effective treatment methods for irreparable large and massive rotator cuff tears.

목적: 해부학적 봉합이 불가능한 대파열 및 광범위 회전근 개 파열에서 관절경하 모서리 맞춤 술식을 이용한 봉합술의 결과를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2008년 1월부터 2009년 6월까지 대파열 및 광범위 회전근 개 파열 환자 중에서 관절경하 모서리 맞춤 술식을 이용하여 비해부학적 봉합을 시행한 환자 중 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 22예를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 전 견관절 전후 방사선 사진 상 상완 골두의 상방 전이를 측정하였고, 수술 후 6개월에 MRI 검사와 최종 추시 시에 KSS, UCLA score, Visual analogue scale (VAS)을 이용한 기능평가를 시행하였다. 결과: 22예의 환자 중 11예에서 수술 후 6개월에 시행한 MRI 검사상 양호한 치유 3예, 부분적 치유 4예, 재파열 4예였다. 술 전 및 술 후 최종 추시 시의 KSS는 평균 45.0${\pm}$8.014점에서 77.1${\pm}$10.151점으로, UCLA score는 평균 10.8${\pm}$2.302점에서 30.0 ${\pm}$1.521점으로 전반적으로 향상되었고, VAS는 평균 7.7${\pm}$0.616점에서 3.0${\pm}$1.021점으로 감소하였다. 술 전 MRI 상 fatty degeneration 정도가 Grade 3 이상일 경우 기능적 결과가 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 해부학적 봉합이 힘든 대파열 및 광범위 회전근 개 파열에서 관절경하 모서리 맞춤 술식을 이용한 부분적 봉합은 유의한 통증 감소와 좋은 기능적 결과를 보였다.
