Abstract

Purpose: We studied the need for distal clavicle resection by comparing rotator cuff tear patients who underwent non-surgical treatment with and without acromioclavicular joint pathology. Materials and Methods: 45 cases that had been under follow up care for at least 9 months after receiving rotator cuff repair in our hospital between Jan. 2005 and Jun. 2011 had been studied. Acromioclavicular joint pathology group and control group were classified by physical examination and MRI findings. The temporal changes in shoulder joint abduction, internal and external rotation strength, ASES and KSS score of the two groups were measured and analyzed. Results: The acromioclavicular joint pathology complicated rotator cuff injury group's strength measurements for abduction, internal rotation, external rotation were each 8.05 (${\pm}4.54$), 11.33 (${\pm}6.05$), 10.24 (${\pm}5.27$) preoperatively and improved to 13.26 (${\pm}5.50$), 17.51 (${\pm}6.80$), 15.60 (${\pm}5.37$) post operatively while the KSS score and ASES score were each 49.07 (${\pm}15.28$) and 48.65 (${\pm}13.27$) preoperatively, improving to 84.48 (${\pm}10.96$) and 84.65. (${\pm}9.86$). The measurements for the group without complicating acromioclavicular pathology are as follows. The strength for abduction, internal rotation, external rotation was each 6.42 (${\pm}3.11$), 7.59 (${\pm}4.81$) and 7.93 (${\pm}4.49$) preoperatively, improving to 15.85 (${\pm}7.35$), 19.18 (${\pm}9.14$), 16.95 (${\pm}5.70$) post operatively, while the KSS score and ASES score each went from 42.12 (${\pm}6.43$) and 41.37 (${\pm}7.42$) to 83.44 (${\pm}6.30$) and 83.17 (${\pm}7.01$) respectively. The measurements for the two groups, however, did not show a statistically significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Analysis of the rotator cuff injury groups with and without AC joint pathology showed that both groups had improved strength, ASES and KSS scores with no statistical difference difference among the groups. As such, it thought that conservative treatment is an acceptable alternative to distal clavicle resection.

목적: 회전근 개 파열과 동반된 견봉 쇄골 관절 병변에 대해 비수술적 치료를 시행한 후 견봉 쇄골 관절 병변이 동반되지 않은 환자들과 비교함으로써 원위 쇄골 절제술의 필요성에 대해 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년 1월부터 2011년 6월까지 본원에서 회전근 개 봉합술을 시행받고 최소 9개월 이상 추시 관찰이 가능하였던 45예를 대상으로 연구하였다. 이학적 검사상 견봉 쇄골 관절의 압통이 있고 자기공명영상 검사상 병변이 있는 환자를 견봉쇄골 관절 병변이 동반된 군으로 분류하였으며, 그렇지 않은 환자를 병변이 동반되지 않는 군으로 분류 하였다. 두 비교군 환자의 시간적 추이에 따른 견관절 근육의 외전, 내회전 및 외회전 근력 측정 및 ASES, KSS score 를 조사하여 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 견봉쇄골 관절의 병변이 있는 군에서의 근력 측정 결과 술 전 외전 8.05 (${\pm}4.54$), 내회전 11.33 (${\pm}6.06$), 외회전 10.24 (${\pm}5.27$)에서 술 후 외전 13.26 (${\pm}5.50$), 내회전 17.51 (${\pm}6.80$), 외회전 15.60 (${\pm}5.37$)로 향상된 결과 보였으며 KSS score 는 술 전 49.07 (${\pm}15.28$)점에서 술 후 84.48 (${\pm}10.97$)점, ASES score는 술 전 48.65 (${\pm}13.27$)점에서 술 후 84.65 (${\pm}9.86$)점으로 호전된 결과를 보였다. 견봉 쇄골 관절의 병변이 없는 군의 근력 측정 결과 술 전 외전 6.42 (${\pm}3.11$), 내회전 7.59 (${\pm}4.81$), 외회전 7.93 (${\pm}4.49$)에서 술 후 외전 15.85 (${\pm}7.35$), 내회전 19.18 (${\pm}9.14$), 외회전 16.95 (${\pm}5.70$)로 향상된 결과 보였으며 KSS score는 술 전 42.12 (${\pm}6.43$)점에서 술 후 83.44 (${\pm}6.29$)점, ASES score 는 술 전 41.37 (${\pm}7.42$)점에서 술 후 83.17 (${\pm}7.01$)점으로 두 군 모두 호전된 결과를 보였으나, 견봉 쇄골 관절의 병변이 있는 군에 비해 근력 측정값의 변화 및 ASES, KSS score 수치는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p>0.05). 결론: 회전근 개 파열과 동반된 견봉 쇄골 관절 병변이 있는 군과 없는 군에서 비수술적 치료를 시행한 후 비교 분석한 결과 두 군 모두 술 전에 비해서 술 후 근력 및 ASES, KSS score는 호전된 결과를 나타냈으며, 수술적 치료 후 평가 결과 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 수술 전 회전근 개 파열에 동반된 견봉 쇄골 관절 병변에 대한 치료로서 원위 쇄골 절제술 선택도 가능하지만 보존적인 치료도 충분히 고려해야 될 것으로 생각된다.
