Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of arthroscopic repair with UU-Tension Band suture for full thickness rotator cuff tear above 4 cm sized. Materials and Methods: From January 2006 to October 2011, in 71 full thickness tears above 4 cm sized which is possible to arthroscopic repair to medial margin of greater tuberosity. The group I is 71 patients which is arthroscopic repair with UU-Tension Band suture, and the group II is 20 cases which is arthroscopic repair with simple suture. Both groups were compared with a VAS score for pain, Activity of Daily Living, UCLA score, KSS score in pre operation, 7 months, 1 year and last follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed by student t test and paired t est. Mean age was 63.2 (52~80) year old, mean follow-up was 38.4 (13~62) months. Results: The VAS scores for pain decreased from 8.1 at preoperative period to 1.6 at postoperative last follow-up period in group I (p<0.05), the score decreased from 7.6 at preoperative period to 1.8 postoperative last follow-up period in group II (p<0.05). The significant difference was not noted between two groups (p<0.05). Mean ADL scores increased from 12.5 at preoperative period to 29.0 post operative last follow-up period in group I (p<0.05), the score increased from 11.3 in pre op to 27.5 post-operative last follow-up in group II (p<0.05). The significant difference was not noted between two groups (p<0.05). The UCLA score increased from 12.9 at preoperative period to 28.7 postoperative last follow-up period in group I (p<0.05), the score increased from 13.8 at preoperative period to 30.1 postoperative last follow-up period in group II (p<0.05). The significant difference was not noted between two groups (p<0.05). In comparing of retear which was checked by MRI and ultrasound evaluated at postoperative period 7 months (mean: 27.5 weeks), the retears were 28% in the group I, and 11 shoulders out of 20 shoulders in the group II. The significant differences were noted between two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair with UU-Tension Band suture and simple suture for full thickness rotator cuff tear above 4 cm sized were not different clinical result between both groups. However, the significant differences were noted in point of failure rate between both groups.

목적: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에 대해서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합 법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술에 대한 추시 결과와 유효성을 보고하고자 한다. 방법: 2006년 1월부터 20011년 10월까지 큰 크기의 회전근 개 전 층 파열로 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용하여 적어도 대결절의 내연까지 봉합이 가능하여 관절경하 봉합술을 시행하였던 71예의 환자를 1군으로, 단순 봉합법을 시행하였던 20예를 2군으로 하여 비교하였으며, 술 전과 7개월, 1년, 최종 추시 VAS of pain, ASES 점수의 ADL (Activity of Daily Living), UCLA 점수를 측정하였다. 통계적인 검정은 양군간에 student t-test와 수술 전후에 paired t-test로 비교하였다. 평균 연령은 63.2 (52~80)세 였고 평균 추시 기간은 38.4 (13~62)개월 이었다. 결과: 동통에 대한 VAS 점수에서 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 8.1에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.6로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.6에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.8로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 두 군 간의 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 평균 ADL은 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.5에서 술 후 최종 추시 평균 29.0으로 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 평균 11.3에서 27.5으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). UCLA 점수는 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.9에서 술 후 최종 추시 28.7으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.8에서 술 후 최종 추시 30.1으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). 술 후 평균 27.5주째에 촬영한 MRI (20예)와 초음파 (51예)를 이용한 재 파열의 비교에서 1군에서 28%, 2군에서는 20예중 11예에서 재 파열이 있어서 두 군간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 결론: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술은 단순 봉합법을 이용한 봉합술과 비교하여 임상적으로 차이가 없으나 재 파열에서 의미 있는 차이가 있었다.
