Abstract

Purpose: This paper presents the long term follow-up results of arthroscopic partial repair for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears using a biceps long head auto graft. Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tear, who underwent arthroscopic repair, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who underwent arthroscopic partial repair using a biceps long head auto graft were assigned to group 1, and patients in group 2 underwent arthroscopic partial repair alone. Patients with a less than 50% partial tear of the long head biceps tendon were included in this study. The clinical scores were measured using a visual analogue pain scale (VAS) for pain, range of motion (ROM), The University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score (UCLA), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES), and Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS) scores preoperatively and at the final follow-up. The acromiohumeral interval (AHI) was measured using plain radiographs taken preoperatively and at the final follow-up, and re-tear was evaluated using postoperative ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging at the last follow-up. Results: The mean age of the patients was 62.1±12.7 years, and the mean follow-up period was 90.3±16.8 months. No significant differences in the VAS and ROM (forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation) were found between the two groups (p=0.179, p=0.129, p=0.098, p=0.155, respectively). The UCLA (p=0.041), ASES (p=0.023), and KSS (p=0.019) scores showed functional improvements in group 1 compared to group 2. At the last follow-up, the measured AHI values were 9.46±0.41 mm and 6.86±0.64 mm in group 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.032). Re-tear was observed in six out of 21 cases (28.6%) in group 1 and nine out of 20 cases (45.0%) in group 2; the retear rate was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 (p=0.011). Conclusion: Arthroscopic partial repair for a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear using a biceps long head auto graft has significant clinical usefulness in functional recovery and decreases the re-tear rates after surgery than arthroscopic partial repair alone, showing favorable results after a long-term follow-up.

목적: 본 연구에서는 봉합 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열에 있어서 상완 이두근 건 장두를 이용한 관절경하 부분 봉합술의 임상적 유용성 및 장기 추시 결과를 발표하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 봉합 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열 환자 중 상완 이두근 건 장두에 50% 미만의 파열이 있는 41명의 환자를 대상으로 상완 이두근 건 장두를 이용하여 관절경하 부분 봉합술을 시행받은 1군과 파열되지 않은 상완 이두근 건 장두가 있으나 자가 이식건을 이용하지 않고 관절경하 부분 봉합술만을 시행한 2군으로 나누었다. 임상 점수는 시각통증점수(visual analogue pain scale, VAS), 운동범위(range of motion, ROM), The University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score (UCLA), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES) 및 Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS) 점수로 측정하였으며 최종 추시에 측정된 점수가 사용되었다. 수술 전과 최종 추시에 촬영한 단순 방사선 사진을 이용하여 견봉상완거리(acromiohumeral interval, AHI)를 측정하였고 최종 추시에 시행한 초음파 또는 자기공명영상 검사를 이용하여 재파열 여부를 평가하였다. 결과: 환자의 평균 연령은 62.1±12.7세였으며, 평균 추시 기간은 90.3±16.8개월이었다. 1군과 2군 간에 VAS와 ROM (전방 거상, 외회전, 내회전)의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.179, p=0.129, p=0.098, p=0.155). UCLA, ASES 및 KSS 점수는 2군과 비교해 1군에서 기능적 개선을 보였다(p=0.041, p=0.023, p=0.019). 최종 추시 시 AHI는 1군 9.46±0.41 mm, 2군 6.86±0.64 mm로 측정되었다(p=0.032). 재파열은 1군 21예 중 6예(28.6%), 2군 20예 중 9예(45.0%)에서 발견되었다. 1군의 경우 2군에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 재파열률을 보였다(p=0.011). 결론: 본 연구에서는 봉합이 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열이 있는 환자들에게 상완 이두근 건 장두를 이용한 관절경하 부분 봉합술을 시행하여 장기 추시한 결과, 상완 이두근 건 장두를 사용하지 않은 군에 비하여 기능적 향상 및 낮은 재파열률을 보인다. 따라서 이는 봉합 불가능한 광범위 회전근 개 파열이 있는 환자에서 좋은 수술적 방법으로 생각된다.
