견갑하근 파열의 손상과 치료방식이 발전하면서 견갑하근의 중요성이 더욱 대두되었고 이에 견갑하근의 파열양상, 봉합방법 그리고 후상방 회전근 개 파열과의 관련성 등이 여러 저자들에 의해서 연구 되고 있다. 즉, 이전까지 관심의 대상에서 제외 되었던 견갑하근의 부분파열이 점차적으로 회전근 개 파열의 중요한 역할을 하며 상완 이두건초염과 오구상완 인대의 내측활차의 손상이 이러한 부분파열의 원인을 제공할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 견갑하근 파열에 대한 정확한 원인 인자는 아직 불투명하다. 이에 본 교실에서는 견갑하근 파열의 치료와 견갑하근 파열과 동반 손상된 상완 이두건 손상및 탈구 등을 치료하고 이에 대해 문헌 고찰과 함께 손상 종류에 따른 치료방법을 살펴보고 이에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the results of arthroscopic management of an isolated rupture of the subscapularis tendon using suture anchors. Materials and Methods: Twenty nine patients with unilateral ruptures of the subscapularis tendon and who underwent arthroscopic repair between February 2001 and October 2007 were reviewed prospectively. All the cases were isolated tears of the subscapularis without the involvement of any other rotator cuff tendon. In 19 patients the tear was localized to the superior one third, in 7 cases the tear was localized to the upper two thirds and the entire tendon was involved in 3 cases. The mean follow up period was 12.2 months (range: 6-26 months). The results of the treatment were assessed by evaluating the constant shoulder score and the pain score before surgery and after surgery. Results: The constant shoulder score improved from $49.9\pm7.3$ to $73.8\pm3.0$ points compared to before surgery and the pain score improved from $4.3\pm3.2$ to $11.2\pm3.0$ points postoperatively. Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair of isolated ruptures of the subscapularis tendon using suture anchors is a good option for effectively managing these tears.

견갑하근의 단독 파열은 드물고 또 이에 대한 치료와 관련된 논문도 한정적이었으나 최근 관절경 술식의 발달로 견갑하근 파열의 진단과 치료방식이 발전하고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 견갑하근의 중요성이 더욱 대두되었고 이에 견갑하근의 파열양상, 봉합방법 그리고 후상방회전근 개 파열과의 관련성 등이 여러 저자들에 의해서 연구 되고 있다. 즉, 이전까지 관심의 대상에서 제외 되었던 견갑하근의 부분파열이 점차적으로 회전근 개 파열의 중요한 역할을 하며 상완 이두건초염과 오구상완 인대의 내측활차의 손상이 이러한 부분파열의 원인을 제공할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 견갑하근 파열에 대한 정확한 원인 인자는 아직 불투명하다.

Purpose: To evaluate the results from arthroscopic repair versus debridement for full-thickness tears of the upper subscapularis tendon. Materials and Methods: Ninety-nine patient outcomes were evaluated and compared prospectively. Sixty-nine patients with full-thickness tears of the upper subscapularis tendon underwent arthroscopic repair (group I) and thirty patients underwent simple debridement (group II) between May 2003 and October 2007. In all patients, the tear was localized to the superior one third of the upper subscapularis tendon. The results of the treatment were assessed by evaluating the UCLA, ASES, and VAS for pain and internal rotation strength scores before and after the operation. Results: In groups I and II, UCLA, ASES, VAS, and internal rotation muscle power (perfect score = 5) scores were improved after surgery. In comparing group I and group II, the UCLA and VAS scores were not significantly different (p>0.05), while the ASES and internal rotation strength scores were significantly different (p<0.05). Conclusion: The arthroscopic repair of full-thickness tears of the upper subscapularis tendon was a better surgical method than simple debridement.

Purpose: This study is to analyze the prevalence of various intra-articular lesions in patients with traumatic recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder over 40 years and suggest clinical implications for treatment. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 16 cases that underwent surgical treatment for recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder from January 2001 to May 2009. There were 9 males and 7 females, and the mean age was 52.7years. We carried out arthroscopic exam for all patients based on standard protocol, which included labrum, capular lesion, cuff, bony lesions. Results: All 16 cases showed Hill-Sachs lesion, 3 patients (19%) had bony Bankart lesion, 6 patients (38%) had labral tear. Capsular tear were found 15 patients (94%). Twelve (75%) had ruptured supraspinatus and 5 (31%) had subscapularis tear. Only one (6%) had SLAP lesion. Conclusion: There was relatively higher incidence of capsular and rotator cuff tears in patients over age 40 years. Preoperative planning to address these lesions is highly recommended.
