Purpose: Not much is known about the obvious relationship between posteroinferior rotator cuff tear and biceps lesion. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of posteroinferior rotator cuff tear on a biceps lesions by comparing the rotator cuff tear and biceps lesions with the number of cuff tears and the degree of degeneration of the rotator cuff. Materials and Methods: 65 patients who underwent surgery for a posteroinferior rotator cuff tear from 2002 to 2009 were included as subjects. The study determined the factors (the number of cuff tears and the degree of degeneration as assessed by MRI) that affected biceps lesions and the kinematic stability of the rotator cuff. Results: Biceps lesion was noted 11 patients among the 51 patients with supraspinatus tendon tears and in 8 patients among the 14 patients with supraspinatus, infraspinatus or teres minor tendon tears, and there was a statistically significant difference between those two groups (p=0.0095). The number of cuff tears was proportional to biceps lesion with statistical significance (p=0.0095). Among the biceps lesions, SLAP II lesion showed a statistically different distribution according to the number of cuff tears (p=0.0073). The degeneration factors (Goutallier's classification and the tangent sign) had no correlations with biceps lesion. Conclusion: Posterosuperior cuff tear may affect biceps lesion. Especially, the number of cuff tears has a close relationship, but the degenerative indicators have no relationship with biceps lesion.

봄철 무리한 운동으로 발생하기 쉬운 어깨 통증. 어깨 통증을 단순 근육통으로 여기고 방치하면 일상생활이 어려울 수도 있다. 관절와순 파열과 회전근개 파열이 대표적이다. 관절와순 파열은 일반적으로 스포츠 손상이 원인으로 주로 젊은층에게 흔하며, 회전근개 파열은 퇴행성 변화 및 외상이 원인으로 중 장년층에서 흔히 발생한다.

Many rotator cuff tears are operatively treated in recent years. Postoperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff repair is as important as diagnosis of disease or surgery itself. And it is a crucial factor on the prognosis of the surgery. For appropriate rehabilitation, surgeon should have knowledge about the anatomy and biomechanics of shoulder. The purposes of postoperative rehabilitation are to avoid additional injury, to decrease inflammation, to help healing process of collagen, to strengthen weak muscle, to recover decreased range of motion, to increase endurance of muscle and to protect the repair site and deltoid. These protocols must be individualized according to the condition of the patients.
