About this study

To study the surgical method and clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tendon tear. Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery from August 2006 to December 2011. Preoperative X-ray and MRI were performed. Rotator cuff repair was performed during the operation. UCLA shoulder scoring scale was used to evaluate the shoulder joint at preoperative and final follow-up.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • From August 2006 to December 2011, patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery in our department and were successfully followed up.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with frozen shoulder and shoulder joint instability.

Treatment and study plan

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Procedure

Patients underwent ubacromial bursectomy and acromioplasty , cuff debridement and cuff repair, side to side suture of rotator cuff combined with suture anchor.

Primary outcomes

  1. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 1 year after arthroscopy.

    Time frame: 1 year after operation

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Shoulder Score Scale at 1 year after operation.The UCLA scale has a minimum score of 2 and a maximum score of 35. The higher the score, the better the prognosis of the patients.

  2. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 2 years after arthroscopy.

    Time frame: 2 years after operation

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 2 years after operation

  3. The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 5 years after arthroscopy.

    Time frame: 5 years after operation

    The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 5 years after operation
