Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the technique and value of arthroscopically assisted rotator cuff repair based on follow-up results after 3 years. Case series. Since the beginning of 1997, 216 patients included in a clinical case series at the Department of Trauma Surgery of the Hospital of the Barmherzigen Brüder Eisenstadt have undergone arthroscopically assisted rotator cuff repair. Radiographic, clinical, and intraoperative parameters were carefully documented. All patients were treated with an arthroscopically assisted transosseous technique, in which bone tunnels are drilled with a target drill unit through the humeral head lateral to the biceps tendon from a third ventrocaudal incision on the humerus. The nonresorbable sutures placed into the cuff with a suture punch are passed transosseously and tied in the incision directly on the humeral head using a knot pusher. In December 2000, 84 patients (average age, 54.8 years; range, 28 to 74 years) underwent a clinical follow-up evaluation after a mean follow-up time of 35 months (28 to 44 months). The average Constant score improved from a preoperative rating of 44.9 to a postoperative rating of 87.2. University of California, Los Angeles score was improved from 11.3...Continue Reading
