Reversed arthroscopic subacromial decompression for symptomatic irreparable rotator cuff tears: Mid-term follow-up results in 34 shoulders

Popis
Shrnutí:In the elderly, there is no guideline for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff lesions. The results of open or arthroscopic repair are variable. We hypothesized that the use of a reversed arthroscopic subacromial decompression (RASD) would yield comparable results. Between January 2004 and December 2006, thirty-eight patients underwent a RASD for irreparable cuff tears in 39 shoulders. The surgical procedure consisted of a tenotomy of the long head of the biceps tendon, a debridement of the torn rotator cuff and a tuberoplasty, without violation of the coracoacromial arch and the acromion. Thirty-three patients (age 69.9 ± 7.3 years) were available for clinical and radiological evaluation of 34 shoulders (male/female ratio: 11/22), at a mean follow-up of 38 months (range: 21 months–52 months). Two of 33 patients had required revision surgery, and were excluded from further statistical analysis. In the remaining 31 patients (32 shoulders), the modified Constant-Murley score (CMS) improved from 34.9% ± 11.6 to 84.0% ± 11.6 (p < 0.0001). The preoperative mobility did not correlate with the final result. Preoperative pain was found to correlate negatively to the modified CMS at follow-up (p= 0.0038). Although the acromiohumeral height decreased with 2.58 mm ± 1.68 and the severity of glenohumeral osteoarthritis increased with one grade (Samilson-Prieto classification), there was no correlation with the functional outcome. We conclude that for irreparable rotator cuff tears in the elderly, excellent mid-term results can be achieved with a RASD.
