大型及巨大肩袖撕裂的肩关节镜下治疗

目的 探讨全关节镜下手术对大型及巨大肩袖撕裂进行治疗的手术技巧与临床疗效.方法 2004年3月至2008年9月对13例大型或巨大肩袖撕裂患者行肩关节镜下手术治疗,男3例,女10例;年龄45～72岁,平均58.3岁.4例有肩关节摔伤病史,3例有搬抬重物致伤史,其余患者无明显外伤史.肩关节疼痛、无力病史4个月～7年,平均10.6个月.关节镜下11例患者行肩峰成形术,8例行肩袖组织缝合锚修复,5例行单纯肩袖组织清理等.采用视觉模拟法(VAS)疼痛评分和加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)肩关节功能评分进行疗效评估.结果 所有患者术后随访16～32个月,平均18.2个月.术前VAS评分为(6.6±1.3)分,末次随访时为(1.5±1.1)分.术前UCLA肩关节评分为(11.2±2.2)分,末次随访时为(29.5±2.2)分.术前与末次随访时各项评分差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 肩关节镜下手术治疗大型及巨大肩袖撕裂是一种微创、有效、安全的治疗方式.

Arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears

Objective To evaluate arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCT) . Methods From March 2004 to September 2008, 13 LMRCT patients, 3 nales and 10 females, were treated under arthroscopy. Their mean age was 58.3 years old, with a range of 45 to 72 years.Arthroscopic operations included 11 cases of acromioplasty, 8 cases of rotator cuff repair with metal suture anchor and 5 cases of simple debridement. The clinical outcome was assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS) and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) scoring system. Results The follow-up periods averaged 18.2 months, with a range of 16 to 32 months. The mean preoperative and end follow-up VAS scores were 6. 6 ± 1.3 vs. 1.5 ± 1.1. The mean preoperative and end follow-up UCLA scores were 11.2 ± 2. 2 vs.29. 5 ± 2.2. There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative scores ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Arthroscopy may be the least invasive, most effective and safest treatment for LMRCT.
