ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Functional outcome after rotator cuff reconstruction is influenced by several factors of which re-rupture is probably the most important.AIM:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the postoperative outcome including re-rupture rate after arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction.METHOD:
23 shoulders of 22 patients were examined prospectively. Physical examination, ultrasound and radiography were performed. Quality of life and functional outcome were evaluated using Constant Score and Visual Analog Scale.RESULTS:
Excellent or good results were found in 80% of the patients. The Constant Score has increased from 45 to 79, and the level of pain decreased from 6.6 to 2.5. Full-thickness rotator cuff tear was absent, but partial tear occurred in 7 cases (30%). Average acromiohumeral distance in the operated side was 8.5 mm compared to 9.5 mm measured on the contralateral shoulder.CONCLUSIONS:
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a safe and reliable procedure that provides good results.Key words
