RESUMO
Antecedentes y objetivoAnalizar la cicatrización mediante ecografía y el seguimiento funcional a mediano plazo de pacientes con roturas parciales bursales del manguito rotador (RPBMR) con reparación in situ sin acromioplastia.Materiales y métodosSe evaluaron 62 pacientes. Se realizó la medición del rango de movimiento y la puntuación en el score American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES). El dolor se registró usando una escala visual análoga (EVA). Se valoró ecográficamente la reparación con un mínimo de seguimiento de 5 años.ResultadosLa edad promedio fue de 57,2 años (rango de 44 a 77 años) y el seguimiento promedio, de 7 años (rango de 5 a 9 años). Todos los parámetros del rango de movimiento activo mejoraron significativamente (p<0,0001). El puntaje de ASES mejoró de 46,5 a 90,2 y los puntajes EVA mejoraron de 6,5 a 1,73 (p<0,0001). Un total de 56 pacientes (90%) realizaron control ecográfico al final del seguimiento; 51 presentaron integridad del tendón (91%) en la ecografía. Cinco pacientes presentaron re-roturas (9%); 3 tuvieron una re-rotura completa del tendón (5%) y 2 una re-rotura parcial (4%). No hubieron diferencias funcionales o del rango de movilidad significativas entre aquellos pacientes con el tendón intacto y los que presentaron re- roturas.ConclusionesA mediano plazo, la reparación in situ artroscópica de RPBMR demostró excelentes resultados funcionales en la mayoría de los pacientes con baja tasa de complicaciones. Estos mantienen un alto índice de cicatrización en el tiempo.(AU)
Background and purposeThe purpose of this study was to analyze midterm functional outcomes and tendon integrity in patients treated with in situ arthroscopic repair of Partial Bursal Rotator Cuff Tears (PBRCTs) without acromioplasty.Materials and methodsSixty two patients were included. Clinical assessment consisted of glenohumeral range of motion measurement and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Pain was rated by using a visual analog scale (VAS). A postoperative ultrasound image control was performed at a minimum 5 years follow up to assess tendon integrity.ResultsMean age was 57.2 years (range, 4477 years) and mean follow up was 7 years (range of 59 years). Significant improvements in range of motion, functional outcomes and pain were observed postoperatively (P<.0001). The ASES score improved from 46.5 to 90.2; and the VAS improved from 6.5 to 1.73 (P<.0001). Fifty six patients (90%) performed ultrasound evaluation at the end of follow up. Fifty-one patients (91%) presented tendon integrity on ultrasound. Five patients presented re-tears (9%). Three patients (5%) had a complete tendon re-tear and two patients (4%) had a partial re-tear. No difference in range of motion or functional outcomes were found between patients with intact tendon and those who had re-tears.ConclusionsIn the midterm follow up, arthroscopic in situ repair PBRCTs without acromioplasty showed excellent functional outcomes and high healing rates in most patients with low complication rates.(AU)
