Brief Summary

The main aim and scope of this study is making observation and comparing the difference in the tear position in the patients suffered form rotator cuff tear with different arthroscopic anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament. The results may identify the influence of the middle glenohumeral ligament anatomy type on the rotator cuff tear.

Conditions

Rotator Cuff Tears

Keywords

Rotator Cuff Tears; Middle Glenohumeral Ligament; Arthroscopic Anatomy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The arthroscopic tear position (Anetrior/Middle/Posterior)

  The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor.

  During the surgery

Study Arms (3)

Leaf-like and Cord-like type

Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was leaf-like or cord-like.

Procedure: Rotator cuff repair

Absent type

Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was absent.

Procedure: Rotator cuff repair

Burford complex type

Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament manifested the burford complex.

Procedure: Rotator cuff repair

Interventions

Rotator cuff repair PROCEDURE

The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Absent type; Burford complex type; Leaf-like and Cord-like type

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with rotator cuff tears received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

You may qualify if:

• partial or full-thickness but reparable rotator cuff tear;
• small- to large-sized rotator cuff tears being defined by DeOrio and Cofied4;
• no improvements after at least 1 month of conservative treatment such as NSAIDs or corticosteroid injection.

You may not qualify if:

• massive rotator cuff tears being defined by DeOrio and Cofied;
• patients with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint;
• trauma or a history of surgery at the shoulder.
