Abstract

Objective

To analyze and compare the effect of the forming operation of the type III acromion forming operation and non- forming operation in the rotator cuff repair operation.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed and analyzed, which included 39 rotator cuff repair operation under the shoulder arthroscopy at department of sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The supraspinatus outlet radiograph showed that all patient’s acromion were type III acromion before the operation, and subacromial space without obvious stenosis. Single row suture technique was used for all patients. According to acromioplasty used or not, all patients were divided into two groups: A group (type III acromion forming operation) and B group (type III acromion non- forming operation). The mean follow-up was 25.2months. Follow up by UCLA score, ASES score, range of motion, the failure rate were used for evaluating the clinical effect.

Results

During the follow-up, there was no significant difference of the results of UCLA score, ASES score, range of motion, failure rates between two groups.
Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between of the forming operation of the type III acromion forming operation and non- forming operation in the rotator cuff repair.
