Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the structural outcomes of arthroscopic repair of traumatic rotator cuff (RC) tears and analyze the factors related to retears, focusing on tendon quality observed using arthroscopy.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who had undergone arthroscopic repair of traumatic full-thickness RC tears between 2014 and 2021. Traumatic RC tears were defined as the sudden onset or worsening of shoulder pain or function within 3 years following a slip or fall. Gross tendon quality was assessed using arthroscopic imaging and categorized as none, mild, or advanced, which corresponded to grades 0, 1, and 2, respectively. RC retear was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 6 months and clinically evaluated at least 1 year after surgery.

Results: A total of 121 patients were included in the study, and the RC retear rate was 27.3% (33/121). RC retears were significantly associated with medial supraspinatus retraction (P = 0.015), atrophy with fatty infiltration (P = 0.010) on MRI, tendon deterioration (P < 0.001), and anterior rotator cable rupture (P = 0.034) observed during arthroscopy. In multivariable analysis, advanced tendon deterioration (grade 1 vs. 0: odds ratio [OR] 0.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.1-1.3, P = 0.117; grade 2 vs. 0: OR 6.3, 95% CI 1.9-21.2, P = 0.003) and the absence of initial pseudoparesis (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0.02-1.0, P = 0.045) were identified as significant predictors of retear. Additionally, supraspinatus medial retraction (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0-2.2, P = 0.056) was identified as a potential predictor of retear. The final function visual analog scale was significantly lower in the RC retear group than in the intact group (7.1 ± 1.8 vs. 8.0 ± 1.2, P = 0.013), whereas other shoulder function parameters were similar between the groups. Final shoulder function was not significantly affected by tendon quality.

Conclusions: Gross tendon quality, as assessed during arthroscopy, along with supraspinatus medial retraction and the absence of initial pseudoparesis, were predictors of retear in the repair of traumatic RC tears. Intraoperative assessment of tendon quality would be important for predicting surgical outcomes in traumatic RC tear repair.

Level of evidence: Level IV, Retrospective case series.

急性外伤性肩袖撕裂后肌腱质量恶化和中位回缩是关节镜修复后再撕裂的预测因素。
目的:本研究旨在探讨关节镜下修复外伤性肩袖撕裂的结构结果,并分析与撕裂相关的因素,重点关注关节镜下观察到的肌腱质量。方法:本回顾性研究纳入了2014年至2021年间接受关节镜修复创伤性全层RC撕裂的患者。外伤性RC撕裂定义为在滑倒或跌倒后3年内突然发作或恶化的肩部疼痛或功能。通过关节镜成像评估大体肌腱质量,并将其分为无、轻度和晚期,分别对应0级、1级和2级。术后6个月采用磁共振成像(MRI)评估RC恢复情况,术后至少1年进行临床评估。结果:共纳入121例患者,RC回收率为27.3%(33/121)。在关节镜检查中,RC撕裂与内侧冈上肌挛缩(P = 0.015)、MRI萎缩伴脂肪浸润(P = 0.010)、肌腱恶化(P < 0.001)和前旋肌索断裂(P = 0.034)显著相关。在多变量分析中,晚期肌腱恶化(1级vs. 0级:优势比[OR] 0.3, 95%可信区间[CI] 0.1-1.3, P = 0.117;2级对0级:OR为6.3,95% CI为1.9-21.2,P = 0.003)和无初始假性全瘫(OR为0.1,95% CI为0.02-1.0,P = 0.045)被认为是复发的重要预测因素。此外,冈上肌内侧回缩(OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0-2.2, P = 0.056)被确定为回缩的潜在预测因子。RC复位组的最终功能视觉模拟量表明显低于完整组(7.1±1.8比8.0±1.2,P = 0.013),而两组之间的其他肩关节功能参数相似。最终的肩关节功能不受肌腱质量的显著影响。结论:关节镜下评估的大体肌腱质量、冈上肌内侧牵伸和初始假性麻痹的缺失是外伤性RC撕裂修复中再拉的预测因素。术中评估肌腱质量对于预测外伤性RC撕裂修复的手术结果非常重要。证据等级:四级,回顾性病例系列。
