Effect of arthroscopy combined with small incision repair in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff injury
Objective To observe the short-term effect of arthroscopy combined with small incision repair in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff injury,and to explore the clinical significance of arthroscopy combined with small incision repair.Methods A total of 22 patients with full-thickness rotator cuff injury who underwent arthroscopy combined with small incision repair from January 2020 to April 2022 were selected as the study objects.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,active flexion angle and external rotation angle of shoulder joint,Constant-Murley and University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Rating Scale(UCLA)scores were compared before operation and at 6 months follow-up after operation.Results At 6 months follow-up after operation,the VAS score of patients with full-thickness rotator cuff injury was lower than that before operation,and the active flexion angle and external rotation angle of shoulder joint were higher than those before operation(P<0.05).At 6 months follow-up after operation,the Constant-Murley and UCLA scores of patients with full-thickness rotator cuff injury were higher than those before operation(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopy combined with small incision repair is effective in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff injury,which can significantly reduce shoulder joint pain,improve shoulder joint function,and help postoperative rehabilitation.
