Abstract
Objective To compare the treatment effects of artbroseopie single and double-row fixa-tions for rotator cuff injury. Methods Eight patients with rotator cuff injury were treated by arthro-seopie single-row fixations, and 7 patients by arthroscopie double-row fixation. Functional recovery of shoulder joint was observed and evaluated by University of California-Los Angels (UCLA) scoring system after operation. Results Double-row fixation was better than single-row fixation in functional recovery and UCLA score after operation. In the single-row fixation group, 2 patients experienced pull-out of anchors and had to undergo re-operation; 2 patients suffered from shoulder pain after operation due to breakage of suture and thus also had to undergo re-fixation. Conclusion Arthroscopic double-row fixation is better than single-row fixation in treating rotator cuff injury because the former increases fixation security and contact area between the broken tendon and humeral trochanter. Key words: Arthroscopy; Rotator cuff; Lacerations; Shoulder joint
