Kronik rotator manşet yırtığı olan hastaların tedavisinde basit çift-sıra rotator manşet tamiri ile "Belt and Suspender’s" tekniğinin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Aim: Surgical treatment of chronic rotator cuff tears is still unclear. Many surgical techniques have been used in the treatment. The aim of the study is to compare the functional outcomes of two different surgical techniques.Methods: Of the 27 patients in the study; 13 underwent Belt and Suspender's Technique (2 male, 11 female), 14 underwent simple double row rotator cuff repair technique (4 male, 10 female). Clinical assessment was made according to American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scoring system and Visual Analog Scale (VAS).Results: There was no statistically significant difference between postoperative ASES scores, VAS scores, range of motions (ROM) and complications. In both groups, failure of healing was seen in one each patient. Conclusion: According to this study treatment for chronic rotator cuff tear using a Belt and Suspender's technique is as effective and reliable as simple double row cuff repair technique method with low complication rates and good results can be achieved in clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period.
