Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of shoulder arthroscopic double row suture bridge repair program in patients with rotator cuff tears.Methods 118 cases of rotator cuff tear patients admitted from September 2019 to July 2023 were selected, then they were divided in the control group and pilot group, each with 59 cases (the random number table method was used as the basis for dividing the groups), and each of two groups 1 case was lost, and finally 58 cases were included in each. Both underwent shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under general anesthesia, the control group was treated with single-row fixed suture, the pilot group was treated with double row suture bridge repair program, and were followed up for 6 months after surgery. Two groups were compared operative-related conditions, pain [visual analogue scale (VAS) score], shoulder function [the Constant-Murley scale, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scale], shoulder mobility, inflammatory reaction [C reactive protein (CRP), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] and safety.Results Compared to control group, surgery time of the pilot group was shorter, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); Compared to before surgery, VAS score in two groups 6 months after surgery was lower, the pilot group was lower than that of control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); Constant-Murley scale, UCLA scale and ASES scale of pilot group 6 months after surgery were higher than those of control group, and the shoulder joint mobility 6 months after surgery was bigger than that of control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); CRP, TGF-β1, IL-6 3 days after surgery in two groups were higher than those before surgery, but the pilot group was lower than control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); Compared to control group (13.79% and 18.97%), the incidence of rotator cuff re-tear and joint stiffness were lower in the pilot group (3.45% and 3.45%), the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion The application of double-row suture bridge repair technique in patients with rotator cuff tear could shorten the operation time, reduce the postoperative inflammatory stress and pain, improve the shoulder mobility, restore the shoulder function, and reduce the occurrence of rotator cuff re-tear and joint stiffness.
