Effect of different geometrical structure of scapula on functional recovery after shoulder arthroscopy operation
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Sep 20, 2019
Shi X, et al. - Researchers intended to determine if there is an association between critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromion index (AI), glenoid inclination (GI), and postoperative repair outcomes in shoulder joints after arthroscopic supraspinatus tendon repair. They analyzed retrospectively 62 patients suffering a supraspinatus tear following the failure of conservative treatment and subsequent shoulder arthroscopy in the hospital. Although higher CSA increased the risk of rotator cuff re-tear, the shoulder function after rotator cuff repair was not significantly affected. Similarly, after rotator cuff repairs, the magnitude of AI and GI did not influence shoulder joint function. It can be seen that the scapula's specific geometry impacts the rotator cuff repair after shoulder surgery, but not the shoulder function restoration.
