Background. Rotator cuff tears have long been recognised as a cause of pain and disability. Over the past decades the treatment of rotator cuff tears has evolved from an open procedure to a mini-open procedure to an all-arthroscopic one. The indications and benefits of each of the procedures are still debated. The purpose of this study was to observe the results of “Mini-open repair rotator cuff tear”. Material and methods. This was a prospective study conducted in the postgraduate department of Ortho­paedics Government Medical College, Srinagar, from March 2013 to January 2018 with cases followed up for a minimum of 3 years. This study included 50 patients of either sex with non-massive full thickness tears of rotator cuff. Results. The mean UCLA score improved from 10.96 preoperatively to 30.68 at final follow-up. Overall, 88% of the patients achieved excellent or good results and 92% were satisfied. No significant difference was noted in functional outcomes between traumatic and degenerative tears. Size of tear seems to be a determining factor in the functional outcome. Stiffness as a complication occurred in two patients. Conclusion. 1. Mini-open rotator cuff tear repair eliminated sym­pto­matic full thickness rotator cuff tears with significant improvement in functional scores. 2. There were no major complications of the surgical procedure adop­ted or the fixation method used. 3. Mini-open rotator cuff repair remains a useful technique despite advan­ces in arthroscopy.

Purpose: Despite the improvements in the repair equipment techniques of rotator cuff, a gold standard method has not been defined yet and transosseous fixation through deltoid-splitting (mini-open) approach is still regarded as a good option. The primary purpose of this study is to present satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes with a novel transosseous device in full-thickness rotator cuff tear through deltoid-splitting. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 70 consecutive patients who underwent surgery by a single surgeon from June 2014 to June 2016 for a full-thickness rotator cuff tear and was managed with a novel transosseous device. Total number of patients, mean age, percentage of male and female patients, mean duration of follow-up, percentage of involvement of the dominant extremity, affected shoulder, and tear size were recorded. Functional and clinical outcomes were assessed baseline and postoperatively at 3 and 6 months and final follow-up using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) and Constant-Murley scores. Results: A total of 70 (49 (70%) female, 21 (30%) male) patients whose mean age was 58.66 ± 9.19 (38–77) years were included. The mean surgery time was 35.33 ± 5.34 (28–55) min. The mean follow-up time was 28.31 ± 3.03 (24–36) months. According to the DeOrio and Cofield classification, 15 (21.43%) tears were small, 33 (47.14%) medium, 16 (22.86%) large, and 6 (8.57%) massive. By the final follow-up, the mean Constant-Murley score had significantly improved from 27.67 ± 7.46 (13–41) to 81.25 ± 3.77 (74–87; p = 0.0001) and the Q-DASH score had decreased from 82.34 ± 10.37 (65.91–100) to 10.28 ± 6.88 (0–23.45; p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences in the Constant-Murley or Q-DASH score at baseline–final follow-up between the small, medium, large, and massive tear groups ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: Treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tear using this novel transosseous device significantly improved functional and clinical scores. However, further long-term prospective randomized multicenter trials involving comparative studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

The retrospective study was performed on 200 patients with painful shoulders who underwent ultrasound according to the standard protocol of the Radiology Centre of Hanoi Medical UniversityHospital. Out of these patients, 41 cases underwent arthroscopy. The results of ultrasound and arthroscopy were analyzed and compared in the assessment of the diagnostic value of ultrasound in lesions of shoulder.Results: Ultrasound detected 31.5% with partial-thickness rotator cuff tear, 21% with full-thickness rotator cuff tear and 20.5% with tendonitis. Ultrasound showed a sensitivity (Sn) of 80%, specificity(Sp) of 95.2%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 94.1%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 83.3% in diagnosing full-thickness rotator cuff tear. For partial-thickness rotator cuff tear, it showed a Snof 57.1%, Sp of 92.6%, PPV of 80%, NPV of 80.6%. In detection of tendonitis, Sn of ultrasound was 57.1%, Sp was 88.2%, PPV was 50%, NPV was 90%. Ultrasound showed a Sn of 39.3%, Sp of92.3%, PPV of 91.7%, NPV of 43.4% in evaluating subacromial-subdeltoid bursa.
