New approaches to the use of therapeutic gymnastics and pelotherapy in the rehabilitation of patients after arthroscopic shoulder joint operations

To increase the effectiveness of the rehabilitation of patients after surgical treatment of a rotator cuff rupture, 98 patients were examined and treated. It was revealed that the inclusion of exercises with dynamic controlled muscle tension in combination with thin layer pelotherapy in the medical complex, has an impact on the main clinical symptoms of the disease, regeneration processes, and contributes to an earlier restoration of the impaired functions of the shoulder joint, which is more significant than basic therapy.

Experience in Transosseous Arthroscopic Restoration of Shoulder Rotator Cuff

Results of arthroscopic treatment for 10 patients (10 shoulder joints) with rotator cuff rupture using transosseous suture are presented. Mean age of patients made up 49 (38-63) years. In 2 cases the size of defect was under 1 cm, in 6 cases - 1-3 cm, in 2 cases - 3-5 cm. Mean score by UCLA scale was 13 (8-14) preoperatively and 26 (24-28) in 3 months after intervention. Advantages of the described technique include rapidity of performance, low price and provision of anatomic restoration of injured structures.
