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.

Background: The subscapularis tendon is essential in maintaining normal glenohumeral biomechanics. However, few studies have addressed the outcomes of tears extending to the subscapularis tendon in massive rotator cuff tears. Purpose: To assess the clinical and structural outcomes of arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears involving the subscapularis. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Between January 2010 and January 2014, 122 consecutive patients with massive rotator cuff tear underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Overall, 122 patients were enrolled (mean age, 66 years; mean follow-up period, 39.5 months). Patients were categorized into 3 groups based on subscapularis tendon status: intact subscapularis tendon (I group; n = 45), tear involving less than the superior one-third (P group; n = 35), and tear involving more than one-third of the subscapularis tendon (C group; n = 42). All rotator cuff tears were repaired; however, subscapularis tendon tears involving less than the superior one-third in P group were only debrided. Pain visual analog scale, Constant, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores and passive range of motion were measured preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Rotator cuff integrity, global fatty degeneration index, and occupation ratio were determined via magnetic resonance imaging preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Results: We identified 37 retears (31.1%) based on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging evaluation. Retear rate in patients in the C group (47.6%) was higher than that in the I group (22.9%) or P group (20.0%) ( P = .011). Retear subclassification based on the involved tendons showed that subsequent subscapularis tendon retears were noted in only the C group. The improvement in clinical scores after repair was statistically significant in all groups but not different among the groups. Between-group comparison showed significant differences in preoperative external rotation ( P = .021). However, no statistically significant difference was found in any shoulder range of motion measurements after surgery. Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair of massive tears results in substantial improvements in shoulder function, despite the presence of combined subscapularis tears. However, this study showed a high failure rate of massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tear repair extending more than one-third of the subscapularis tendon. When combined subscapularis tendon tear was less than the superior one-third of the subscapularis tendon, arthroscopic debridement was a reasonable treatment method where comparable clinical and anatomic outcomes could be expected.
