Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of study is to describe outcome of the knotless-in-situ suture-bridge repair technique, combining concept of articular-preservation, medial-row knotless, and full-layer repair on the high-grade bursal-side rotator cuff tear (PBS-RCT). METHODS: The repair-technique, on 27 shoulders with PBS-RCT, were retrospectively evaluated. Range of Motion (RoM), visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) score were evaluated. Minimal 6-months Post-operative MRI were evaluated for repair-integrity. RESULT: RoM evaluation, VAS, and ASES Score were improved significantly (P < 0.01). Post-operative MRI showed intact repaired tendon in 25-patients (96.2%). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic knotless-in-situ suture-bridge repair technique in PBS- RCT showed good functional-outcome and repair-integrity at minimum 2-years after surgery.
