Özet

Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the early results of patients who were diagnosed with full-thickness rotator cuff tear and underwent arthroscopic repair as a result of physical examination and radiological evaluation. Methods: The study included patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Biceps tenotomy was performed in accompanying biceps pathologies. Acromioplasty was performed in patients with type 2–3 acromion. Rotator cuff ruptures were repaired with a double row technique using a titanium anchor and a peek anchor. University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Constant scoring were used to evaluate the patients who were called for final follow-up controls. The mean follow-up time was 14.6 months (6-24). Results. Acromioplasty performed on 12 patients (30.7%); While biceps tenotomy was performed on 9 patients (23%); Acromioplasty and biceps tenotomy were performed on 4 (10.2%) patients. Preoperative UCLA score was 11.2, Constant score was 26.9, while postoperative UCLA score was 29.6 and Constant score was 83.2. The results were excellent in 13 (33.3%) patients, good in 16 (41%) patiens, moderate in 9 (23%) patients and poor in 2 (5.1%) patients. There was no significant difference between the groups with and without acromioplasty (p = 0.513). A similar situation was observed in the biceps tenotomy (p = 0.619) and acromioplasty + biceps tenotomy (p = 0.374) groups. Conclusion. Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery is an effective treatment option with a suitable patient and correct indication. Acromioplasty and / or biceps tenotomy does not affect early results.
