lüll Major ruptures of the rotator cuff The results of surgical repair in 89 patients Watson MJ Bone Joint Surg Br 1985[Aug]; 67 (4): 618-24Major ruptures of the rotator cuff were repaired in 89 patients over a six-year period, using an approach through the split deltoid muscle and the bed of the excised outer centimetre of the clavicle. Review of these patients showed that poor results were associated with larger cuff defects, with more pre-operative steroid injections and with pre-operative weakness of the deltoid muscle. A randomised prospective study showed that repair followed by splinting in abduction gave no better results than repair followed by resting the arm at the side. Excision of the coraco-acromial ligament was associated with worse results than leaving its divided halves in situ. Follow-up showed that the results continued to improve for two years after operation; their quality was maintained in patients less than 60 years old, but in those over 60 there was deterioration with time.|*Tendon Injuries[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Ligaments, Articular/surgery[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Methods[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Postoperative Care[MESH]|Prospective Studies[MESH]|Radiography[MESH]|Random Allocation[MESH]|Rupture[MESH]|Shoulder Joint/diagnostic imaging/*surgery[MESH]|Splints[MESH]|Steroids/adverse effects[MESH]|Tendons/surgery[MESH] |
