Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postoperative results between mattles suture only (A method) and suture bridging addition group (B method) to the transtendon suture anchor technique to articular surface tears of the rotator cuff.
Methods: We used this Transtendon Suture Anchor Technique to articular surface tears of about 50% of the tendon's thickness and the cases of delamination observed with GH arthroscopy. The A method was carried out on 13 men and two women. The B method was carried out on 7 men and 8 women.
Results: The JOA score has significantly improved both in the A method, after the operation (an average of 95.0) from before the operation (an average of 72.5) and the B method after the operation (an average of 95.5) from before the operation (an average of 66.3) (P<0.01). In the A method and the B method, we did not observe a significant difference in postoperative pain, function, and ROM. The A method on the VAS score (0-4) 2nd day after the operation was 2.7, on the other hand, the B method was 1.6, and a significant difference was seen (P<0.01).
Discussion: Postoperative short-term results of the transtendon suture anchor technique to PASTA lesions were mostly satisfactory. As for the suture bridging addition group B, decrease of postoperative pain was seen. We would also like to examine the repair state next.
