Background: We investigated the clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using bioabsorbable suture anchors.
Methods: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using bioabsorbable suture anchors was performed on nineteen shoulders from 2004 to 2011. There were 14 males and 5 females with an average age of 60.7 years old. There were 14 right sides and 5 left. They were followed up for 12 months to 40 months (average 14.6 months). The pre and post-operative results were evaluated according to the shoulder evaluation sheet of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA score).
Results: The average preoperative JOA score was 65.4 points and the average postoperative JOA score was 98.2 points. The average postoperative JOA score improved compared with the preoperative JOA score significantly. The average preoperative JOA pain score was 9.5 points and the average postoperative JOA pain score was 29.5 points. The average preoperative JOA function score was 14.3 points and the average postoperative JOA function score was 19.7 points. The average preoperative JOA ROM score was 22.9 points and the average postoperative JOA ROM score was 29.7 points. Each average postoperative JOA score improved compared with the preoperative JOA score significantly.
Conclusion: The clinical results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using bioabsorbable suture anchors were mostly good.
