SUMMARY OF NEW FINDINGS:
The author have analysed the pathology of rotator cuff tear and the concomitants
lesions such as long head biceps lesion, superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion
(SLAP) on magnetic resonance imaging and on arthroscopic image with numerous
patients. By analyzing the pathology of rotator cuff tear and the concomitant
lesions on 119 patients who had MRI and were treated by the arthroscopic rotator
cuff repair, the author found that:
+ there are 32 SLAP lesions, 3 long head biceps tendon lesions on 119
patients who had MRI and were operated.
+ 77 partial thickness rotator cuff tear, 67 full thickness rotator cuff tear ( 1
small tear, 49 medium tears, 3 large tears) were found on the shoulder
arthroscopy.
This is a perspective research with 144 patients with rotator cuff tear who
treated by arthroscopic repair and followed up mid term and long term. This is
the first research on the arthroscopic rotator cuff suture in Viet Nam with a large
number of patients. The dissertation have had the contribution to indication of
surgery, the suture technique, and rehabilitation in treating rotator cuff tear, a new
field that was not studied in Viet Nam.
