Efficacy of arthroscopic deep rotator cuff suture with spinal needle for rotator cuff repair in treating rotator cuff tears.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, satisfactory postoperative outcomes can be achieved by simplifying the surgical procedure and ensuring proper integration of the deep rotator cuff tissue with the footprint area for tendon reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy of arthroscopic spinal needle sutures for the repair of rotator cuff tears.

Methods

This retrospective study included a cohort of 81 patients with rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic suture repair using a spinal needle between January 2021 and March 2021, with a minimum follow-up duration of 27 months. Pre- and postoperative Constant-Murley Score (CMS), University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLASS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and
