Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The main aim and scope of this study is making observation and comparing the difference in the tear position in the patients suffered form rotator cuff tear with different arthroscopic anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament. The results may identify the influence of the middle glenohumeral ligament anatomy type on the rotator cuff tear.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Leaf-like and Cord-like type Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was leaf-like or cord-like.	Procedure: Rotator cuff repair; The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Absent type Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was absent.	Procedure: Rotator cuff repair; The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Burford complex type Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament manifested the burford complex.	Procedure: Rotator cuff repair; The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. The arthroscopic tear position (Anetrior/Middle/Posterior) [During the surgery]

   The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor.
