{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: To investigate the effect of arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair in the treatment of rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder and its influence on the range of motion and pain score of shoulder joint, and the levels of serum pain mediators.
UNASSIGNED: This was prospective study. A total of 132 patients with rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder admitted to The Third Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method: control group (n=67) and observation group (n=65). Patients in the control group were treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair alone, while those in the observation group were treated with arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair, and the surgical effects of the two groups were compared.
UNASSIGNED: Three months after treatment, the external rotation, internal rotation, abduction, forward flexion, β-endorphin(β-EP), prostagranin E2 (PGE2) and substance P(SP)in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the weight-bearing strength of the affected limb in internal rotation, external rotation and forward flexion was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Meanwhile, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at one month and three months after treatment, while the University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA) score and Constant-Murley Score (CMS) were higher than those of the control group (P< 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair improves various effects for patients with rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder, such as ameliorating the muscle strength of the affected limb and improving the level of pain mediators.
