OBJECTIVE: Rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury that often leads to serious limitations in daily life. Herein, a network Meta-analysis using frequency theory was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of five rotator cuff repair techniques, including single-row repair, double-row repair, suture bridge repair, platelet-rich plasma therapy, and bone marrow stimulation, thus guiding clinical decision-making on rotator cuff repair.
METHODS: PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials and cohort studies comparing rotator cuff repair techniques published from inception to May 2022. Combined analysis and quality assessment were performed using software STATA15.1 and Review Manager5.3.
RESULTS: A total of 51 articles were finally included, including 27 randomized controlled trials and 24 cohort studies. Results from the network Meta-analysis showed that: (1) In terms of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, platelet-rich plasma therapy, double-row repair, bone marrow stimulation, and single-row repair were significantly better than suture bridge repair. (2) In terms of Constant score, bone marrow stimulation was significantly better than double-row repair, single-row repair, and suture bridge repair. (3) In terms of visual analog scale score, platelet-rich plasma therapy was significantly better than double-row repair and suture bridge repair. (4) In terms of the Shoulder Rating Scale of the University of California at Los Angeles score, platelet-rich plasma therapy and double-row repair were relatively better but not significantly different from the other treatments. (5) In terms of the risk of re-tear, the re-tear rate of platelet-rich plasma therapy and double-row repair was significantly lower than that of single-row repair and suture bridge repair.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of network Meta-analysis and surface under the cumulative ranking, platelet-rich plasma therapy, bone marrow stimulation, and double-row repair have good overall rehabilitation effects. It is recommended to choose appropriate repair techniques as per the actual clinical situation.

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and retear rate between arthroscopic double row (DR) and suture bridge (SB) repair for rotator cuff tears. Postoperative Constant score and MRI findings were compared between 52 patients underwent DR repair and 63 patients underwent SB repair with medium tear of the supraspinatus. There was no significant difference in Constant score between the two groups. Postoperative MRI revealed that retear rate of SB group was significantly lower than DR group. This study suggests that SB repair can provide better clinical and structural outcomes compared with DR repair.

OBJECTIVE: To report the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic suture bridge repair for the GT fractures of the shoulder joint.
METHODS: From March 2008 to July 2013, we performed arthroscopic suture bridge repair of the GT fractures displaced more than 5 mm superiorly or posteriorly, but less than 2 cm in 40 cases [20 men, 20 women; mean age, 56 (27-80) years] with the average 32 (24-48) months follow-up. At the final follow-up, clinical (ASES, UCLA, SST, KSS score and range of motions) and radiological outcomes using post-operative MRI or CT scan were evaluated. Associated injuries occurred in 21 cases (52.5%): 8 rotator cuff tears; 7 SLAP lesions; 3 glenoid rim fractures; 3 Bankart lesions; 5 biceps tendon tears; 1 partial subscapularis tear; 1 combined subscapularis and biceps tendon tear, and 1 brachial plexus injury.
RESULTS: At the final follow-up, the mean VAS score improved from 7 to 1; ASES, to 92; UCLA, to 32; KSS, to 90; and SST, to 10. Mean forward flexion, abduction, external rotation at the side, and internal rotation at the back were improved to 157°, 157°, 37° and T11, respectively. Mean residual superior and posterior displacement of the fracture was 0 (range -5 to 3.3) mm and 0.1 (-5.5 to 3.2) mm, respectively, compared to pre-operative displacement of 4.9 (0-14) mm and 4.5 (0-20) mm, respectively (p < 0.001). Complications included anchor protrusion in five cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic suture bridge repair was useful for the treatment of displaced GT fractures with or without comminution and the management of the combined lesions. At the final follow-up, meaningful remodeling of the GT fracture and satisfactory clinical outcomes could be achieved.
