Arthroscopic Repair of Full-Thickness Tears of the Rotator Cuff in Patients Younger Than 40 Years

Repair of Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears in Patients Aged Younger Than 55 Years

“…The manuscripts were reviewed, and after removal of those that failed to meet the eligibility criteria, 7 articles remained. 1,2,4,[17][18][19][20] …”

“…1 It is known that full-thickness tears develop less commonly in younger patients than in older patients, that younger patients are more likely to have a traumatic tear etiology, and that younger patients tend to have higher demands in daily life. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Biological factors may support improved rotator cuff healing after repair in young patients, with younger patients shown to have better vascular supply and tendon quality. 9 Furthermore, humeral head osteopenia, which has been associated with full-thickness rotator cuff tears, is less common in younger patients.…”

Avaliação dos resultados do reparo artroscópico de lesões do manguito rotador em pacientes com até 50 anos de idade

“…Complete tearing of the rotator cuff in patients in their first five decades of life is rare, although it has already been described by some authors (5,11,16) . Anatomical studies on cadavers have shown that degeneration of the rotator cuff is a normal process of human aging (11,(17)(18)(19) .…”

Treatment of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Utilizing Arthroscopic Versus Open Subacromial Decompression

“…Treatment of SAIS including conservative treatment which includes; analgesia, steroid injection, shock wave therapy and physical therapy. And if no improvement for at least 6 months patient should undergo surgical treatment to prevent progression of the pathology and rotator cuff tear [21]. The surgery can be operated using either an open (OSD) approach or an arthroscopic approach (ASD), which give similar results in the long term follow up [22].…”
