TL;DR
Arthroscopic assisted rotator cuff repair is presented as an attractive alternative in treating symptomatic patients with complete tears of the rotators with significant improvement in pain, function, motion, and strength.
Abstract
Arthroscopic assisted rotator cuff repair is a method of performing an arthroscopic subacromial decompression with repair of the rotator cuff through a limited deltoid splitting approach. We evaluated 25 patients with a minimum of 1 year follow-up. Based on the UCLA shoulder rating, 80% of the patients were rated as excellent or good. There was significant improvement in pain, function, motion, and strength. Ninety-six percent of the patients were satisfied with the procedure. Of the patients with small or moderate size tears, 100% received a satisfactory rating. Arthroscopic assisted rotator cuff repair is presented as an attractive alternative in treating symptomatic patients with complete tears of the rotator cuff.

Impingement on the tendinous portion of the rotator cuff by the coraco-acromial ligament and the anterior third of the acromion is responsible for a characteristic syndrome of disability of the shoulder.

In fifty patients who had fifty tears of the rotator cuff that had been repaired, correlations of the preoperative findings by history, physical examination, and radiography with the operative findings showed that pain and functional impairment, the primary indications for repair, were significantly relieved.

It is important to recognize cuff-tear arthropathy as a distinct pathological entity, as such recognition enhances the understanding of the more common impingement lesions, and it is a factor to consider when deciding whether or not a documented tear of the rotator cuff should be repaired.

In a retrospective study of seventy-four shoulders in seventy-three patients treated at the Geisinger Medical Center between January 1951 and March 1972, the diagnosis of tear of the rotator cuff was confirmed by surgical repair in sixty-five shoulders and by arthrography in nine.

Early surgical repair of rotator cuff tears with a partial anterior acromionectomy is recommended as a means of minimizing a progression of symptoms and findings and a carefully supervised postoperative rehabilitation program is essential for optimum results.
