Abstract
Purpose : To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the subacromial bursoscopy with glenohumeral air infusion technique for detection of the full thickness tear which we used to think as a partial thickness tear, because it was hidden by bursal tissue. Materials and methods : We chose 65 cases and divided them into 2 groups. The group I was 18 cases with partial thickness rotator cuff tears on glenohumeral arthroscopic evaluation, and the group 2 was 37 cases with full thickness rotator cuff tears which were repaired. We inflated the glenohumeral Joint with 50-100ml of air and observed air bubble leakage simultaneously on bursoscopy. Results : In group I, we could detect air leakage in 3 cases and found that it was full thickness tear. In group II, 2 cases revealed too much air leakage proved that it was incomplete repair and was in need of additional suture. Conclusion : Air infusion technique is though to be a valuable method in differentiation between the partial and full thickness tear and for evaluation of the security of the repair.
목적 : 견봉하 점액낭에 가려져 부분층 파열로 여겼던 회전근개 전층 파열을 견관절 내 공기 주입 방식을 사용한 견봉하 점액낭 관절경적 관찰로 효과적인 진단의 가능 여부를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 65예 중 견관절 관절경상 회전근 개 부분층 파열인 18예를 제 1군으로, 전층 파열로서 봉합을 시행 한 37예를 제 2군으로 나누어 견관절에
