Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between rotator cuff tear and nerve injury, and prevalence of nerve injury using electromyographic study. Materials and Methods: From May 2004 to Feb. 2005, 19 cases, who underwent surgery for full-thickness rotator cuff tear, were evaluated for nerve injury using electomyogram instruments preoperatively. Rotator cuff tears caused by acute high energy trauma were excluded in this study. Mean age was 59 (range, 45-87) years and mean duration of symptoms was 45 (range, 1-360) month. Results: There were six nerve injuries (31.6%). All of them were incomplete brachial plexus injuries, and mainly postganglionic lesions. Four cases among them had minor trauma history. There were no significant differences in terms of cuff tear size, range of motion, pain score and functional score between groups with and without nerve injury. Conclusion: This study showed high prevalence (31.6%) of nerve injury in full-thickness rotator cuff tear. So careful physical examination and evaluation for nerve injury are needed in rotator cuff tear.
목적: 견관절 회전근 개 전층 파열로 진단된 환자를 대상으로 전기 진단 검사를 통하여 신경 손상 유무를 조사하여 유병율 및 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2004년 5월 1일부터 2005년 2월 1일 까지 본원에서 회전근 개 전층 파열로 확진되어 수술적 가료를 받은 환자중 급성기 외상으로 인하여 발생한 골절 및 탈구가 없는 19례에서 술전에 전기 진단 검사를 시행하여, 신경 손상의 유병율 및 여러 가지 요인과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 이들 대상 환자의 평균 연령은
