Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of bioabsorbable knotless suture anchoring for isolated type II SLAP. Materials and Methods: Fourteen patients with isolated type II SLAP underwent a surgical repair with bioabsorbable knotless anchor arthroscopically. Instability, rotator cuff tears or simple subacromial decompression were excluded. The UCLA and pain of VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), ADL (Activity of Daily Living, from the American Shoulder and Elbow Society) were evaluated and patients underwent a thorough shoulder examination at a minimum follow-up period of 2 years postoperatively. Results: At a mean of 27.1 months follow-up. The mean UCLA score improved from 14.4 pre-operatively to 31.2 on last follow-up. The mean VAS for pain was 4.9 and on last follow-up 1.0. The mean VAS for instability was 2.6 and on last follow-up 0.5. The mean ADL was 10.4 and on last follow-up 25.0. 12 patients reported their satisfaction as good to excellent and 10 of the 14 patients returned to their pre-injury level of activity (athletics) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair with bioabsorbable knotless suture anchors is an effective surgical technique for the treatment of an isolated unstable type II SLAP lesion. Overall satisfaction was only 85.7%. 1 patient had severe stiffness and 1 patient had shoulder pain.

목적: 이 연구는 제 2형 SLAP 병변에 대한 생체흡수성 knotless suture anchor의 결과를 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 단독으로 발생한 제2형 SLAP 병변을 가진 14예의 환자가 관절경 하 생체흡수성 knotless anchor를 이용하여 수술적 봉합을 시행받았다. UCLA 및 통증에 대한 VAS, ASD가 평가에 이용되었으며, 술 후 추시 최소 2년째 견관절 검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 평균 27.1 개월의 추시기간 동안 평균 UCLA 점수는 술 전 14.4에서 최종 추시에는 31.2로 향상되었다. 통증에 대한 평균 VAS 점수는 4.9에서 최종 추시에는 1.0이었다. 불안정성에 대한 평균 VAS 점수는 2.6에서 최종 추시에서는 0.5였다. 평균 ADL은 10.4에서 최종 추시에 25.0이었다. 12예의 환자가 우수, 우량의 만족도를 보였으나 14예 중 단 10예만이 수상 전 운동 범위로 돌아갔다(P<0.05). 결론: 생체흡수성 knotless suture anchor를 사용하는 관절경적 봉합술은 단독 제2형 SLAP 병변의 치료에 대해 효과적인 수술 술기이다. 전체 만족도는 단지 85.7%였으며, 게다가 1예에서는 심한 강직을, 1예에서는 활액막염으로 인한 장기간의 견관절 통증을 보였다.
