Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim and scope of this study is making measurement and comparison of the cross-sectional area of the long head of the biceps tendon(LHBT) in the patients suffered form rotator cuff tear with different tear positions, and making observation and comparison of the impairment type of the LHBT in the patients suffered from rotator cuff tear with different tear positions. The results may identify the influence of the tear position on the LHBT.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Anterior tear group

The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor. The patients with rotator cuff tear at the anterior part were categorized in the anterior tear group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The rotator cuff tears were repaired under arthroscopy. A subacromial decompression was performed in all patients. Then the long head of the biceps with severe lesions were treated by tenotomy while the others were reserved according to the surgeon's judgment during the surgery.

Middle tear group

The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor. The patients with rotator cuff tear at the middle part were categorized in the middle tear group.
