Summary

There are two purpose of this study, first is to find whether arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is changing the appearance of supraspinatus muscle atrophy in each and every patient. Second, is to find how much approximate change one can expect depending on age and tendon retraction

Detailed description

Retrospective review of 209 patients having both preoperative and immediate postoperative MRI done. Both preoperative and immediate postoperative occupancy ratio calculated and from that change in occupancy ratio calculated for each and every patient. Patient were divided in two major group according to age that is \<60 years and \>60 years and 3 subgroups of mild, moderate and severe depending on preoperative supraspinatus tendon retraction on coronal view of MRI. Postoperative occupation ratio was compared with preoperative occupation ratio within the subgroups and change in occupation ratio was used for comparison between the subgroup. Change in occupation ratio was also used for comparison between 2 major groups

Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Tear

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	arthroscopic rotator cuff repair	arthroscopic rotator cuff repair done in all patients to check whether, surgery itself changes the appearance of muscle atrophy in the supraspinatus in all patients irrespective of size of preoperative tendon retraction
