Abstract

RCT is a disease with a high prevalence in society, which can cause disability in old age. In this study, our aim was to investigate the results of mini-open surgery in patients with RCT referred to Imam Khomeini and Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz from 2018 to 2022. The present study is a cross-sectional study in which 40 patients with extensive rotator cuff tears were included in the study by census method. The rotator cuff tear was repaired with mini-open surgery, and using oss and occ questionnaires before, 6 and 12 months after the surgery, the shoulder function and the success of the surgery were checked. Also, the rate of re-rupture of the rotator cuff at 6 and 12 months after surgery was checked by MRI. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software. In this study, 52.5% of patients were female and 47.5% were male. The age group of 39 to 58 years had the highest frequency. The occupation of 32.5% of patients was worker. The average score of the OSS questionnaire before, 6 and 12 months after surgery was 17.3, 27.9 and 31.8, respectively, which had a significant difference (P < 0.05). After surgery, shoulder function was very good in 48% of patients and excellent in 44%. The retear rate one year after surgery was 12%. Shoulder surgery along with rotator cuff repair is very effective in people with tendon rupture, and after the surgery, performance is improved and pain is reduced‎.
