Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic retention of biceps tendon fixation and transposition for treatment of giant rotator cuff tears. Methods From January 2014 to May 2017, 39 patients of giant rotator cuff tears treated with arthroscopic tenodesis with biceps tendon fixation and transposition were involved in this study. Constant-Murley shoulder score and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale were assessed in pre-operation and 3, 6 months after operation. Results All patients successfully received surgical intervention. Constant-Murley shoulder score was increased significantly 6 months post-surgery when compared with that prior to surgical operation [(72.02 ± 6.38) vS (28.07 ± 7.48), P < 0.05]. UCLA shoulder scale was enhanced obviously 6 months post-surgery when compared with that prior to surgical operation [(30.5 ± 2.4) vS (17.8 ± 2.6), P < 0.05]. No recurrence of pain was founded after operation. Conclusions Arthroscopic retention of biceps tendon fixation and transposition could achieve a satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of giant rotator cuff tears.
