Ashish Kailash Sharma

Background:The most frequently reported issue among patients with a rotator cuff tear is shoulder pain. The development of progressive and degenerative changes plays a crucial role in the origin and progression of rotator cuff injuries. These degenerative alterations become more pronounced as individuals age, emerging as a significant factor in the occurrence of rotator cuff injuries, particularly among the elderly population.Methods:A cross-sectional study spanning one year was undertaken for the current research. The study cohort consisted of 100 patients undergoing open rotator cuff repair surgery, all of whom presented with either partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears.Results:The study involved 100 participants with an average age of 46 years, comprising 52% male (n=52) and 48% female (n=48) patients. Regarding the side and severity of rotator cuff tear, 62% (n=62) exhibited right-sided rotator cuff tears. Within this group, 61.3% (n=38) had complete tears, while 38.7% (n=24) had partial tears on the right side. Additionally, 38% (n=38) of the participants presented with left-sided rotator cuff tears, with 52.6% (n=20) having complete tears and 47.4% (n=9) experiencing partial tears on the left side.Conclusion:In conclusion, a substantial majority of the study participants with rotator cuff tears exhibited a significant increase in the Constant Murley score after six months of treatment through open rotator cuff repair, with statistically significant results.
