Purpose:This study evaluated the differences in associated shoulder lesions on complete rotator cuff tear patients regarding ages and gender.
Materials and Method :Between June 2003 and March 2006, 109 patients (59 males, 50 females) who received arthroscopic shoulder surgery for their complete rotator cuff tear were selected and their associated shoulder lesions were analyzed. Ages were between 24 years, the youngest, and 75 years, the oldest. Groups by age were under 59 years group and over 60 years group, and associated lesions of patients to be analyzed were Acromioclavicular arthritis, SLAP(shoulder labrum anterior and posterior) lesion, and biceps tendinitis, and statistic analysis were performed by Khai-square method.
Results:For acromioclavicular joint arthritis, over 60 years old group showed higher association rate compared to under 59 years young group, and for SLAP lesions, under 59 years young group showed higher association rate compared to over 60 years old group only in men.
Conclusions:For diagnosis and treatment of complete rotator cuff tear patient, associated shoulder lesions in different ages should be considered, especially associations of SLAP lesions in young male patients, and acromioclavicular joint arthritis in old age patients should be verified.
