Primary outcome
Long term results (minimum 10 years) of arthroscopic debridement of partial
rotator cuff ruptures as measured with the CMS.
Secondary outcome
n.a.
Background summary
A partial rotator cuff rupture is a common entity in shoulder pathology. The
nature of this lesion can be degenerative, traumatic or a combination thereof.
The patient complains of pain and dysfunction of the affected shoulder. A
non-operative treatment (e.g. physical therapy) is the initial choice of
treatment. In case this fails, surgical treatment can be considered. Short term
results of operative treatment are reported to be good. It is however not known
how patients fare on the long term. The purpose of this study is to evaluate
the long-term results of arthroscopic debridement of partial rotator cuff
ruptures performed in the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis.
Study objective
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long term results (minimum
of 10 years) of arthroscopic debridement of the rotator cuff in the treatment
of partial rotator cuff ruptures.
Study design
A physical examination (using CMS and flexion elbow test), a pain
questionnaire, and an ultrasound test of the rotator cuff will be performed at
the outpatient clinic. Patients will also be asked to fill out patient reported
outcome measures (WORC, DASH, EQ5D and a patient satisfaction questionnaire)
online at home.
