Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are controversies about the efficacy of all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair versus mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair versus mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury by conducting a meta-analysis.
METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CBM databases from January 1966 to November 2015 to screen the relevant articles using the key words of “rotator cuff, arthroscopy, mini-open”. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman5.3 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 11 studies, including 6 randomized controlled trials and 5 cohort studies, were selected. The meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the function and strength of the shoulder joint, pain, motor range, recurrence of rotator cuff avulsion, the incidence rate of ankylosis between both two groups (P > 0.05). These results suggest that the efficacy of all- arthroscopic rotator cuff repair does not differ from those of mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury. However, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair induces less soft tissue injury and early incision pain, but better function recovery.
