Abstrakt: Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of arthroscopic subacromial balloon placement for massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT), assessing patient satisfaction, outcomes, shoulder functionality, pain scores, and revision-free survivorship up to 8 years after the initial surgery.
Methods: In this retrospective study with prospective data collection, patients with MRCTs undergoing balloon placement from 2014 to 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Their outcomes were analyzed retrospectively over a minimum 5-year follow-up. Demographics, patient satisfaction, reoperations, and complications were documented. Minimal clinically important differences were calculated for 12-Item Short Form Health Survey scores and Constant-Murley score subscores. Pre- and postsurgery measures statistically compared for anatomic and functional evaluations.
Results: In a study with 61 participants initially, 10 were lost to follow-up over 3 years. Of the remaining 51, 9 were lost at the latest follow-up. The cohort (42 participants, mean age 63.17 ± 7.66 years) was monitored for 83.98 ± 9.50 months. Seven participants required revisions within 2 years, resulting in an 83.33% revision-free survival rate. Significant improvements were observed from preoperative to latest follow-up: acromiohumeral interval decreased (7.83 to 6.56, P = .004), critical shoulder angle increased (36.10 to 38.24, P = .001), osteoarthritis grade increased (1.45 to 2.81, P = .001), 12-Item Short Form Health Survey physical score improved (27.40 to 37.69, P = .001), and Constant-Murley total scores increased (26.50 to 68.69, P = .001). Minimal clinically important difference for total Constant-Murley scores was 11.78 points. Among those without revisions, satisfaction rates were 11.43% excellent, 57.14% satisfied, and 31.43% dissatisfied.
Conclusions: Employing a balloon spacer for MRCTs yielded moderate satisfaction at the 5-year follow-up, with stable revision rates within the first 2 years. Notably, low revision surgery rates, high revision-free survival, and significant shoulder functionality improvements were observed at a minimum 5-year follow-up with arthroscopic subacromial balloon placement in conjunction with biceps tenotomy and subacromial bursectomy for MRCT.
