| Popis: | Background Internal impingement of the shoulder (IIS) is the leading cause of chronic shoulder pain in overhead throwing athletes. No consensus exists about which techniques are optimal when surgery is in order. The available studies are limited by small sample sizes and short follow-ups. The primary objective of this study was to assess return-to-sports (RtS) outcomes after surgical treatment for IIS. A favourable RtS outcome (RtS +) was defined as returning to the previous sport at the same or a higher level. Hypothesis The main hypothesis was that surgical treatment resulted in an RtS + outcome. The secondary hypothesis was that epidemiological factors, pre- and intra-operative anatomical factors, and specific surgical procedures were associated with higher RtS + rates. Material and methods A retrospective multicentre design was used. We included 135 patients with IIS managed arthroscopically using any of the following procedures: anterior capsulorrhaphy, posterior capsulotomy/capsulectomy, postero-superior labral debridement, posterior glenoidplasty, and rotator cuff tear debridement or repair. Follow-up was at least 1 year. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had an RtS + outcome as defined above or an RtS − outcome defined as a return to the previous sport at a lower level, a switch to another sport, or an inability to engage in any sport. The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (KJOC) and Constant's score were used to evaluate subjective and objective shoulder function. Results Mean follow-up was 7.9 years. Of the 135 patients, 120 (90%) returned to sports after surgery including 70 (52%) to the previous sport at the same level (RtS + outcome). By univariate analysis, the following factors were associated with an RtS + outcome: male sex, rotator cuff tear documented intra-operatively, absence of a greater tuberosity cyst on pre-operative imaging studies, and cuff tear debridement. Anterior capsulorrhaphy was associated with worse post-operative pain. Discussion The RtS + rate in this study differed from previously reported values, due to differences in the sports practiced by the patients and to considerable variability in the surgical techniques used. The positive association between presence of a rotator cuff tear and an RtS + outcome is at variance with most of the previously published data. Some of the apparent discrepancies between our results and those from other countries may be ascribable to differences in the most popular sports. Level of evidence IV. |
