Arthroscopic Single-Row Versus Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair: A Meta-analysis of the Randomized Clinical Trials
Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

OE Journal. 2013;1(3):57 Arthroscopy. 2013 Feb;29(2):343-8. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2012.11.019Five studies (author assessed Level of Evidence I) were included in this analysis which investigated the difference in clinical outcomes between single-row and double-row rotator cuff repair. A total of 349 patients were included in the 5 studies, and clinical outcomes were assessed through American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant Shoulder, and UCLA scores. The results at a minimum of 12 months indicated that there were no significant differences between the two techniques in any of the three outcome assessments.
Were the search methods used to find evidence (original research) on the primary question or questions stated?
Was the search for evidence reasonably comprehensive?
Were the criteria used for deciding which studies to include in the overview reported?
Was the bias in the selection of studies avoided?
Were the criteria used for assessing the validity of the included studies reported?
Was the validity of all of the studies referred to in the text assessed with use of appropriate criteria (either in selecting the studies for inclusion or in analyzing the studies that were cited)?
Were the methods used to combine the findings of the relevant studies (to reach a conclusion) reported?
Were the findings of the relevant studies combined appropriately relative to the primary question that the overview addresses?
Were the conclusions made by the author or authors supported by the data and or analysis reported in the overview?

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
Suture anchor configuration in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has important implications in the overall success of the surgery. While the double-row anchor technique is reported to improve time-zero biomechanical strength, footprint contact pressure, and healing rate, it is also associated with longer operative time, increased cost, suppressed blood flow and is overall more technically difficult than the single-row suture anchor approach. The optimal suture anchor configuration remains debated; hence, this meta-analysis was designed to assess whether or not there were differences in clinical outcome between double-row and single-row rotator cuff repair.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
Which rotator cuff repair technique - double- or single-row - provided more favourable clinical outcomes?
Quais foram os resultados importantes?
- Pooled results of 3 studies reporting ASES scores found no significant differences between groups in preoperative score (Single vs. double: 42.5 vs. 43.2, p=0.357), postoperative score (86.6 vs. 86.1, p=0.484), and preoperative-to-postoperative improvement (44.0 vs. 42.8, p=0.324).
- Analysis of 4 studies that reported Constant score observed that groups did not significantly differ in pre-op score (Single vs. double: 58.5 vs. 61.2, p=0.247) post-op score (87.3 vs. 87.0, p=0.490), and pre-to-postoperative improvement (28.9 vs. 25.8, p=0.255).
- Preoperative score, postoperative score, and pre-to-postoperative improvement in UCLA score (3 studies) was not significantly different between patients treated with single-row vs. double-row technique (Pre-op = 13.9 vs. 13.7, p=0.660; Post-op = 30.3 vs. 30.9, p=0.301; Pre-to-post = 16.4 vs 17.1, p=0.178).
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
Neither the single-row nor the double-row technique was observed to provide patients with superior clinical outcome compared to the other when pooled results of ASES, Constant, and UCLA scores were analyzed.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
The results of the analysis suggest that similar clinical outcome can be attained by the use of either the single- or double-row rotator cuff repair. However, as this study only investigated clinical outcome, ongoing analysis of structural outcome is prudent. Additionally, an assessment of complication rates and a cost effectiveness analysis should be undertaken as well.
