Este estudio ha sido identificado como potencialmente de alto impacto.
La métrica de alto impacto de OE, impulsada por la IA, estima la influencia que probablemente tendrá un artículo integrando señales tanto de la revista en la que se publica como del contenido científico del propio artículo.
Desarrollado mediante el procesamiento del lenguaje natural más avanzado, el modelo de Alto Impacto de OE predice con mayor precisión el futuro rendimiento de las citas de un estudio que el factor de impacto de la revista por sí solo.
Esto permite reconocer antes las investigaciones clínicamente significativas y ayuda a los lectores a centrarse en los artículos con más probabilidades de configurar la práctica futura.

Dr. P.J. Millett discusses the rate of re-tears in single- as compared to double-row rotator cuff repair
7 level I randomized controlled trials comparing single- and double-row rotator cuff repair were included in this meta-analysis. The purpose of this review was to compare the clinical and structural outcomes associated with each treatment approach. Pooled data revealed that single- and double-row anchoring techniques yielded similar American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), and Constant scores. Although there were no significant differences between groups with regard to the incidence of full-thickness re-tears, the number of partial-thickness re-tears was significantly higher after single-row repair.

El Índice de Fragilidad es una herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación de hallazgos significativos, proporcionando una medida de fuerza para un resultado. El Índice de Fragilidad representa el número de eventos consecutivos que es necesario añadir a un resultado dicotómico para que el hallazgo deje de ser significativo. Un número pequeño representa un hallazgo más débil y un número grande un hallazgo más fuerte.
¿Por qué se necesitaba ahora este estudio?
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can be performed using single- or double-row techniques. Biomechanical studies have found double-row repair to be superior, however conflicting evidence exists regarding the superiority of one technique over the other with respect to clinical and structural outcomes. As previous reviews have included Level II or III evidence, this study was needed to summarize only the evidence of the highest quality (i.e. level I evidence) on this topic.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
Is there any significant difference in clinical outcome or the incidence of re-tear between single- and double-row techniques in rotator cuff repair?.
¿Cuáles fueron los hallazgos importantes?
- 7 randomized controlled trials (all Level I evidence) were included in this review. (Total patients=567; 285 single-row group and 282 double-row group)
- 3 studies reported the improvement between preoperative and postoperative ASES scores. Pooled data revealed no significant difference between single- and double-row repair for this outcome (WMD -2.1; 95% CI -7.3 to 3.2; p=0.440; I-squared: 0%).
- There was no significant difference between groups with respect to improvement in UCLA scores (3 studies; WMD 1.1; 95% CI -0.3 to 2.5; p=0.116; I-squared: 29%).
- Improvement in Constant scores was pooled in 3 studies. Meta-analysis of this outcome revealed no significant difference between groups for this outcome (WMD -3.7; 95% CI -8.8 to 1.4; p=0.156; I-squared: 0%).
- When all re-tears were considered (i.e. both full- and partial-thickness), the incidence was significantly higher with single-row repair (6 studies; RR 1.76; 95% CI 1.25 to 2.48; p=0.001; I-squared: 0%).
- The incidence of full-thickness re-tears was similar between single- and double-row repair (3 studies; RR 1.03; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.33; p=0.953; I-squared: 0%).
- The incidence of partial-thickness re-tears was significantly higher with single-row repair (3 studies; RR 1.99; 95% CI 1.04 to 3.82; p=0.039; I-squared: 41%).
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using single- and double-row anchoring techniques yielded similar American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), and Constant scores. Although there was no significant difference between groups in the incidence of full-thickness re-tears, the number of partial-thickness re-tears was significantly higher with single-row repair. When both types of re-tears were considered (i.e. full- and partial-thickness), results significantly favoured double-row repair.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
The results from this meta-analysis support the use of double-row rotator cuff repair as clinical outcomes were similar and re-tear rates were significantly lower (especially partial-thickness re-tears) when compared to single-row repair. However, additional high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.
