Subscapularis tenotomy versus lesser tuberosity osteotomy during total shoulder arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis: a prospective, randomized controlled trial

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

60 patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and scheduled for a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) were randomized to receive sub-scapularis repair via a sub-scapularis tenotomy (ST) or a lesser tuberosity osteotomy (LTO). Outcomes of interest included range of motion and strength measurements on forward elevation, internal rotation and external rotation, pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Simple Shoulder Test (SST), the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Follow up was performed up to 1 year post-operation. Results revealed no significant differences between the LTO and ST groups in range of motion or strength om forward elevation, internal rotation, or external rotation, as well as no significant differences in VAS pain scores, ASES scores and SF-36 scores. At 3 months, SST score was significantly higher in the LTO group compared to the ST group, however at 1 year no significant difference in SST score was observed between the two groups. Additionally, mean case duration and the time for sub-scapularis repair was significantly longer in the LTO group compared to the ST group. No cases of component loosening or instability were reported in either group.
