Surgical treatment of lesions of the long head of the biceps brachii tendon with rotator cuff tear: a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the clinical results of tenotomy and tenodesis

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。

137 patients with lesions in the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) and small- to medium-sized rotator cuff tears were randomized to undergo either tenotomy or tenodesis. The purpose of the study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between the two treatments. Outcomes included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score, simple shoulder test, visual analogue scale pain scores, range of motion, cosmetic changes, elbow motor power, and magnetic resonance imaging, measured to a minimum of 12 months postoperatively. Findings indicated no significant differences between treatment groups for range of motion, or pain and functional scores. Elbow motor power in supination was significantly greater in the tenodesis group compared to the tenotomy group, but flexion and pronation were similar. Additionally, the tenodesis group had a lower incidence of Popeye deformity compared to the tenotomy group (5.6% vs. 19.6%).
