The low incidence of suprascapular nerve injury after primary repair of massive rotator cuff tears.

Abstract:

:We measured the incidence of cuff retear and injury to the suprascapular nerve after mobilization and repair of a massive rotator cuff tear. Of one hundred four rotator cuff repairs performed over a 5-year period, 10 patients (7 men and 3 women, age range 22 to 68 years) had primary repairs of massive rotator cuff tears requiring cuff mobilization and an acromioplasty as their only procedure. These patients were evaluated at a mean of 2.5 years (range 2.0 to 3.0 years) after surgery. At follow-up electromyographic examination confirmed that 1 of the 10 patients had an iatrogenic suprascapular nerve injury, whereas ultrasound evaluation revealed that 2 of 10 repairs failed. Pain relief was achieved in the eight patients with intact repairs and not in the two with recurrent tears. All patients had some limitation of active motion or strength, especially in external rotation. Thus 7 of 10 patients had neither evidence of nerve injury nor recurrent rotator cuff tears yet still showed limited active motion or weakness. It appears that operative injury to the suprascapular nerve during cuff mobilization can occur, but other factors such as inadequate cuff muscle function are more frequently responsible for the poor functional outcomes seen after successful repairs of massive rotator cuff tears.
