Objective: to evaluate clinal and functional results from patients with rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic procedure without acromioplasty.
Methods: Retrospective study with prospective data collection in patients surgically treated with arthroscopic procedure without acromioplasty, in a tertiary orthopedic hospital, due to rotator cuff injuries. The range of motion (ROM) of the operated shoulder was measured. Also, four instruments were utilized for functional evaluation: Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) Index, Elbow Society (ASES) Shoulder Index, Simple Shoulder Text (SST) e Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measured pain in three distinct mements: at rest, during movimentation of the shoulder and during sleep.
Results: Clinical and functional results of 10 patients have been evaluated. The average score observed in VAS was 1.33 at rest, 3.33 at movement and 1.44 during sleep. In the functional evaluation, the average scores were 8.7 in SST, 80 in ASES and 74.44 in SSV. The results in ROM have shown good clinical evolution following the procedure.
Conclusion: patients with full thickness rotator cuff tears operated through videoarthroscopy without acromioplasty have shown good results in pain, function and range of motion evaluation following the procedure.
