Rotator Cuff Tears
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of synovectomy on clinical outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Interventions
OTHERArthroscopic rotator cuff repair without synovectomy
30 subjects will undergo conventional arthroscopic rotator cuff repair without synovectomy.
OTHERArthroscopic rotator cuff repair with synovectomy
30 subjects will undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with synovectomy. Synovectomy is an operation performed to remove inflamed synovial membrane of a joint. Arthroscopic synovectomy will be performed with the use of a shaver and a cautery device through the portals for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Inclusion criteria
\- Patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Exclusion criteria
* History of shoulder surgery * Acute trauma on affected shoulder * Chronic dislocation * Pyogenic infection * Rotator cuff arthropathy with glenohumeral osteoarthritis and superior migration of the humeral head * Isolated subscapularis tear * Psychiatric problems that precluded informed consent * An inability to read or write * Other serious issues that precluded participation in the study * Open surgery * Rotator cuff tear with worker's compensation claim * Refuse to participate in the study * LOM that need brisement force * Partial-thickness tear with focal full-thickness extension * Irrepairable rotator cuff tear * Subjects who, for any reason, are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate for this study, including a subject who had other severe medical condition or laboratory abnormality, or who is unable to communicate or to cooperate with the investigator
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The worst pain VAS(visual analogue scale) | at 3 months after surgery | A 10-cm scale marked from ''no pain''(0) to ''unbearable pain''(10) was used. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Constant-Murley score | at 3 months after surgery | The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale composed of pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion: forward elevation, external rotation, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder (40 points). The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function. |
| The average pain VAS(visual analogue scale) | at 3 months after surgery | The average pain VAS(visual analogue scale) is the mean of the pain VAS at rest, at night, and with movement. |
