Resumen:
INTRODUCTION: One of the most frequently treated pathologies in our
department are tendon lesions that affect the rotator cuff of the
shoulder. There are different types of treatment for massive or
irreparable tears. For a few years, a low-invasive technique was
introduced based on the placement of a biodegradable subacromial spacer.
The objective of the work is to analyse the results of our experience
with the use of this device (InSpace).
MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study collects the results obtained in 25
patients with irreparable ruptures of rotator cuff defined by RM, in
which they were implanted a balloon subacromial in our centre in the
period from January 2015 - until December 2017. All patients were
evaluated preoperatively and one year after surgery including the visual
analogue scale (VAS), the Constant test (CS) and the QuickDASH (QD).
RESULTS: Of the 25 patients, 5 patients (20%) were operated by
arthroscopy and 20 (80%) By open approach (mini-open). A total of 22
patients completed the follow-up year. At 12 months, 64% of the patients
obtained an improvement of at least 10 points in the CS. Patients
departed from an initial average CS of 32 points that improved to 54.9
points of average in the postoperative evaluation at 12 months (average
improvement 22.9 points; value-p?
