Abstract
- Partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) tears are common. However, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical technique for the management of grade 3 tears (>50%). The authors report a retrospective consecutive case series of 64 patients with grade 3 PASTA lesions. The patients were treated by 2 surgeons from 2 centers with the same transtendon repair technique and implant system. The preoperative Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) was compared with the postoperative OSS at final follow-up (mean, 28 months). Significant improvement in mean OSS occurred from 19.2 (SD, 7.5) preoperatively to 39.8 (SD, 7.8) postoperatively (P=.0001), and patient satisfaction rates were high (88%). The authors believe that transtendon repair of PASTA lesions of 50% or more is beneficial. High-quality randomized controlled trials are required to compare the benefit of repair vs debridement alone. [Orthopedics. 2020;43(6):e533-e537.].<br /> (Copyright 2020, SLACK Incorporated.)
