The purpose of this study was to determine the complication rate of arthroscopic revision rotator cuff repair (ARRCR).
The retrospective review included 94 patients who underwent ARRCR performed by the 2 senior authors between January 2000 and June 2009 (mean age, 52 years; age range, 44 to 72 years). Sixty-four patients underwent 1 revision rotator cuff repair, 23 patients underwent 2 revisions, and 7 patients underwent 3 or more revisions. The rotator cuff tear at the time of the revision was characterized as massive (>5 cm) in 51 patients (54%), large (>3 to 5 cm) in 14 patients (15%), medium (1 to 3 cm) in 17 patients (18%), and small (<1 cm) in 12 patients (13%). There was a single-tendon tear in 12 patients (13%), 2 tears in 31 patients (33%), and 3 or 4 tears in 51 patients (54%). Additional procedures included revision acromioplasty (n = 66), distal clavicular excision (n = 19), biceps tenodesis (n = 52), suprascapular nerve release (n = 14), and loose anchor removal (n = 6).
Complications developed in 19 patients (20.2%) within 1 year of undergoing ARRCR. The complications included failure to heal (10.6%, n = 10), stiffness (7.4%, n = 7), infection (2.1%, n = 2), and nerve injury (1.1%, n = 1). A direct correlation was found between the complication rate and the number of revision surgeries: 14% after 1 revision, 17.4% after 2 revisions, 33% after 3 revisions, and 50% after 4 or more revisions. The minimum follow-up of all the patients in this study was 1 year. We continued to follow up every patient who was diagnosed with complications during this year until resolution of the complication, or we are still continuing to perform follow-up of these patients.
The complication rate after ARRCR is about twice the published rate for primary rotator cuff repair. There is a direct correlation between the complication rate and the number of revision surgeries. The most common complication recognized was failure to heal because of poor tissue quality.

本研究旨在确定关节镜下修复肩袖撕裂(ARRCR)的并发症发生率。
本回顾性研究纳入了 2000 年 1 月至 2009 年 6 月期间由 2 位资深作者实施的 94 例 ARRCR 患者(平均年龄 52 岁;年龄范围 44 岁至 72 岁)。64 例患者接受了 1 次修复,23 例患者接受了 2 次修复,7 例患者接受了 3 次或更多次修复。修复时肩袖撕裂的特征为巨大撕裂(>5cm)51 例(54%)、大撕裂(35cm)14 例(15%)、中撕裂(13cm)17 例(18%)和小撕裂(<1cm)12 例(13%)。12 例(13%)为单根肌腱撕裂,31 例(33%)为 2 根肌腱撕裂,51 例(54%)为 3 根或 4 根肌腱撕裂。其他手术包括翻修肩峰成形术(n=66)、锁骨远端切除术(n=19)、肱二头肌肌腱固定术(n=52)、肩胛上神经松解术(n=14)和松动锚钉取出术(n=6)。
ARRCR 后 1 年内有 19 例(20.2%)患者出现并发症。并发症包括愈合失败(10.6%,n=10)、僵硬(7.4%,n=7)、感染(2.1%,n=2)和神经损伤(1.1%,n=1)。并发症发生率与翻修手术次数呈直接相关:1 次翻修后为 14%,2 次翻修后为 17.4%,3 次翻修后为 33%,4 次或更多次翻修后为 50%。本研究所有患者的最低随访时间为 1 年。我们继续对这一年内诊断为并发症的每位患者进行随访,直到并发症得到解决,或者我们仍在对这些患者进行随访。
ARRCR 后的并发症发生率约为初次肩袖修复的两倍。并发症发生率与翻修手术次数呈直接相关。最常见的并发症是由于组织质量差导致愈合失败。
