RESULTS OF SELECTIVE CAPSULOTOMY AND SUPRASPINATUS TENDON REPAIR IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES (RETROSPECTIVE STUDY)

The article describes selective capsulotomy for RC repair in DM patients with RC tendon ruptures. The results of surgery and post-op follow-up in 3 and 6 months after surgery for two groups of patients (the group who underwent arthroscopic selective capsulotomy of the shoulder joint and the group who did not undergo selective capsulotomy) are presented. The total size of sample of included patients was 110 participants. The function of the shoulder joint was evaluated using the Constant Shoulder Score and VAS Descriptive statistics methods were used to display the general characteristics of the initial parameters, indicating the average value and standard deviation. Patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent supraspinatus tendon suture and selective capsulotomy had better average functional results 3 months after surgery on the Constant Shoulder Score and VAS scale, and in 6 months patients who underwent selective capsulotomy reported better level f VAS pain syndrome.
