Abbasov S. Diagnosis and treatment of partial tears of the rotator cuff tendon

The dissertation is devoted to the improvement of treatment results of patients with partial tears of the rotator cuff tendons on the basis of the improvement of diagnostics and application of differentiated approach to treatment tactics, development of new and improvement of the existing methods of operative treatment. After analyzing the operative treatment data, it was found that the patients who had increased requirements for the shoulder joint required a tendon suture of the supraspinous and scapular muscles. Failure to follow the stage of surgical intervention leads to poor functional results of treatment and various complications during surgical intervention. Frequent tendon impingement of the Rotator Cuff tendon affects the impingement of the articular cartilage of the shoulder joint. Shoulder articular cartilage impingement depends on the term of partial impingement of the rotator cuff tendons (r=0.53; p<0.01). The results of surgical treatment of patients after partial rupture of the supraspinous tendon according to the Constant Shoulder Score in whom the shoulder joint was immobilized for 6 months were significantly better than in patients with 2-3 months of immobilization (р˃0,05). Early pressure on the shoulder joint after a partial tendon rupture is not always correct and rational.
