Abstract:[Objective] To compare the clinical efficacy of modified Mason-Allen (MA) single row versus suture bridge techniques inarthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear. [Methods] Clinical data of 65 patients with rotator cuff tear admitted from January 2020 to Decem-ber 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of doctor-patient communication, 33 patients underwent modified Mason-Allen single row suture under arthroscopy (the MA group), while other 32 patients received the suture bridge (SB) (the SB group). The peri-operative period, follow-up and imaging indexes were compared between the two groups. [Results] There were no significant differences inoperation time, total incision length, intraoperative blood loss, active activity time and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). Withthe passage of time, the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while ghrelin was significantly increased (P<0.05). At any corresponding time points, there was no statistical significance in the above indexes between the two groups (P>0.05). Themean follow-up time was of (17.0±2.0) months. Compared with those preoperatively, both MA group and SB group had significant improve-ments at the last follow-up in terms of VAS score [(7.6±1.3), (0.8±0.3), P<0.001; (8.0±1.0), (0.7±0.2), P<0.001]. Compared with those 1month postoperatively, MA group and SB group had significantly improvements at the last follow-up in terms of UCLA score [(22.8±3.0),(32.0±1.7), P<0.001; (21.4±2.8), (32.8±2.0), P<0.001], Constant -Murley score [(62.2±5.8), (89.3±7.1), P<0.001; (63.6±6.2), (91.0±6.8),P<0.001] and ASES score [(50.0±3.5), (93.2±3.8), P<0.001; (51.7±4.2), (95.0±3.5), P<0.001], as well as forward flexion / lifting ROM (P<0.05). However, there was no statistical significance in the above indexes between the two groups at any time points accordingly (P>0.05).Regarding to imaging, the acromiohumeral distance (AHD), tendon integrity and fat infiltration in both groups were gradually improved over time (P<0.05). At any corresponding time points, there were no significant differences in the above imaging indexes, the improvement de-gree of muscle atrophy and the incidence of re-fracture between the two groups (P>0.05). [Conclusion] The modified Mason-Allen singlerow technique under arthroscopy can achieve similar clinical results as suture bridge technique in the treatment of rotator cuff tear.
