Résumé
Objective:To study the influencing factors for shoulder stiffness after rotator cuff tear.Methods:The data of 228 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been diagnosed with rotator cuff tear by arthroscopic surgery at Department of Articular Surgery, Hospital Affiliated to Chengde Medical College from June 2019 to May 2021. Their baseline data were recorded immediately after admission, including possible risk factors for shoulder stiffness. The patients were divided into a stiffness group and a non-stiffness group based on passive range of motion of shoulder joint. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to find out the influencing factors for shoulder stiffness after rotator cuff tear.Results:Preliminary univariate analysis showed that advanced age, smoking history, misdiagnosis history, no standardized physiotherapy history, high body mass index (BMI) and long duration of disease were all likely risk factors for shoulder stiffness in patients with rotator cuff tear ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that advanced age( OR=1.474, 95% CI: 1.013~2.145, P=0.043), smoking history( OR=2.239, 95% CI: 1.147~4.368, P=0.018), no standardized physiotherapy history( OR=0.167, 95% CI: 0.065~0.424, P<0.001), high BMI( OR=3.029, 95% CI: 1.657~5.536, P<0.001) and long duration of disease ( OR=1.775, 95% CI: 1.384~2.276, P<0.001) were the risk factors for shoulder stiffness. Conclusion:Age>60 years, smoking history, misdiagnosis history, no standardized physiotherapy history, high body mass index and long course of disease may be the important influencing factors for shoulder stiffness after rotator cuff tear.
