Outcomes After Double-Layer Repair Versus En Masse Repair for Delaminated Rotator Cuff Injury : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

© The Author(s) 2023..

Background: Delamination of rotator cuff tears during arthroscopic shoulder surgery has an incidence of 38% to 92%. Double-layer (DL) repair and en masse (EM) repair are most commonly used in this situation.

Purpose: To compare the clinical results of the DL versus EM repair techniques for delaminated rotator cuff tears using a meta-analysis.

Study Design: Systematic review; level of evidence, 3.

Methods: We identified relevant studies comparing the clinical results of DL and EM repair for delaminated rotator cuff injuries in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases after the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The primary outcomes were the Constant score and retear rate. Additionally, we compared other postoperative shoulder functional scores, shoulder range of motion, and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores between the 2 suture methods using a meta-analysis. The mean difference (MD) was compared for continuous outcomes, and the odds ratios (ORs) were compared for categorical outcomes.

Results: Of the 197 studies initially identified, 6 studies were included in this analysis. There were significant differences in the Constant score (MD, 8.64 [95% CI, 4.47 to 12.8]; P < .05) and external rotation (MD, 5.10 [95% CI, 2.63 to 7.56]; P < .05) between the 2 techniques, with DL repair having superior outcomes. No significant differences were observed between the 2 techniques in forward flexion (MD, 0.62 [95% CI, -1.18 to 2.43]; P = .50), VAS pain (MD, -0.03 [95% CI, -0.34 to 0.27]; P = .84), or retear rate (OR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.37 to 1.41]; P = .35).

Conclusion: Results of this review and meta-analysis suggest that DL repair was more beneficial than EM repair in terms of the Constant score and shoulder external rotation in patients with delaminated rotator cuff injuries.
