ASSESSMENT OF HAND AND FINGERS COMPLICATIONS AFTER ARTHROSCOPIC SHOULDER ROTATOR CUFF TEAR REPAIR

Abstract
Rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a common surgical procedure with results considered acceptable. However, the arthroscopic technique, like any other surgical procedure, still has associated complications. Complications after RC surgery can be either general or specific. Recurrent rotator cuff tears, adhesive capsulitis and post-operative stiffness, suture anchor displacement, deltoid dehiscence, synovitis and iatrogenic acromial fracture, all have been mentioned in the literature. As a specific complication following an arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair, shoulder hand syndrome is a reflex neurovascular disorder that involves the shoulder and the hand. It is characterized by a peculiar combination of a painful shoulder disability and a unilateral pain, swelling, and limitation of movements of the hand and fingers. Numbness, edema, pain, and limitations of movement of the hand and fingers, all have been reported after rotator cuff repair, suggesting either cubital tunnel syndrome, tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or complex regional pain syndrome. Various possible explanations have been suggested for the nerve injuries that have occurred after arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair including joint distension, position, fluid extravasation, excessive traction, and manipulation.
