Summary
Arthroscopiclly assisted radiofrequency to tread deltoid contracture is an effective surgical technique.?It is less pain, precision, safety and easy for early rehabilitation.
Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopiclly assisted radiofrequency to tread deltoid contracture.
Methods
A retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the results of arthroscopiclly assisted radiofrequency to tread deltoid contracture in nine patients (twelve shoulders) from 2011 to 2015 who had a contracture of the deltoid muscle. All patients had arthroscopic release. The abduction-contracture and horizontal-adduction angle was measured after operation. The average duration of follow-up was 20 months (from 3 to 51 months).
Result: The average postoperative abduction-contracture angle was 6° (0° to 10°). The preoperative horizontal-adduction contracture was corrected, angle was 130° (range, 110° to 140°). There was no complications was found in the cases.
Conclusions
Arthroscopiclly assisted radiofrequency to tread deltoid contracture is an effective surgical technique.?It is less pain, precision, safety and easy for early rehabilitation.
