Disclosure • Össur: supply of the abduction braces NVA Jaarcongres | F. Hollman | 4 april 2014
Introduction and purpose • Antirotation sling: adduction and endorotation • increased tension SST/IST • Abduction brace: abduction and neutral rotation • less tension SST/IST • Hypothesis:there will be less tension on the repaired tendons and thereby less pain with the abduction brace compared to the antirotation sling. • Jerosch J, et al. 1993 • Stiglitz Y, et al. 2011 NVA Jaarcongres | F. Hollman | 4 april 2014
Material and methods (1) • Randomized controlled trial. • N=40 (P= 0.05 (α), power 80%, dropout of 10%). • Consecutive patients. • Traumatic or degenerative full-thickness SST and/or IST tear on MRI. NVA Jaarcongres | F. Hollman | 4 april 2014
Material and methods (2) • Preoperative • MRI: fatty infiltration, atrophy, retraction, location • Peroperative • Thomazeau (saggital/coronal); Bateman; tension • Follow-up • 6 weeks immobilization • Pain: patient diary 12 weeks • Function: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months • Constant score, GH-ROM, WORC, QOL, level of satisfaction • Ultrasound at 3 months NVA Jaarcongres | F.
