  • Arthroscopic Surgery versus supervised exercises in patients with rotator cuff disease stage ii impingement syndrome a prospective randomized controlled study in 125 patients with a 2 1 2 year follow up
    Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1999
    Co-Authors: Jens Ivar Brox, Anne Elisabeth Ljunggren, John Ivar Brevik, Erling Gjengedal, Gisle Uppheim, Audhild S Bohmer, P H Staff
    Abstract:

    The effectiveness of Arthroscopic Surgery, supervised exercises, and placebo was compared in 125 patients with rotator cuff disease (impingement syndrome stage II) in a randomized clinical trial. The median age was 48 years, and the median duration of complications was 1 to 2 years. The treatments were Arthroscopic subacromial decompression performed by 2 experienced surgeons, an exercise regimen supervised for 3 to 6 months by 1 experienced physiotherapist, or 12 sessions of detuned soft laser (placebo) for 6 weeks. The criterion for success was a Neer shoulder score >80. Fifteen (50%) and 11 (22%) of the patients randomized to placebo and exercises, respectively, had Surgery during the 212-year follow-up period and were classified as having failure with the treatments. The success rate was higher (P < .01) for patients randomized to Surgery (26 of 38) and exercises (27 of 44) compared with the placebo group (7 of 28). The odds ratio for success after Surgery compared with exercises was 1.5 (95% confidence interval 0.6 to 3.7; P = .49). Including all patients who underwent operation, the success rate in those not on sick leave (19 of 21) before Surgery was higher compared with those on sick leave (18 of 36) (adjusted odds ratio 5.6 [1.2 to 29.2]). Similar results were observed for patients not receiving versus those receiving regular pain medication before Surgery (adjusted odds ratio 4.2 [1.2 to 15.8]).

  • Arthroscopic Surgery compared with supervised exercises in patients with rotator cuff disease stage ii impingement syndrome
    BMJ, 1993
    Co-Authors: Jens Ivar Brox, P H Staff, Anne Elisabeth Ljunggren, John Ivar Brevik
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE--To compare the effectiveness of Arthroscopic Surgery, a supervised exercise regimen, and placebo soft laser treatment in patients with rotator cuff disease (stage II impingement syndrome). DESIGN--Randomised clinical trial. SETTING--Hospital departments of orthopaedics and of physical medicine and rehabilitation. PATIENTS--125 patients aged 18-66 who had had rotator cuff disease for at least three months and whose condition was resistant to treatment. INTERVENTIONS--Arthroscopic subacromial decompression performed by two experienced surgeons; exercise regimen over three to six months supervised by one experienced physiotherapist; or 12 sessions of detuned soft laser treatment over six weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Change in the overall Neer shoulder score (pain during previous week and blinded evaluation of function and range of movement by one clinician) after six months. RESULTS--No differences were found between the three groups in duration of sick leave and daily intake of analgesics. After six months the difference in improvement in overall Neer score between Surgery and supervised exercises was 4.0 (95% confidence interval -2 to 11) and 2.0 (-1.4 to 5.4) after adjustment for sex. The condition improved significantly compared with placebo in both groups given the active treatments. Treatment costs were higher for those given Surgery (720 pounds v 390 pounds). CONCLUSIONS--Surgery or a supervised exercise regimen significantly, and equally, improved rotator cuff disease compared with placebo.
