Abstract
The effectiveness of the developed approaches to the conservative treatment of traumatic injuries of the rotatory-bicepital complex is assessed. The long-term results of conservative treatment of 29 patients for the period from 2004 to 2017 and treated in the Mogilyov regional hospital and the SCTC of the 6th Minsk city clinical hospital were studied. The conservative treatment indications were considered to be the cases with traumatic partial local or extensive injuries of the rotator-bicepital complex in the presence of clinical manifestations in the form of pain syndrome and limitation of limb movements and in the absence of a decrease in limb strength in the sectoral testing of elements. The proposed tactical approaches implied immobilization, physiotherapy, local injection therapy.The developed conservative approaches to treating patients with damage to the rotary element of RBC allowed one to achieve a favorable outcome in the absolute majority of cases with long periods of patient follow-up, which improved the performance evaluation indicators according to the Oxford questionnaire for Me shoulder from 56 [48–58] to 12 [12–32] (Me [Q25–Q75]). The applied conservative approaches to treating patients with damage to the rotary element of RBC are a promising way to improve the clinical treatment results of patients with partial injuries of the rotator-bicepital complex.
