Mots-clés :	Ultrasound  shoulder  cuff  arthroscopic  postoperative  Constant’s Shoulder Score  repair  asymptomatic
Résumé :	Objective: To establish whether ultrasonographic (US) appearance is correlated to functional outcome in asymptomatic patients 12 months after rotator cuff repair. Materials and methods: 26 asymptomatic patients at twelve months after arthroscopic cuff repair and 26 controls were retrospectively included. A clinical score (Constant’s Shoulder Score, CSS) was compared with a US score (the modified Sugaya Score, mSS). The minimal thickness of the anterior and posterior parts of the cuff was also measured. Results: CSS improved significantly from preoperatively to postoperatively (mean increased from 41 to 82.6, p <.001). Correlation between the postoperative CSS and the minimal thickness of the cuff at its anterior and posterior part (p = 0.55 and p = 0.13) was not significant. There was also no significant correlation between the postoperative CSS and mSS (p = 0.34). Conclusion: The sonographic appearance of the cuff repair is not correlated to the functional outcome at 12 months after arthroscopic surgery in asymptomatic patients.
