Abstract

Objective: Evaluation the result of rehabilitation of shoulder joint after rotator cuff repair at the Xanh Pon hospital. Method: 30 patients after rotator cuff repair with “Mason-Allen modify” technique have been rehabilitated actively since first day after surgery. Review from first, third and sixth months after the rehabititation by UCLA (the University of California - Los Angeles Shoulder Score) evaluation scale. Results: The recovery rate was improved with statistically significant differences between the assessments. The final results after 6 months, according to UCLA, there are 86,6% patients felt their shoulder joints was functioning normally and almost normally. There are 13,3% with average results with normal range of shoulder joint motion, no signs of swelling or joint effusion when moving, only mild pain when exercising strongly; no patients with poor results; 100% of patients are satisfied with the treatment results. Conclusion: The rehabilitation method proposed and applied by the research team has brought good results for the patients.
