撕裂傷開完刀,回的去原來的運動強度嗎?
請繼續往下閱讀
2016 年有一篇大型的統合分析 [11],納入 25 篇研究,包含 286 位職業或競技選手和 349 位休閒運動員,主要是棒球、網球和高爾夫球這三個項目。這些病人在旋轉肌袖撕裂傷後都接受了手術修補。結果有約 85% 在術後 4-17 個月後能夠回到運動場上,但只有約 66% 能回到原本一樣的強度。再進一步分析,休閒運動員有約八成能回到原本強度;反之職業或競技選手只有約五成能回到原本強度。
但從實際例子來看,幾位 NBA 球員在旋轉肌袖受傷接受手術後,似乎都有不錯的恢復。例如 2015 年的 Kobe Bryant 和 2016 年的 Anthony Davis,在術後的表現似乎都不再受肩傷所苦。 所以每個病人的狀況都不同,術後的復健運動也相當重要。

結語
旋轉肌袖撕裂傷的病患,都會面臨到底要不要開刀修補這個決定。這篇文章盡量整理了一些證據力較高的醫學研究,希望能讓不知所措的人找到最適合自己的治療方向。每個人的狀況都不同,應該要和醫師充分討論後再做決定。
此外,關於非手術治療,除了物理及運動治療之外,目前蓬勃發展中的再生注射(例如 PRP)是另一個更積極的選項,至於再生注射的細節,並非這篇文章的重點,就留待下回分解了。
