Questionnaire on night pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair -review of questionnaire, patients' backgrounds and operative notes-

Abstract

[Purpose] A questionnaire on night pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair was carried out to review patients' backgrounds and operative notes. [Subjects and Method] We surveyed 21 patients who had an operation and stayed at our hospital for more than 3 weeks. We divided them into 4 groups. Patients' background and operative notes were reviewed in each group. [Result] There was a significant difference between each group in the degree of pain at 2 weeks after the operation. There were no other significant differences. [Conclusion] Factors affecting pain in the night were not clear, but there is a possibility that it is useful to sit up as position adjustment.
