ACCELERATED FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER SUPRASPINATUS TENDON REPAIR USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE THERAPY: A CASE REPORT

Dr. Vasanth Raj Lakshman*, Dr. Tejas V.

ABSTRACT

The rotator cuff comprises the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis muscles.[1] The tendons
of these 4 muscles connect with the shoulder capsule when passing through the upper, back, and front of the
shoulder joint; they form a similar sleeve like structure around the shoulder joint, which plays an important role in
the shoulder joint’s stability.[2] Supraspinatus muscle tears are the most common rotator cuff injuries, with a
prevalence of 61.9% in men and 38.1% in women.[3] Depending on the patient cohort, failure rates of surgical
repair of rotator cuff tears have been reported between 25 and 90%.[4-5] Treatment options providing pain relief and
improvement of symptoms are not necessarily equivalent with healing of the damaged tissues. Symptoms may get
better over time, with still little or no healing response within the tendon. Discussions and evidence regarding nonoperative
treatment options that both provide relief of symptoms and promote healing at the cellular level is lacking
in the literature.[6] Recently, new technology named Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy—a specialized type of
Magnetic Resonance technology and a treatment method based on nuclear magnetic resonance—was created. The
active principle is focused upon the same ideas as diagnostic devices for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). So, in
the present study we will be evaluating the performance of the Magnetic Resonance Therapy in the Post Operative
Supraspinatus tear and improvement in the Range Of Motion (ROM).
