Abstract EN
Rotator cuff tears in young overhead sports athletes are rare.
The pathomechanism causing rotator cuff tears in young overhead athletes is different from that in aged patients.
The purpose of this study was to investigate rotator cuff tear characteristics in young overhead sports athletes to reveal the pathomechanism causing these injuries.
This study included 25 overhead sports athletes less than 30 years old with atraumatic rotator cuff tears necessitating repair.
Rotator cuff tear characteristics were evaluated intraoperatively, including rotator cuff tear shape and injured rotator cuff tendon.
Clinical outcome measures were assessed before surgery and at the final follow-up.
In this study, 22 patients reported minimal to no shoulder pain and returned to sports without significant complaints at last follow-up.
The isolated infraspinatus tendon was most often injured; the incidence rate of the tear at this site was 32% (8 cases).
In the deceleration phase of overhead motion, the eccentric contraction force of the ISP (infraspinatus) tendon peaks and the increased load leads to injury at the ISP tendon.
The pathomechanism of rotator cuff injuries in young overhead athletes might be not only internal or subacromial impingement, but also these mechanisms.
