Predictive value of bone metabolism disease examination and changes in proximal humeral bone density for intraoperative anchor loosening in patients

BACKGROUND: With the intensification of population ageing, the incidence of bone metabolism-related diseases such as osteoporosis has significantly increased, becoming an important factor affecting the quality of life of the elderly. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 patients with rotator cuff tear (RCT) were selected as the research subjects. There were 65 male patients and 55 female patients. The aim of this study was to explore the predictive value of bone metabolism disease examinations and changes in proximal humeral bone density for intraoperative anchor loosening. The predictive value of proximal humeral bone density for intraoperative anchor loosening was analysed using the ROC curve. RESULTS: The increase in age and the decrease in bone density are closely related to risk of intraoperative anchor loosening. CONCLUSION: The combination of bone metabolism disease examinations and proximal humeral bone density detection can provide important basis for clinical preoperative prediction of anchor loosening risk and formulation of individualised treatment plans.
