ABSTRACT: Objectives
Post-operative stiffness is common after rotator cuff repair, given the difference in susceptibility and severity, the genetic factors may be involved. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Matrix metalloproteinases 3 (MMP-3) were previous found as key cytokines in the pathologies of adhesive capsulitis. The present study aims to investigate whether variants within the IL-6 and MMP-3 gene contributed to post-operative stiffness in a Chinese Han population.Methods
A total of 188 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff tears treated with mini-open surgery were enrolled in this study, among which 87 patients were diagnosed as post-operative stiffness and the remaining 101 patients as controls. All subjects were genotyped for IL-6 and MMP-3 SNPs.Results
The rs1800796 of IL-6 and rs679620 of MMP-3 were found significantly associated with increased susceptibility and severity of post-operative stiffness.Conclusion
The rs1800796 SNP of IL-6 and rs650108 SNP of MMP-3 were associated with increased risk of post-operative stiffness susceptibility and severity. This finding can be used in guiding the rehabilitation procedure after rotator cuff surgery, in another word, those with the genetic susceptibility factors should receive a more radical rehabilitation procedure and those without the susceptibility factors can be more conservative.
