MRI of symptomatic and asymptomatic full-thickness rotator cuff tears
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Why some full-thickness rotator cuff tears are symptomatic and others are asymptomatic is not understood. By comparing MRI findings in symptomatic and asymptomatic tears, we wanted to identify any tear characteristics that differed between groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS 50 subjects with asymptomatic and 50 subjects with symptomatic full-thickness tears were examined by MR...
متن کاملSymptomatic Progression of Asymptomatic Rotator Cuff Tears
Methods: A cohort of 195 subjects with an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear was prospectively monitored for pain development and examined annually for changes in various parameters such as tear size, fatty degeneration of the rotator cuff muscle, glenohumeral kinematics, and shoulder function. Forty-four subjects were found to have developed new pain, and the parameters before and after pain devel...
متن کاملHigh incidence of acute full-thickness rotator cuff tears
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epidemiological studies of full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) have mainly investigated degenerative lesions. We estimated the population-based incidence of acute FTRCT using a new diagnostic model. PATIENTS AND METHODS During the period November 2010 through October 2012, we prospectively studied all patients aged 18-75 years with acute onset of pain after shoul...
متن کاملThe detection of full thickness rotator cuff tears using ultrasound.
We have examined the accuracy of 143 consecutive ultrasound scans of patients who subsequently underwent shoulder arthroscopy for rotator-cuff disease. All the scans and subsequent surgery were performed by an orthopaedic surgeon using a portable ultrasound scanner in a one-stop clinic. There were 78 full thickness tears which we confirmed by surgery or MRI. Three moderate-size tears were asses...
متن کاملQuantitative morphology of full thickness rotator cuff tears.
The occurrence of full thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) at time of death, the size and distribution of those tears among the tendons of the rotator cuff, and the anterior to posterior and medial to lateral dimensions of the RCTs were determined. A subset of 57 shoulders from a group of 414 were found to have full thickness rotator cuff tears. The three-dimensional coordinates of specific bon...
