Progression of Fatty Muscle Degeneration in Atraumatic Rotator Cuff Tears.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this prospective study was to examine the progression of fatty muscle degeneration over time in asymptomatic shoulders with degenerative rotator cuff tears. METHODS Subjects with an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear in 1 shoulder and pain due to rotator cuff disease in the contralateral shoulder were enrolled in a prospective cohort. Subjects were followed annually with...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Atrophy and Fatty Infiltration after Massive Rotator Cuff Tears in a Novel Rat Model
INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are the most common tendon injury seen in orthopedic patients. Although small tears are amenable to arthroscopic repair, massive RCT repairs can result in re-tears and poor clinical outcomes. Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in rotator cuff muscles are major complications of chronic massive RCT and are thought to be among the factors responsible for t...
متن کاملSonography of Rotator Cuff Tears
OBJECTIVE. The management of patients with signs and symptoms referable to the rotator cuff depends on the presence of cuff injury and the size of the tear. Treatment options include conservative nonsurgical management for patients with an intact or partially tom cuff, arthroscopic decompression of the coracoacromlal space for those not responding to nonsurgical management, and a range of surgi...
متن کاملPartial-thickness rotator cuff tears.
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are not a single entity; rather, they represent a spectrum of disease states. Although often asymptomatic, they can be significantly disabling. Overhead throwing athletes with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears differ with respect to etiology, goals, and treatment from older, nonathlete patients with degenerative tears. Pathogenesis of degenerative partial...
متن کاملPartial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears
Although the incidence of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) was reported to be from 13% to 32% in cadaveric studies, the actual incidence is not yet known. The causes of PTRCTs can be explained by either extrinsic or intrinsic theories. Studies suggest that intrinsic degeneration within the rotator cuff is the principal factor in the pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears. Extrinsic cau...
