Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses acromion types' links to rotator cuff injury in young adults, suggesting early identification through MRI.

Key Points

  • Rotator cuff injuries are a common shoulder pathology affecting quality of life significantly.
  • The highest RCI prevalence was found in patients with Type II (70.5%) and Type III (100%) acromion morphologies.
  • Rotator cuff injury was documented in 58.3% of 132 patients undergoing shoulder MRI in a tertiary hospital.
  • Understanding acromial morphology may help identify Filipino patients at risk for rotator cuff injuries for early intervention.
