Overview

Retrospective analysis shows correlations between acromial morphology and calcific deposits in rotator cuff tendinitis, suggesting diagnostic refinements.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the relationship between acromial morphology and calcific deposit characteristics in rotator cuff calcific tendinitis.
  • Retrospective analysis of 904 patients with shoulder radiography from January 2015 to January 2025
  • Assessment of acromial morphology using acromion index, critical shoulder angle, lateral acromial angle, and acromiohumeral interval
  • Non-parametric statistical tests applied for significance with p < 0.05
  • Mean deposit diameter was 13.29 mm
  • Significant correlations found between deposit size and critical shoulder angle, and acromiohumeral interval
  • Types of calcific deposits classified by Gartner–Heyer system showed correlation with acromial index
