Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography compared to MRI and clinical examinations for partial subscapularis tears.
Dynamic ultrasonography was conducted alongside clinical tests for diagnosis.
MRI was performed on patients suspected of having partial subscapularis tears.
Results were confirmed arthroscopically to ensure accurate diagnosis.
Ultrasonography demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy than MRI for detecting partial subscapularis tears.
The combination of structured clinical tests and ultrasonography provided superior results over MRI alone.

Comparison of diagnostic methods reveals ultrasonography's superiority for partial subscapularis tears, suggesting enhanced accuracy for diagnosis.

Dynamic USG and structured SSC-specific clinical test combinations offer superior diagnostic accuracy compared with MRI for partial SSC tears.
