Overview

Retrospective study evaluates shoulder imaging parameters in rotator cuff tears versus controls, highlighting implications for diagnosis.

Key Points

  • The research aims to assess shoulder imaging parameters related to rotator cuff tears and compare them with controls.
  • Retrospective study of MRI images from 64 patients with rotator cuff tears and 63 controls aged 20-80 years.
  • Measurements included critical shoulder angle, acromial index, and supraspinatus tendon thickness.
  • Binary logistic regression identified risk factors associated with rotator cuff tears.
  • Critical shoulder angle was significantly higher in the RCT group (36.18 ± 4.0) compared to controls (32.61 ± 2.6, p < 0.001).
  • Coracohumeral distance, acromiohumeral distance, and supraspinatus tendon thickness were significantly lower in the RCT group.
  • SST thickness had the highest discriminatory performance (AUC = 0.963) for identifying RCT.
