Why the study?
Certain distances and angles between the bones of the glenohumeral joint are important in shoulder pathologies, prompting the evaluation of nine radiological parameters related to the acromion and humerus.
Do specific anatomical angles of the shoulder correlate with rotator cuff syndrome?
Population
400 patients (210 with rotator cuff syndrome and 190 controls)
Comparison
Rotator cuff syndrome (n = 210) vs control group (n = 190)
Design
Retrospective study
Key result
Radiological parameters including glenoid-humeral head distance, total shoulder arthroplasty angle, RST, and greater tuberosity angle were significantly different in rotator cuff syndrome patients.

Shoulder angles associated with rotator cuff syndrome; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification, requiring prospective validation before clinical use.
Case-Control (n=400)
Do specific anatomical angles of the shoulder correlate with rotator cuff syndrome?
Specific anatomical angles of the shoulder, including GH, TSA, RST, and GTA, are significantly associated with rotator cuff syndrome.
Candan et al. (2023) conducted a case-control in Rotator cuff syndrome (n=400). Rotator cuff syndrome vs. Control group was evaluated on Radiological parameters related to acromion and humerus. Radiological parameters including glenoid-humeral head distance, total shoulder arthroplasty angle, RST, and greater tuberosity angle were significantly different in rotator cuff syndrome patients.
