Full-thickness cuff tears were associated with the presence of an acromion spur, and a higher acromial index and critical shoulder angle. However, a higher acromial index and critical shoulder ...

Study results showed 23 patients had a full-thickness rotator cuff tear, with 21 tears involving the supraspinatus, eight involving the infraspinatus and seven involving the subscapularis.

Retear rates after arthroscopic repair of both partial-thickness and full-thickness rotator cuff tears are low, with no difference in the retear rate or postoperative shoulder stiffness rate for ...

A symptomatic partial tear or full-thickness rotator cuff tear will often require surgery to repair the damage.

Another important distinction is the difference between a full thickness tear and a partial thickness tear. When the rotator cuff tendon attaches to the bone, it attaches not at just one point but ...

Two MRI findings -- joint capsule edema and thickness at the axillary recess, specifically -- proved useful in predicting stiff shoulder in patients with small to large full-thickness rotator cuff ...

An acute, full-thickness tear in a person with an otherwise normal shoulder is usually treated with immediate surgery to prevent muscle atrophy and further joint degeneration. Full-thickness tears in ...

Full-thickness tears in a person with existing rotator cuff disease and who have new limitations in shoulder movement are also usually treated surgically.
