Investigators recorded the location, area of the tear and anterior band, and noted the supraspinatus status. Average time between preoperative MRI and rotator cuff repair was 107.3 days.

Recently published results showed that although diagnostic sensitivity of MRI was associated with subscapularis tear size, physical examination was independent of tear size.Researchers ...

The study provides new evidence that early surgery for supraspinatus tears can improve long-term outcomes by preventing later rotator cuff muscle degeneration.

Sensitivity on conventional MRI for anterior labral tears was 83%; for posterior labral tears was 84%; for SLAP tears was 83%; for supraspinatus tendon tears was 92%; and for partial-thickness ...

The study provides new evidence that early surgery for supraspinatus tears can improve long-term outcomes by preventing later rotator cuff muscle degeneration.

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 (< 5 cm) full-thickness rotator ...

Conclusions: Supraspinatus tendinosis can be accurately identified on MRI with little variation by a single well-trained observer. Interobserver reliability was only fair to good. Our data indicated ...
