Accuracy of preoperative MRI in the diagnosis of subscapularis tears

Abstract

III, development of diagnostic criteria with universally applied reference-nonconsecutive patients.

Value of anterosuperior rotator cuff and labral tears at MRI for predicting long head of biceps tearing at arthroscopy

“…More recent study by Malavolta et al . reported accuracy of 82% more keeping with the present study [14]. Further large, prospective MRI–arthroscopy correlation studies with well-defined classification of SBT disease are warranted to assess the validity of performance data in the present study.…”

Effect of Subscapularis Tears on Functional Scores of Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Repair

“…Despite this fact, it was long neglected in the orthopedic literature, being named “forgotten tendon” 20 . Isolated subscapularis tears are rare, representing 1% of all tears 7 8 However, their presence associated with supraspinatus tear are observed in more than 50% of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs 9 …”

“…Among the tendons affected, the subscapularis tendon has received less attention in the orthopedic literature 6 . Around 1% of all rotator cuff tears affect isolatelly the subscapularis tendon, 7 , 8 while more than half of patients with supraspinatus tears also present associated subscapularis tears 9 10 …”

Subscapularis Injuries Associated with Acromiohumeral Instability in Patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

“…Also, medial subluxation of the LHBT could result in injury to the LT insertion portion of the SSC. Partial tear or pretear tendinosis of SSP SSP [1] Complete tear of SSP with torn cuff edge adjacent to greater tuberosity SSP [2] Complete tear of SSP with tendon retraction to lateral humeral head SSP [3] Complete tear of SSP with tendon retraction to medial humeral head SSP [4] Complete tear of SSP with tendon retraction to glenoid SSC [0] No injury of SSC SSC [1] Partial injuries of SSC SSC [2] Complete disruption of SSC SSC = subscapularis, SSP = supraspinatus …”
