Diagnostic value of the axial view of magnetic resonance imaging to identify two-dimensional shapes of full-thickness rotator cuff tears

Abstract: Background Coronal and sagittal views of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to determine rotator cuff tear size and fatty infiltration, but these images were not enough to identify the tear shape. Purpose To correlate the preoperative axial MRI views and arthroscopic surgical findings to identify the two-dimensional shapes in rotator cuff tears. Material and Methods This study included 166 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair between 2015 and 2018. Preoperative coronal, sagittal, and axial MRI vi… Show more

“…Arthroscopically, the shape of full-thickness supraspinatus and infraspinatus tears are described as crescent shaped (when the anteroposterior length is longer than the mediolateral length), or U-or L-shaped (when the mediolateral length is longer than the anteroposterior length). 6,14 This feature, best appreciated on axial imaging, can be reported, although we do not tend to comment routinely on tear shape.…”

“…For noncomplete tears, irrespective of whether the tear is full or partial thickness, which part of the tendon is torn (e.g., whether the tear involves the superior, middle, or inferior fibers of the subscapularis tendon) should be described (►Figs. [3][4][5][6]. The dimensions of the tear, such as the anteroposterior and mediolateral dimensions of a supraspinatus tendon tear, should also be noted.…”
