“…CT and MRI allow the examiner to not only evaluate structural integrity of the cuff, but also look at biologic factors like fatty infiltration and muscle atrophy [8,14]. Ultrasound evaluation is a non-invasive alternative for evaluating structural integrity of the rotator cuff [13,20]. It has been proven to have comparable sensitivity and specificity in detection of full thickness tears and partial tears compared to MRI [12,19].…”

“…Aside from non-operative management, the surgical treatment ranged from debridement alone to completion from partial-thickness to full-thickness tears with subsequent cuff repair, over to direct arthroscopic repair [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, open or arthroscopic acromioplasty alone does not prevent the progression from partial tendon lesions to full-thickness tears resulting in deterioration of the initially good operative outcome [16,17].…”

“…Durch CT und MRT kann nicht nur die Sehnenintegrität, sondern auch die Qualität der Sehne im Sinne der fettigen Degeneration und Muskelatrophie bewertet werden [8,14]. Ultraschall ist eine nichtinvasive Alternative zur Beurteilung der postoperativen Sehnenintegrität [13,20]. Eine vergleichbare Sensitivität und Spezifität bei der Identifizierung von Partial-und Komplettrupturen der Rotatorenmanschette im Vergleich zum MRT konnte bereits in mehreren Studien nachgewiesen werden [12,19].…”
