2022年3月23日 · Rotator cuff tears are the most common cause of shoulder pain and result in loss of strength and loss of stability of the shoulder. In this article we will discuss: The role of MRI in detection of full thickness tears. MR arthrography for depiction of partial thickness tears and co-existing intra-articular pathology.

2024年12月5日 · The presence of a tendon defect filled with fluid is the most direct sign of rotator cuff tear. Tendon retraction may also be present, which can be graded using the Patte classification . Indirect signs on MRI are - subdeltoid bursal effusion, medial dislocation of biceps, fluid along biceps tendon, and diffuse loss of peribursal fat planes.

2023年5月11日 · The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint in place and allow you to move your arm and shoulder. Problems with the rotator cuff may cause weakness or pain and restrict movement. It may also cause damage to the shoulder joint. Often, tendons can be repaired.

2022年5月31日 · MRI is the best imaging test to evaluate the rotator cuff tendons because of the soft tissue contrast. This means that the tendons can be easily identified from the surrounding muscles and bones. A tendon tear will alter the normal MRI appearance, leading to the diagnosis.

This non-invasive imaging technique assists healthcare professionals in accurately identifying the type, location, and severity of the tear, enabling tailored treatment plans for patients’ optimal ...

We will discuss new observations about the strengths, inherent blind spots, and diagnostic effectiveness of shoulder MRI, and then outline the classification of rotator cuff MRI findings and their impact on patient management.

2006年7月1日 · Magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate the extent and configuration of rotator cuff abnormalities, suggest mechanical imbalance within the cuff, and document abnormalities of the cuff muscles and adjacent structures.
