Partial- thickness rotator cuff tears most commonly appear as interruption of the normal cuff contour, resulting in a cuff defect filled with fluid signal. The multiplanar capability afforded by MRI allows assessment of the articular, bursal, and intratendinous components of the tear.
18 lis 2023 · MRI remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of supraspinatus tendon injury. MRI can play an important role in diagnosis as well as in pre-operative planning. It can help in diagnosing the size of the tear, retraction, location of the tear, muscle atrophy, level of fatty infiltration or any other degenerative changes.
18 gru 2021 · Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are rotator cuff tears that lack full transmural extension from the articular to the bursal surfaces. Epidemiology.
26 lut 2022 · Partial thickness rotator cuff tears have been diagnosed with increased frequency due to heightened awareness and an improvement in diagnostic modalities. When >50% of the tendon thickness has ruptured, intra-tendinous strain of the residual tendon increases.
(b) Coronal oblique fat-saturated T2-weighted MR image (3000/60) shows a bursal-surface partial-thickness tear (arrow) in the distal supraspinatus tendon (SST). These images can be...
27 lut 2024 · Partial bursal side tear of the supraspinatus tendon. a Illustration shows where the bursal side tears are located. b Oblique coronal fat-suppressed PD-weighted MRI reveals a discontinuity of the SS bursal side (arrow) greater than 50% of the tendon thickness.
to review the available literature dealing with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, with particular emphasis on the optimal method(s) of diagnosis, tear classification, indications for and techniques of operative repair, and treatment results.
