Correlation of acromial morphology with impingement syndrome and rotator cuff tears
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Indications for acromioplasty are based on clinical symptoms and are generally supported by typical changes in acromial morphology on standard radiographs. We evaluated 5 commonly used radiographic parameters of acromial morphology and assessed the association between different radiographic characteristics on the one hand and subacromial impingement or rotator cuff tears ...
متن کاملRotator cuff impingement due to enchondroma of the acromion.
We report the case of a patient with a long standing clinical history of subacromial impingement, in which plain radiographs and CT-scan revealed a well-circumscribed lucent lesion expanding the undersurface of the acromion. MRI showed the subacromial fat to be completely obliterated and the infraspinatus tendon deformed due to compression by a mass localised at the acromion. The acromial lesio...
متن کاملAcromion Index in Korean Population and Its Relationship with Rotator Cuff Tears
BACKGROUND Among the many causes of rotator cuff tears, scapular morphology is associated with the accelerating degenerative process of the rotator cuff. Acromion index (AI) was previously introduced and compared in two populations. METHODS We enrolled 100 Korean patients diagnosed with full-thickness rotator cuff tears by magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative arthroscopic findings be...
متن کاملRadiographic Study on the Acromion Index and Its Relationship with Rotator Cuff Tears.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the lateral projection of the acromion and rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in the Brazilian population. METHODS The lateral projection of the acromion was measured using anteroposterior radiographs of the shoulders, carried out with the glenoid cavity in absolute profile and the humeral head in the neutral position or with...
متن کاملAcromion and glenoid shape: Why are they important predictive factors for the future of our shoulders?
The shape of the acromion differs between patients with degenerative rotator cuff tears and individuals without rotator cuff pathology.It can be assessed in the sagittal plane (acromion type, acromion slope) and in the coronal plane (lateral acromion angle, acromion index, critical shoulder angle).The inter-observer reliability is better for the measurements in the coronal plane.A large lateral...
