Non-Operative Management of Rotator Cuff Tears
BACKGROUND The role of nonoperative management for rotator cuff tears remains a matter of debate. Clinical results reported in the literature mainly consist of level IV studies, oftentimes combining a mixed bag of tear sizes and configurations, and are contradictory to some extent. METHODS A selective literature search was performed and personal surgical experiences are reported. RESULTS Mo...
متن کامل[Rotator cuff tears: value of 3.0T MRI].
PURPOSE To demonstrate the value of 3.0T MR imaging for the detection of rotator cuff tendon tears and surgical planning by correlating imaging findings to surgical findings. Materials and methods. Prospective follow-up of patients who underwent 3.0T MR imaging of the shoulder in our department between November 2005 and June 2007. Surgical findings were correlated to imaging findings for 48 pat...
متن کاملIs the Supraspinatus Muscle Atrophy Truly Irreversible after Surgical Repair of Rotator Cuff Tears?
BACKGROUND Atrophy of rotator cuff muscles has been considered an irreversible phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether atrophy is truly irreversible after rotator cuff repair. METHODS We measured supraspinatus muscle atrophy of 191 patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and postoperative multidetector computed tomography...
متن کاملOperative Technique: Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Introduction Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and disability. 2 With modern advances in arthroscopy and arthroscopic techniques, most rotator cuff tears can now be repaired arthroscopically, with several authors reporting successful results. However, the optimal management of massive rotator cuff tears is controversial and evolving. In general, a massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT) is...
متن کاملMRI of symptomatic and asymptomatic full-thickness rotator cuff tears
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Why some full-thickness rotator cuff tears are symptomatic and others are asymptomatic is not understood. By comparing MRI findings in symptomatic and asymptomatic tears, we wanted to identify any tear characteristics that differed between groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS 50 subjects with asymptomatic and 50 subjects with symptomatic full-thickness tears were examined by MR...
