Ultrasound vs. MRI in the assessment of rotator cuff structure prior to shoulder arthroplasty

Background/Aims - We compared the accuracy of US to 3 T Tesla MRI for the detection of rotator cuff and long biceps tendon pathologies before joint replacement. - Methods - 45 patients were prospectively included. - Results - For the supraspinatus tendon, the accuracy of US when using MRI as referen...

Description
Summary:Background/Aims - We compared the accuracy of US to 3 T Tesla MRI for the detection of rotator cuff and long biceps tendon pathologies before joint replacement. - Methods - 45 patients were prospectively included. - Results - For the supraspinatus tendon, the accuracy of US when using MRI as reference was 91.1%. For the infraspinatus tendon, the accuracy with MRI as reference was 84.4%. The subscapularis tendon was consistently assessed by US and MRI in 35/45 patients (accuracy 77.8%). For the long biceps tendon the accuracy was 86.7%. - Conclusion - US detection of rotator cuff and biceps tendon integrity is comparable to MRI and should be preferred in revision cases.
