Aim To evaluate the inter-rater reliability of measuring structural changes in the tendon of patients, clinically diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinopathy (cases) and healthy participants (controls), ...

Introduction Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is the mechanical entrapment of the supraspinatus tendon underneath the acromial arch of scapula. The narrowing of the subacromial space (SAS) was ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate a number of tissue characteristics associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy and ageing in samples of human supraspinatus tendon from individuals over a wide age ...

Radiographs showed calcification in the region of supraspinatus tendon (figure 1). An ultrasound scan of shoulder demonstrated intratendinous calcification in the distal part of supraspinatus tendon ...

Background The rotator cuff consists of muscles and their tendons: subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus. The subscapularis tendon inserts in the lesser tuberosity of the humerus. The ...

Methods Torn supraspinatus tendon (established pathology) and matched intact subscapularis tendon (representing ‘early pathology’) biopsies were collected from patients undergoing arthroscopic ...

In these 22 patients US was normal in 7 (31%), the remaining 15 (69%) showed: partial or complete tear of the supraspinatus (6), bicipital tenosynovitis (4), subacromial bursitis (3), ...

US outcomes (other outcomes): acromionhumeral distance at rest, supraspinatus tendon thickness, occupation ratio. The time needed to collect the data was tested for screening and objective measures ...

Rotator cuff pathology was the most prevalent pathology on ultrasound (50%), with supraspinatus the most commonly affected rotator cuff component, accounting for 86 of the 102 cases (85% ...
