Abstract

Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a frequently encountered orthopedic condition with significant pain and functional impairment. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between tear size and the score of simplified assessment of fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff by ultrasonography. Twenty-two patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and preoperative ultrasonography from August 2018 to August 2019 (17 males; 5 females; mean age, 64.8 ± 11.5) were included in this study. RCT size was found to correlate significantly with the score of simplified assessment by ultrasonography.
