Magnetic resonance imaging could precisely define the mean value of tendon thickness in partial rotator cuff tears

Abstract Purpose Rotator Cuff (RC) lesions are classified in full-thickness and partial-thickness tears (PTRCTs). To our knowledge, no studies investigated the mean size of shoulder tendons in healthy and PTRCT patients using MRI scans. The aim of the study was to provide data to obtain and compare...
