Radiographic greater tuberosity spurs and narrow acromiohumeral intervals are associated with advanced retraction of the supraspinatus tendon in patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tears

Radiographic greater tuberosity spurs and narrow acromiohumeral intervals are associated with advanced retraction of the supraspinatus tendon in patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tears

Background: Degenerative signs on shoulder radiographs, including spur formation and narrow acromiohumeral intervals (AHIs), have been recognized as indicative of atrophic and fat-infiltrated rotator cuff muscles. Past studies have demonstrated that patients with poor quality muscles are prone to re...
