Ultrasonic shear wave elastography predicts the quality of the residual tendon before the rotator cuff repair

Abstract Background and purpose Effective evaluation of rotator cuff tear residual tendon quality is the key to surgical repair. However, until now, the evaluation of rotator cuff tissue by ultrasonic shear wave elasticity (SWE) has been controversial. This prospective study analyzed the association...
