Background:
painful shoulder syndrome is a pathology that in some cases requires surgical treatment. The objective was to measure the sensibility and predictability of ultrasonographic study in patients with rotator cuff injuries treated with open surgery.
Methods:
thirty-two patients with confirmed rotator cuff injury (either by US and/or arthrography) were surgically intervened through opened surgery technique. Sensibility and specificity of ultrasonographic study were measured and also functional results.
Results:
functional results after open surgery were as follows; excellent in twenty five, good in five and not satisfactory in two patients. Ultrasound sensitivity was of 90 % and its specificity was 81.81 % with a predictive positive value of 94.73 and a predictive negative value of 90.17 %.
Conclusions:
the shoulder function recuperation after open surgery was satisfactory in most patients, allowing them going back to the performance of their activities.
