    Summary

    Ultrasonography (US) offers a new, safe, and inexpensive method for evaluating rotator cuff tears. This noninvasive technique is recommended over traditional arthrography for assessing rotator cuff integrity.

    Area of Science:

    • Musculoskeletal imaging
    • Diagnostic radiology
    • Orthopedic diagnostics

    Background:

    • Contrast arthrography was the primary nonoperative method for diagnosing rotator cuff defects.
    • Limitations of arthrography include evaluating only one shoulder at a time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and detail ultrasonographic (US) evaluation of the moving shoulder.
    • To correlate US findings with arthrography and surgical outcomes in patients with rotator cuff injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of the ultrasonographic technique for shoulder evaluation.
    • Correlation of US results with contrast arthrography and/or surgical findings in 79 patients.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography allows for simultaneous evaluation of both shoulders, unlike arthrography.
    • Advancements in US instrumentation and skilled ultrasonographers enhance diagnostic accuracy.
    • US is rapid, safe, noninvasive, and cost-effective.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for assessing rotator cuff integrity.
    • US demonstrates advantages over arthrography in terms of efficiency and scope of evaluation.
    • The study advocates for the routine use of ultrasonography instead of arthrography for rotator cuff assessment.
