Shoulder Physiological Offset Parameters in Asian Populations-A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Physical shoulder offset parameters (SOPs) play important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder diseases. However, there is little research analyzing SOPs in healthy shoulders using cross-sectional MRI images, especially in Asians. Therefore, this study aimed to establish physiological reference values of shoulder parameters for Asian populations. Methods: This was a retrospective imaging study using MRI images of the shoulder joints of 500 patients (mean age: 55.9 ± 14.0 years). We measured the following SOPs of the normal joint: HO, GO, lateral glenoidal humeral offset (LGHO), humeral shaft axis offset (HAO), and cortical offset (CO). In addition, the offset parameters were examined for associations with age, gender, side, and osteoarthriti
