The incidence of deltoid tear among patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tear.

ABSTRACT:

Backgroun

Full-thickness rotator cuff tear is common in the older population. The incidence of traumatic deltoid tears post-surgery is well addressed. However, non-traumatic spontaneous injury is not well recognized despite a few case reports and previous studies. The aim of the study is to determine the incidence and association of deltoid tear among patients with non-traumatic full-thickness rotator cuff tear using shoulder magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted of 271 shoulders magnetic resonance imaging examinations with full-thickness rotator cuff tear between 2012 and 2022. The analyzed variables were full-thickness rotator cuff tear size, tear grading (small, medium, large, and massive), muscle fatty degeneration, and d
