RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of conventional MR imaging (MRI) of the shoulder in evaluating biceps pulley lesions using arthroscopy as the standard of reference. METHODS: In a retrospective study, MR examinations of 68 patients with arthroscopically proven torn or intact biceps pulley were assessed for the presence of pulley lesions by three radiologists. The following criteria were evaluated: displacement of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) relative to the subscapularis tendon (displacement sign), subluxation/dislocation of the LHBT, the integrity of the superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL) and the coracohumeral ligament (CHL), lesions of the supraspinatus (SSP) and subscapularis (SSC) tendons adjacent to the rotator interval, presence of biceps tendinopathy and subacromial bursitis...

BACKGROUND: Rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy is the most reported shoulder disorder in the general population with highest prevalence in overhead athletes and adult working-age population. A growing body of evidence support exercise therapy as an effective intervention, but to date there are no prospective randomized controlled trials addressing pain as an intervention variable. METHODS: A single-site, prospective, pragmatic, assessor-blinded randomized controlled superiority trial...

Volleyball players with supraspinatus tendinopathy commonly present with a spectrum of symptoms, including shoulder pain, especially during the overhead phases of the game. They may experience pain during serves, spikes, or attempting to block at the net. Weakness in the affected shoulder and limited range of motion can impede performance and overall playing experience. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing supraspinatus tendinopathy, focusing on reducing pain, improving shoulder joint range and function, and preventing recurrence...

Urša Horvat, Žiga Kozinc
Ultrasound elastography is a valuable method employed to evaluate tissue stiffness, with shear-wave elastography (SWE) recently gaining significance in various settings. This literature review aims to explore the potential of SWE as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for musculoskeletal injuries. In total, 15 studies were found and included in the review. The outcomes of these studies demonstrate the effectiveness of SWE in detecting stiffness changes in individuals diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy, Achilles tendon rupture, rotator cuff rupture, tendinosis of the long head of the biceps tendon, injury of the supraspinatus muscle, medial tibial stress syndrome, and patellar tendinopathy...

Rotator cuff tendons are predisposed to calcific tendonitis and may present in single or multiple tendons. Despite the existence of several treatment strategies that have been proposed, clinical outcomes are controversial. Our study aims to report a case of large subscapularis tendon calcific tendonitis that was refractory to non-operative management and to investigate the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes. A 42-year-old male patient presented to us for the first time complaining of right shoulder pain and weakness for 18 months with no improvement with non-operative treatment...

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is a viable substitute for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that offers advantages in terms of time efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The gray-level histogram is a tool used to depict the distribution of pixel gray levels that provide quantitative data.

INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common shoulder disorder in which the primary treatment is resistance exercises. Isometric exercises are being studied for lower limb tendinopathies but not for rotator cuff tendinopathy. This protocol for a randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of two types of exercise (isometric and isotonic) on shoulder pain, functioning, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. METHODS: Forty-six individuals (18 to 60 years old) with shoulder pain for more than three months and unilateral supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus tendinopathy will participate in this trial...

BACKGROUND: Rotator cuff (RTC) tendinopathy is a common painful condition of the shoulder that impairs function and quality of life. Nonoperative treatments when physical therapy and oral medications have not resolved the issue often consist of different strategies to improve blood flow and promote growth factors, thereby creating regeneration and healing of injured tissue in the RTC tendons. Acupuncture could serve in a similar role when needles are strategically targeted into injured tissue utilizing ultrasound visualization...

BACKGROUND AND PPPM-RELATED WORKING HYPOTHESIS: In the diagnosis of incomplete rotator cuff injuries (IRCI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound examination often have false-positive and false-negative results, while arthroscopy is expensive, invasive, and complex. From the strategy of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), shoulder anatomical characteristics based on MRI have been demonstrated to accurately predict IRCI and their clinical applicability for personalized prediction of IRCI...

Calcific tendinopathy is one of the causes of shoulder pain and limited range of motion when it affects the rotator cuff tendons. Complications of such a condition are rare and include intraosseous and intramuscular migration. Calcific tendonitis can be classified as acute, subacute or chronic based on the onset of symptoms. The incidence of calcific tendonitis affects females more than males, with the median age of onset being between 40 and 60 years old. Diagnostic modalities include radiographs and computed tomography (CT); however, these are suboptimal when compared to the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging...
