Today is a day for dicoms that incorporates the things we have discussed so far about the acromion, ACJ, SST, IST and the anatomy. REVIEW DICOMS QUICK REVIEW STRUCTURE YOUR THOUGHTS QUICK REVIEW To assess these scans confidently you need to know: Normal appearance of the tendons of SST and IST Appearance of Fraying, […]

3 TYPES OF ROTATOR CUFF TENDON TEARS 1. BURSAL SURFACE TEARS BURSAL SURFACE TEARS WHAT TO LOOK FOR BURSAL SURFACE TEARS WHAT IS IT: This is a tear the begins at the bursal surface fibres. Variable extension into the tendon. Doesn’t extend through to the articular surface. WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHAT AND WHERE TO

LEADING EDGE OF SST: WHAT IS IT AND HOW TO FIND IT WHAT IS IT: One important part of the anatomy is understanding that the SST has a very anterior insertion which we often don’t look at properly and can miss tears at this region. The anterior most part of the SST insertion is also

VIEW DICOMS QUICK REVIEW STRUCTURE YOUR THOUGHTS QUICK REVIEW To assess these scans confidently you need to know: Normal appearance of the tendons of SST and IST. Appearance of Full Thickness Tears, MTJ retraction, Fatty Infiltration and Atrophy. Other findings associated with RCT degeneration. Fraying, Tendonosis, Delamination. How to find the insertion sites of IST

WHAT ELSE TO ASSESS AND REPORT ON Is there Muscle Atrophy? Is there Fatty Infiltration? Is the humeral head superiorly subluxed? WHY ARE ATROPHY AND FATTY INFILTRATION IMPORTANT TO REPORT: The worse the atrophy and fatty infiltration, the less chance of a good functional outcome if surgery is performed. Atrophy and Fatty infiltration are separate

WHAT IS A FULL THICKNESS TEAR: We are assessing the tendon from the superior (bursal) to its inferior (articular) surface. A full thickness tear is a tear that involves the entire tendon in the superior to inferior direction. Another way to put it is that it extends all the way between the Articular and Bursal

Today is a day for dicoms that incorporates the things we have discussed so far about the SST, IST (tendonosis and tears) and their anatomy. These are mostly full cases so it may seem overwhelming. Focus on the SST and IST to assess for tears and tendonosis and on the ACJ and acromion. REVIEW
