Abstract
Sonographic evaluation of the rotator cuff was initially attempted over two decades ago, not in a popular manner though among radiologists. Early reports did not show favorable results of ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging became rapidly the favored technique of preoperative shoulder joint evaluation and succeeded in the detection of partial and full‐thickness rotator cuff tears with high sensitivity and accuracy. The study protocol was approved by our Institutional ethics committee and informed consent was obtained from all patients before USG and MRI study. Hundred patients with traumatic shoulder injury or chronic shoulder pain that were clinically examined by orthopedician and highly suspective of rotator cuff tear were referred for USG and MR evaluation. In present study of 100 patients, out of 100 patients 94 patients were having rotator cuff tears. Forty two patients were having full thickness tear and 52 patients were having partial thickness tear. From total 42 patients of full thickness tear‐40 patients were positive on USG and 41 patients were positive on MRI. From total 52 patients of partial thickness tear‐46 patients were positive on USG and 48 patients were positive on MRI.
