Background Rotator cuff tears are common. A previous systematic review reported on factors
associated with rotator cuff tears; however, it included relatively few studies and few …

Background Scapular anatomy, as measured by the acromial index (AI), critical shoulder
angle (CSA), lateral acromial angle (LAA), and glenoid inclination (GI), has emerged as a …

The causes of degenerative rotator cuff (RTC) tears are unclear but certain acromion
morphology may contribute. This study's objective was to determine using a systematic …

Purpose To scope the scientific literature and analyze the influence of bony risk factors for
degenerative full-thickness primary rotator cuff tear. Methods A systematic review of …

Purpose Scapular morphology is an extrinsic factor playing role in rotator cuff tear (RCT)
etiology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between critical …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate glenohumeral morphologic differences and
their correlation between glenohumeral instability and rotator cuff pathology. Methods Two …

Background The aim of this study was twofold:(i) to investigate the intrarater reliability of
acromiohumeral distance measurement;(ii) to assess the level of association between …

Previous research has established connections between the acromion index (AI), critical
shoulder angle (CSA), acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and lateral acromion angle (LAA) …

Background Morphological markers presenting the lateral extension of acromion and the
greater tuberosity of humerus were proposed to diagnose and predict rotator cuff tears …

Objectives This study aims to investigate the reliability of acromiohumeral distance (AHD)
measurements using conventional radiographs and to compare non-standardized and …
