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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review In the past several years, there have been significant advances
in our understanding of the natural history of rotator cuff disease. Studies have continued to …

Purpose To investigate whether arthroscopic lateral acromioplasty reliably decreases the
critical shoulder angle (CSA) and whether it is associated with damage to the deltoid or …

Background No evaluation has been done on the relationship of the critical shoulder angle
(CSA) with retear after rotator cuff repair. Our purpose was to evaluate whether a higher CSA …

Background The critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been reported to be associated with
rotator cuff disease and has been suggested as an etiology for cuff tears. However, it is …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromion index (AI), and
glenoid inclination (GI) on the postoperative healing rate after arthroscopic supraspinatus …

Background In 2013 Moor et al introduced the concept of the critical shoulder angle (CSA)
and suggested that an abnormal CSA was a leading factor in development of rotator cuff tear …

Background: The purpose of this paper was to determine whether acromial morphology
influences anteroposterior shoulder stability. We hypothesized that a more horizontal and …

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 …

Purpose To summarize the available evidence and examine the relationship between the
critical shoulder angle (CSA) and (1) the incidence of chronic full-thickness rotator cuff tears …
