Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a challenging and common musculoskeletal disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a commonly used diagnostic modality for RCT, but the interpretation of the results is tedious and has some reliability issues. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy and efficacy of the 3-dimensional (3D) MRI segmentation for RCT using a deep learning algorithm. METHODS A 3D U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to detect, segment, and visualize RCT lesions in 3D, using MRI data from 303 patients with RCTs. The RCT lesions were labeled by two shoulder specialists in the entire MR image using in-house developed software. The MRI-based 3D U-Net CNN was trained after the augmentation of a training dataset and tested using randomly selected test data (training: validation: test data ratio was 6:2:2). The segmented RCT lesion was visualized in a three-dimensional reconstructed image, and the performance of the 3D U-Net CNN was evaluated using the Dice coefficient, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1-score, and Youden index. RESULTS A deep learning algorithm using a 3D U-Net CNN successfully detected, segmented, and visualized the area of RCT in 3D. The model's performance reached a 94.3% of Dice coefficient score, 97.1% of sensitivity, 95.0% of specificity, 84.9% of precision, 90.5% of F1-score, and Youden index of 91.8%. CONCLUSION The proposed model for 3D segmentation of RCT lesions using MRI data showed overall high accuracy and successful 3D visualization. Further studies are necessary to determine the feasibility of its clinical application and whether its use could improve care and outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the evaluation methods of postoperative healing of supraspinatus tendon tear in recent years, in order to provide reference for clinic. METHODS CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, and Foreign Medical Literature Retrieval Service (FMRS) databases were used to search the literatures between 2005 and 2022. The literature related to the diagnosis and postoperative healing of supraspinatus tendon tear was included. Finally, 50 articles were reviewed. RESULTS Supraspinatus tendon tear is a common shoulder disease. Physical examination, clinical score, and imaging examination are used to predict and evaluate the postoperative healing. Among them, physical examination and clinical score are non-invasive and the most economical methods, but their accuracy and sensitivity are lower than imaging examination, so they can only be used as auxiliary methods. The acromio-humeral distance (AHD) and upward migration index (UMI) measured by X-ray films can directly reflect the change of supraspinatus tendon thickness, but they are impossible to distinguish whether there is tear or not. Ultrasound and MRI are the main methods for the clinical diagnosis of supraspinatus tendon tear, but the commonly used MRI sequence can not accurately judge the internal healing of the tendon. Shear wave elastrography (SWE) and ultrashort-echo-time (UTE) techniques are the latest research directions in recent years, but different studies have shown opposite conclusions on the application of SWE technique. This conclusion shows that the principle of SWE technique and its relationship with tendons need to be further studied. UTE technique has good clinical effect, and the T2* value obtained by UTE technique is more accurate than that of traditional Sugaya typing, but there are still few research samples. CONCLUSION AHD and UMI measured by X-ray film and T2* value measured by UTE technique can be used as effective methods for evaluating the healing of supraspinatus tendon tear after repairing, and can be used as a follow-up evaluation method combined with physical examination and clinical score for patients with supraspinatus tendon tear.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Objectives: To comparatively evaluate the role of ultrasound and MRI in rotator cuff and biceps tendon pathologies and to establish ultrasound as a consistently reproducible, quick and accurate primary investigation modality sufficient to triage patients requiring surgical correction of full thickness rotator cuff tears. Methods: Fifty patients, clinically suspected to have rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon pathologies, with no contraindications to MRI, were evaluated by US and MRI, in a prospective cross-sectional observational study. US was done with high-frequency linear probe, and MRI was done on a 1.5-T scanner using T1 oblique sagittal, proton density (PD)/T2 fat-suppressed (FS) oblique sagittal, T1 axial, PD/T2 FS axial, T1 oblique coronal, T2 oblique coronal and PD FS oblique coronal sequences. Statistical testing was conducted with the statistical package for the social science system version SPSS 17.0. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy were also calculated to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of US findings correlating with MRI findings. A p value less than 0.05 was taken to indicate a significant difference.
Results
Mean age was 45 years; 74% patients were males; 77% females and 60% males had tears. Majority of patients with rotator cuff tears were in the sixth decade of life. The frequency of tears was higher among older patients. Fourteen percent of patients had full thickness tears while 64% had partial thickness tears. US was comparable to MRI for detection of full thickness tears with overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV and accuracy of 93.8%, 100%, 100% and 98.2%, respectively (p value < 0.001). For partial thickness tears, US had overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV and accuracy of 75.6%, 82.6%, 89.5% and 78%, respectively (p value < 0.001), as compared to MRI. Subacromial-subdeltoid bursal effusion and long head of biceps tendon sheath effusion were common associated, though, non-specific findings.
Conclusion
Ultrasound findings in our study were found to be in significant correlation with findings on MRI in detection of rotator cuff tears. US was equivalent to MRI in detection of full thickness tears and fairly accurate for partial thickness tears. Therefore, US should be considered as the first line of investigation for rotator cuff pathologies.

Ultrasonography of Shoulder in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Reliability Exercise Using Consensual Definitions among Maghrebian Rheumatologists. ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2021; 47:3343-3348. [PMID: 34600768 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2021.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The shoulder may be affected in a large portion of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) worldwide. However, this joint does not receive the attention required during follow-up. Indeed, although numerous clinical tests for diagnosis of a painful shoulder are available, differentiating articular from peri-articular lesions may be difficult in daily practice. Fortunately, the precise diagnosis of shoulder pain in RA has benefited from a reliable imaging modality used to detect its exact origin-ultrasonography (US). This study was aimed at assessing the intra- and inter-observer reliability of ultrasonographic findings for patients with established RA with shoulder pain in a patient-based exercise as a clinical challenge among Maghrebian rheumatologist experts in US. A total of 7 operators examined 10 patients in two rounds independently and blindly of each other. Before beginning the session, all of the rheumatologists reached a consensus on sites and US settings by performing a brief exercise on a normal shoulder. Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials (OMERACT) definitions of US-detected pathologies were used. Each patient underwent US scanning of the painful shoulder in predefined sites based on US technical guidelines of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology: long head of biceps (LHB), subscapularis recess, posterior recess and axillary recess. The presence of subdeltoid or subcoracoid bursitis or full rupture of the suprasupinatus was identified if present. Intra- and inter-observer reliability measures were calculated using the κ coefficient. Intra-observer reliability was good for gray-scale (GS) synovitis in subscapularis and posterior recesses (κ = 0.77 and 0.73, respectively). It was moderate in the presence of GS synovitis and effusion in LHB (κ =0.53 and 0.40, respectively), posterior and subscapularis recess effusion (κ = 0.56 and 0.60, respectively) and GS and power Doppler (PD) synovitis in axillary recesses (κ = 0.58 and 0.49, respectively). Inter-observer reliability was good for PD for LHB signals (κ = 0.78). It was moderate for GS for LHB synovitis (κ = 0.54). Inter-observer agreement was poor for effusion and GS synovitis for subscapularis, posterior and axillary recesses, and very poor for PD signals in these recesses. US was a reliable imaging tool for detecting tenosynovitis in the LHB. However, reliability was moderate to poor in detecting synovitis in subscapularis, posterior and axillary recesses. These findings could be optimized by standardization of sites to assess.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:449-455. [PMID: 32920110 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are likely at least as common as full-thickness rotator cuff tears, and it is critical for surgeons to have knowledge of the tear progression rate of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears when determining surgical or nonsurgical treatment. However, a systematic review investigating the rate of tear progression of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears has not been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature and determine the rate of full-thickness progression in nonoperatively treated partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed following the PRISMA guidelines and checklist using the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases. English-language studies of Level I through IV evidence examining partial-thickness rotator cuff tears with description of the change in tear size were included. Studies using imaging modalities other than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasonography (US) for serial imaging and studies without description of the number of tears that progressed to full-thickness tears were excluded. The primary outcome was to determine the per-month progression rate from a partial-thickness tear to a full-thickness tear confirmed on either MRI or US. The progression rates, which were divided into 3 groups-symptomatic, asymptomatic and combined (asymptomatic + symptomatic)-were calculated using a random effects model with binomial within-study variance. RESULTS Four studies were included, and 257 tears were analyzed statistically for tear progression. The average follow-up was 34 months (standard deviation, 19 months). The overall rate of progression to a full-thickness tear was 0.26% per month (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.15%-0.36% per month). In the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups, the rates were 0.22% per month (95% CI, 0.09%-0.34% per month) and 0.32% per month (95% CI, 0.15%-0.49% per month), respectively, which showed no significant difference (P =.341). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that partial-thickness tears progress to full-thickness tears over time but at a relatively low rate at short- to intermediate-term follow-up. There was no significant difference in the per-month rates of full-thickness progression between symptomatic and asymptomatic tears.

Abstract
The assessment of the six-week influence of Kinesio Taping combined with a rehabilitation on selected ultrasonography measurements, the level of disability, and the quality of life in patients with rotator cuff lesions. 60 participants were randomly assigned into a taping group (KT combined with a six-week rehabilitating protocol) and a control group (only rehabilitation protocol). In all patients the following assessments were performed twice: USG, UEFI and NHP questionnaires. In the examination of the subacromial space and the subacromial bursa in the taping group, no statistical significance was observed. A statistically significant change in the thickness of the muscles was obtained only for the thickness of the infraspinatus in the taping group. A statistically significant change was obtained in the assessment of tendinopathy only for the supraspinatus muscle in both groups. Within both groups a statistically significant difference was observed in the average UEFI and NHP scores; however, the differences in the scores obtained between the groups were not statistically significant. The use of KT with a rehabilitation program did not yield statistically significantly better results in the improvement of selected shoulder region indicators, the function of the upper limb and the quality of life.
