Glenohumeral abnormalities associated with full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff

Orthop Rev. 1994 Feb;23(2):159-62.

Abstract

One hundred consecutive patients with full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff were prospectively evaluated by glenohumeral arthroscopy to determine the incidence of associated intra-articular lesions. Seventy-four of the 100 patients had coexisting intra-articular abnormalities.
