Associations between shoulder symptoms and concomitant pathology in patients with traumatic supraspinatus tears

The association between number of shoulder diagnoses and positive clinical tests with self-reported function and pain: A cross-sectional study of patients with hypermobile joints and shoulder complaints

“…When comparing these results with our analysis, it is important to acknowledge the differences related to outcome measure, exposure, age, and sex distribution. Furthermore, our findings are in line with a previous study on traumatic supraspinatus tears, where no association was reported between the number of structural pathologies and pain intensity (Kjaer et al, 2020a). It is widely accepted that pain is a complex sensation, including both biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors (Gatchel et al, 2007).…”

“…The lack of association between the number of positive clinical shoulder tests and self-reported shoulder pain corresponds with a previous study demonstrating that self-reported physical symptoms were not associated with the number of structural pathologies (cartilage lesion, hooked acromion, labral pathology) found during surgery in patients with traumatic supraspinatus tears (Kjaer et al, 2020a). When comparing these results with our analysis, it is important to acknowledge the differences related to outcome measure, exposure, age, and sex distribution.…”

Isolated traumatic full-thickness supraspinatus tear with intact glenohumeral capsule: a case report

“… 19 Literature findings show a great variety of traumatic superior rotator cuff lesions in term of amount of torn tendon (partial-thickness, full-thickness), tear shape (C-shaped, L-shaped, U-shaped), 23 tear size, associated lesions (biceps long head tendon, SLAP lesions, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis tendon). 12 Due to superior rotator cuff anatomy, full-thickness traumatic supraspinatus lesions are strongly associated to glenohumeral capsule lesions. 24 Fetal anatomical studies showed that, since 10th week of gestation, the fibers of the deep layer of supraspinatus tendon and superior glenohumeral capsule are intimately intertwined and cannot be separate at their insertion point on greater tuberosity.…”

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using the Mason-Allen Technique

“…Rotator cuff lesions are common causes of shoulder pain and limited activity. Some patients suffered from trauma, while others from degeneration [1]. The lesion can consist of supraspinatus tears, infraspinatus tears, subscapularis tears, and so forth.…”
