“…From the 53 articles resulting from this selection process, one was a duplicate publication, two were referred to as experimental studies, and 22 had insufficient data for sensitivity and specificity calculations, leading to their exclusion. Following a rigorous selection process, a total of 9 articles (16,(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), involving 366 cases, were incorporated into the meta-analysis. A comprehensive overview of the article search and study selection process was show in Figure 1.…”

BackgroundRotator cuff injuries and tears are common causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction, necessitating accurate diagnostic methods to guide clinical decision-making. This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of three-dimensional (3D) shoulder sonography in identifying rotator cuff injury and tear patterns.MethodsA comprehensive search across seven electronic databases, which included Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine (CBM) database, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP database. These databases were utilized to retrieve articles that assess the diagnostic value of 3D shoulder sonography for identifying rotator cuff injuries and tear patterns. The effectiveness of 3D shoulder sonography was assessed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). For each parameter, the 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Additionally, summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROCs) were constructed, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of diagnostic accuracy, which is reflected in the area under the SROC curve (AUC).ResultsScreening of 8,508 identified nine literatures eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis, encompassing a total of 366 patients. The analysis of detecting any rotator cuff tear revealed a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.87, yielding a DOR of 90.03 and an AUC of 0.98. Furthermore, 3D shoulder sonography demonstrated satisfactory accuracy in detecting both full and partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (Sensitivity: 0.92 vs. 0.83, specificity: 0.94 vs. 097, and AUC: 0.96 vs. 0.95).ConclusionThis study indicates that three-dimensional sonography has satisfied accuracy for detecting rotator cuff tears.
