“…This is the first comprehensive study exploring tendon thickness assessed with ultrasound in such populations and the first to explore the association between shoulder tendon thickness and perceived pain and function. The tendon thickness values obtained from the asymptomatic subjects in this study were similar to those previously reported by Karthikeyan et al(Karthikeyan et al, 2014), which reported a thickness of the supraspinatus tendon between 4.9 mm and 5.6 mm, of the subscapularis tendon between3.8 to 4.4 mm and a thickness of the biceps brachiitendon between 2.9 to 3.4mm when measured on the dominant shoulder of their healthy volunteers. Similarly, Schmidt et al (Schmidt et al, 2004)reported mean values of 4.6 mm for the supraspinatus, 4.2 mm for the subscapularisand2.6 mm for the biceps.…”

“…MRI evaluation demonstrated no instances of re-tear of the rotator cuff in any of the patents and the integrity of the repaired tendon remained intact in all individuals throughout the 2-year follow-up period. There was a significant (p < 0.01) increase in mean tendon thickness in all subjects at 3 months when compared to published values 20 (Tab. 1, Fig.…”

“…For each patient, all of the subsequent follow-up thickness measurements were made as close as possible to the location at which the tendon thickness was measured in the 3-month MRI. Thickness measurements were compared to previously published ultrasound values for males and females to determine the relative amount of new tissue generation 20 . Restoration of the footprint area was assessed by evaluation of the MR images at 2 years.…”

Preliminary investigation of a biological augmentation of rotator cuff repairs using a collagen implant: a 2-year MRI follow-up tissue matured over time and became indistinguishable from the underlying tendon. At 24 months all repairs remained intact and normal footprint anatomy of the tendon was restored in all patients. All clinical scores improved significantly over time. Conclusion: the ability of a collagen implant to induce new host tissue formation and restore the normal footprint anatomy may represent a significant advancement in the biological augmentation and ultimate durability of rotator cuff repairs.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) as a tool to measure supraspinatus tendon thickness in healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty healthy subjects were assessed in similar sitting position. Two experienced musculoskeletal ultrasound specialists measured supraspinatus tendon thickness. Tendon was measured twice in one day by each of two raters with an interval of one hour for within day reliability and was re-measured following one week for between days reliability. Data analysis was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM). [Results] Results reflected excellent within day intra-rater and inter-rater reliability with Mean ± standard deviation (SD)=5.14 ± 0.83 and 5.17 ± 0.78, ICC (2,1)=0.89–0.93 and ICC (2,2)=0.98 (0.95−0.99) and SEM=0.18–0.18 and 0.17 while between days intra-rater rater and inter-rater reliability with Mean ± SD=5.14 ± 0.83 and 5.17 ± 0.78, ICC(2,1)=0.88–0.90 and ICC(2,2)=0.95 (0.88−0.98), SEM=0.17–0.38 and 0.17 [Conclusion] The results of the current study indicate that MSKUS is a reliable tool for measuring supraspinatus tendon thickness in healthy subjects.
