Abstract

Objective To explore the value of real-time dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury. Methods From January 2020 to June 2021, the clinical data of 55 patients with rotator cuff injury were collected. All patients were examined by real-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI at the same time within two weeks before surgery, which was confirmed by arthroscopy. The value of real-time dynamic ultrasound, MRI, and the real-time dynamic ultrasound combined with MRI in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury was evaluated. Results Among the 55 patients with rotator cuff injury, real-time dynamic ultrasound showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 31 patients (56.36%), including type IV in 16 patients (29.00%), type V in 5 patients (9.09%), and type VI in 10 patients (18.18%). MRI showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 37 patients (67.27%), including type IV in 20 patients (36.36%), type V in 7 patients (12.73%), and type VI in 10 patients (18.18%). The combined examination showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 39 cases (70.91%), including type IV in 21 cases (38.12%), type V in 7 patients (12.73%), and type VI in 12 patients (21.82%). The diagnostic accuracy of real-time dynamic ultrasound in complete tearing, partial tearing and the overall accuracy were 92.31%, 73.81% and 78.18%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of complete tear, partial tear and the overall accuracy of MRI were 92.31%, 88.00% and 89.09%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of complete tear and partial tear and overall accuracy in the real-time dynamic ultrasound combined with MRI were 92.31%, 95.24%, and 94.55%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy and overall diagnostic accuracy of the combined examination of partial tears were higher than those of the real-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI examinations alone. Conclusion Real-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI have high application value in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury, and the combined diagnosis is conducive to improving the diagnostic accuracy of patients with partial tear.

Summary

Objective

To explore the value of real-time dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury. Previous studies have focused on the value of MRI and real-time dynamic ultrasound in the diagnosis of arthritis and joint lesions, but there is no definitive conclusion on the advantages and disadvantages of different imaging modalities for the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury [8]. On this basis, clinical data of 55 patients with rotator cuff injury were collected in this study to explore the application values of MRI and real-time dynamic ultrasound in the diagnosis of rotator cuff tear injury. Clinical data of 55 patients with rotator cuff injury were collected in this study to explore the application values of MRI and real-time dynamic ultrasound in the diagnosis of rotator cuff tear injury. e reports are as follows
