Abstract
The critical shoulder angle (CSA) constitutes a straightforward and highly reproducible tool. Degenerative rotator cuff tears (RCT) are associated with a significantly larger CSA. In this review, the most relevant features of the CSA are summarized: (1) the relationship between the CSA and RCT pathophysiology, (2) accurate measurement of the CSA according to various imaging modalities, (3) the contribution of the CSA in predicting the occurrence of RCT, and (4) RCT recurrence after surgical repair.
