Elasticity of torn supraspinatus tendons measured by shear wave elastography: a potential surrogate marker of chronicity?
Purpose This study investigated whether shear wave elastography (SWE) could be used to estimate the chronicity of supraspinatus tendon (SST) tears. Methods A retrospective study was performed. From November 2015 to July 2016, 113 patients (52 men, 61 women; age range, 21 to 79 years) with persistent...
