Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy: Pathophysiology, Imaging Characteristics, and Treatment Options
AJR Am J Roentgenol.
2015 Nov.
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the biomechanical properties of the rotator cuff and glenohumeral joint and the pathophysiology, imaging characteristics, and treatment options of rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA).
Conclusion: Although multiple pathways have been proposed as causes of RCTA, the exact cause remains unclear. Increasing knowledge about the clinical diagnosis, imaging features, and indicators of severity improves recognition and treatment of this pathologic condition.
Keywords: MRI; arthropathy; biomechanics; imaging; rotator cuff tear; shoulder.
