Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Dec 14, 2018
Malavolta EA, et al. - Authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to ascertain the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in the detection of subscapularis tendon tears. They performed a systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE databases up to April 2017. For diagnosing subscapularis tendon tears, MRI is an accurate method; nonetheless, they noted lower accuracy of it than that of overall rotator cuff tears, due to its lower sensitivity. Sensitivity was 0.68 and specificity was 0.90 for overall subscapularis tears. For full-thickness tears, sensitivity was 0.93 and it was 0.74 for partial tears.
