The critical shoulder angle does not change over time: A radiographic study
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Nov 13, 2020
Passaplan C, et al. - This study was intended to ascertain whether the scapular anatomy, in particular, the critical shoulder angle (CSA) changes over a long-term follow-up, or if it is a stable parameter. Between 2002 and 2019, researchers examined shoulder radiographs in the database to extract radiographs at an interval of at least 10 years. Researchers included a total of 41 individuals (47 shoulders) with a mean age of 53 years (range, 15 to 76, SD ±14) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. This study’s findings demonstrate that CSA is an anatomical parameter of the scapula which does not change in size after the closure of the physes.
