Clinical Presentation and Spectrum of Involvement of Rotator Cuff Tendon and Its Associated Pathologies
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff tendon tear is very common problem and its frequency is found to be increasing. It is characterized by immense pain, weakness, stiffness which is the outcome of tendon tears. It’s also known as tendinopathy. Various data’s are available on RCT which can help to understand the tendinopathies and associated pathologies. Aim: Purpose of this descriptive study is to study the Clinical presentation and spectrum of involvement of rotator cuff tendon and its associated pathologies Material and Method: Patients referred to the Department of Radio diagnosis, Rural medical college, Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences, Loni, for MRI shoulder with suspected shoulder pathology were examined. 70 patients aged above 18 years with Rotator cuff lesions were detected on magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder joint and were selected for the study. Result: The most frequent presenting complaint in patients with rotator cuff disease was pain in 57% cases followed by stiffness resulting in reduced range of movement across the shoulder joint. The most commonly affected tendon is the supraspinatus tendon in 81% cases .The least frequently affected tendon being the teres minor. Conclusion: Rotator cuff disorders occur both in male and female with no gender predisposition. It is a common contributing factor of shoulder pain. A detailed knowledge on the same can help to reduce the discomfort caused
