Sonographic Measurements of Normal Supraspinatus Tendon Width and Thickness in Sudan
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The supraspinatus tendon is one of the four rotator cuff tendons; it lies on its superior aspect and arises from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and scapular spine. The aim of the study was to measure the width and thickness of normal supraspinatus by ultrasound among Sudanese population. The study was conducted on a seventy-seven Sudanese population from both gender, 49 females and 28 males scanned by ultrasound machine with the participant sitting on a rotating stool and Place the participant’s arm posteriorly, placing the palm side of the hand on the superior aspect of the iliac wing with the elbow flexed and directed posteriorly. There was a correlation between supraspinatus tendon thickness and volunteers body weight, height and age. The best correlation was between the supraspinatus tendon and volunteer’s body weight followed by the supraspinatus tendon and volunteer’s height and finally the correlation between the supraspinatus tendon and volunteer’s age. The mean standard of supraspinatus tendon thickness was 4.8 ± 0.76mm, the mean standard of supraspinatus tendon width was 26.06 ± 3.11mm, and therefore we should take the supraspinatus tendon measurements in addition to the essential Rotator Cuff measurements.
