To evaluate the incidence of rotator cuff ruptures, we examined 122 autopsy specimens of the shoulder and compared our results with those reported in the literature. The incidence of partial tears in our study was 28.7%; the incidence of complete rupture was 30.3%. The frequency increased with age. We found no cuff rupture without supraspinatus tendon involvement. Very often, the cuff tear was bilateral. We do not share the opinion that the rupture of the rotator cuff is primarily an injury of men. We found a higher incidence in female than in male shoulders.
为评估肩袖撕裂的发生率，我们检查了122例肩部尸检标本，并将我们的结果与文献报道的结果进行了比较。在我们的研究中，部分撕裂的发生率为28.7%；完全撕裂的发生率为30.3%。发生率随年龄增长而增加。我们发现，若无冈上肌腱受累，则不存在肩袖撕裂。肩袖撕裂常常是双侧的。我们不同意肩袖撕裂主要是男性损伤的观点。我们发现女性肩部的发生率高于男性。
