Some of the most important causes of shoulder pain are inflammation and degenerative changes in the rotator cuff (RC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive and safe imaging modality. MRI can be used for the evaluation of cuff tendinopathy. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between glenoid cavity depth and cuff tendinopathy and we investigated glenoid cavity depth on the pathogenesis of cuff tendinopathy.
We retrospectively evaluated 215 patients who underwent MRI. Of these, 60 patients showed cuff tendinopathy (group A) and 54 patients showed no pathology (group B). Glenoid cavity depth was calculated in the coronal and transverse planes.
The mean axial depth was 1.7 ± 0.9 and the mean coronal depth 3.8 ± 0.9, for group A. The mean axial depth was 3.5 ± 0.7 and the mean coronal depth 1.5 ± 0.8, for group B. There were significant differences in the axial and coronal depths between the two groups.
High coronal and low axial depth of the glenoid cavity can be used to diagnose RC tendinitis.
肩袖（RC）的炎症和退行性变是肩部疼痛的一些最重要原因。磁共振成像（MRI）是一种无创且安全的成像方式。MRI可用于评估肩袖肌腱病。在本研究中，我们评估了关节盂深度与肩袖肌腱病之间的关系，并研究了关节盂深度在肩袖肌腱病发病机制中的作用。
我们回顾性评估了215例行MRI检查的患者。其中，60例患者表现为肩袖肌腱病（A组），54例患者未发现病变（B组）。在冠状面和横断面计算关节盂深度。
A组平均轴向深度为1.7±0.9，平均冠状面深度为3.8±0.9。B组平均轴向深度为3.5±0.7，平均冠状面深度为1.5±0.8。两组之间的轴向和冠状面深度存在显著差异。
关节盂冠状面深度高和轴向深度低可用于诊断肩袖肌腱炎。
