Rotator cuff tears are among the most common disorders of the shoulder girdle requiring surgical intervention, and it is no surprise that orthopaedic surgeons have searched far and wide for means to improve on rotator cuff repair outcomes. Radiological parameters such as the critical shoulder angle have recently emerged and have been associated with the presence of degenerative rotator cuff tears. However, their true impact on postoperative outcomes are still unclear. Although radiological parameters, because of their objectivity, will always remain a critical part of a surgeon's preoperative assessment, we must remember that ultimately we are treating patients and not radiographs.
肩袖撕裂是肩部最常见的需要手术干预的疾病之一，因此，矫形外科医生一直在寻找改善肩袖修复效果的方法，这并不奇怪。最近出现了一些影像学参数，如临界肩角，与退行性肩袖撕裂的存在有关。然而，它们对术后结果的真正影响尚不清楚。虽然影像学参数因其客观性而始终是外科医生术前评估的关键部分，但我们必须记住，我们最终治疗的是患者，而不是 X 光片。
