After a short review of the use of ultrasonography to study shoulder rotator tendons, the technique of the investigation is described, as well as the main landmarks, findings indicative of complete rotator cuff tear, and limitations of ultrasonography in this indication. A number of issues concerning the preoperative workup are discussed. Results in a prospective study of 100 patients are reported. Findings upon ultrasonography, arthrography, and surgical exploration in these patients are analyzed comparatively. Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of complete rotator cuff tear (RCT) were 95% and 100%, respectively. These data show that ultrasonography is a reliable investigation for confirming, detecting, and evaluating RCT, although extensive experience with the technique is required.
在对超声检查用于研究肩部旋转肌腱的情况进行简短回顾后，描述了该检查技术、主要标志、提示肩袖完全撕裂的发现以及超声检查在此适应症中的局限性。讨论了一些关于术前检查的问题。报告了对100例患者的前瞻性研究结果。对这些患者的超声检查、关节造影和手术探查结果进行了比较分析。超声检查诊断肩袖完全撕裂（RCT）的敏感性和特异性分别为95%和100%。这些数据表明，尽管需要该技术的丰富经验，但超声检查是用于确认、检测和评估RCT的可靠检查方法。
