| Objective To explore the diagnostic efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound, UE and MRI in rotator cuff tears caused by military training. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 patients with suspected rotator cuff tears who were admitted to the Second Navy Hospital of Southern Theater Command of PLA from February 2019 to February 2024. All patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound, UE and MRI. Shoulder arthroscopy was taken as the gold standard to evaluate the diagnostic value of the three in rotator cuff tears caused by military training. Results Among 107 patients, shoulder arthroscopy found full-thickness rotator cuff tears, partial thickness rotator cuff tears and non-rotator cuff tears in 30 cases, 49 cases and 28 cases, respectively. The corresponding number of cases found by high-frequency ultrasound was 35, 53 and 19, respectively (Kappa value=0.649). The number of cases found by UE was 34, 42 and 31, respectively (Kappa value=0.840). The corresponding number of cases found by MRI was 32, 57 and 18, respectively (Kappa value=0.727). Conclusion All of the three methods mentioned above demonstrate good efficacy in diagnosing rotator cuff tears caused by military training, and diagnostic efficacy of UE is the best. |
