Meanings of supraspinatus tendon in English

On the other hand only arthrography or arthroscopy can verify the diagnosis of a ruptured supraspinatus tendon.

Purpose: Distinct characteristics of acromial morphology seem to be one factor for the development of degenerative supraspinatus tendon tears.

Conclusions: The hypothesis that the acromial morphology of patients with degenerative supraspinatus tendon tears differs from patients with traumatic tears was confirmed.

Three partial and four complete tears of the supraspinatus tendon and two partial and two complete tears of the infraspinatus tendon were seen.

The hypothesis of the present study was that the acromial morphology of patients with degenerative supraspinatus tendon tears differs from patients with traumatic tears.

In patients with unilateral tears, a full-thickness rupture of the supraspinatus tendon was found in 67%, whereas a partial-rupture was detected in 33%.

A total of 44 male Sprague-Dawley rats (477 ±39 g) were used to evaluate the effect of dry needling on healthy supraspinatus tendon properties.
