Quantitative MRI versus perioperative arthroscopy to measure stage 1 ruptures of the supraspinatus tendon for surgical planning

Accurate preoperative assessment of supraspinatus tendon tear (STT) size is important for surgical planning. Our aims were to evaluate the correlation between stage 1 STT size measured preoperatively by quantitative (q)MRI and size measured perioperatively by arthroscopy. The concordance between preoperative tear size and the surgical plan was also assessed.
