Radiological glenohumeral osteoarthritis in long-term type 1 diabetes. Prevalence and reliability of three classification systems. The Dialong shoulder study

ConclusionThe prevalence of radiological glenohumeral OA was higher in the diabetes group with the Samilson –Prieto classification systems, but not associated with clinical OA. The interrater agreement was moderate. We recommend the Samilson–Prieto Allain classification for glenohumeral OA to avoid interpretation of osteophytes<  1 mm as OA in patient groups with a low pre-test likelihood of glenohumeral OA.
