New predictors for subscapularis tear: Coraco-lesser tuberosity angle, lesser tuberosity angle, and lesser tuberosity height

ConclusionOur findings confirmed associations between new predictors (CLA and LTA) and SC tears. CLA and LTA values were greater in patients with SC tears than in controls, suggesting that they may be independent risk factors for SC tear onset.Level of evidenceIV, retrospective study.
