Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in subscapularis tendon abnormalities and the importance of operator experience.

CONCLUSION: The thickness of the surrounding tissue does not affect the US results. The differentiation between tendinosis and PT tear is difficult (more prominent in less experienced user); however, because this would not change the treatment choice, shoulder US is recommended after basic training in subscapularis pathologies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, Diagnostic. PMID: 32609088 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
