A novel measurement to evaluate supraspinatus tendinopathies with strain elastography.

CONCLUSION: This study showed a good association of findings of tendon stiffness with those of tendinopathy on MRI. Using the hard ratio as a novel measurement, its correlation with MRI grade was as reliable as the STR. We also experienced that the benefit of elastography is a challenging issue for defining small ruptures. PMID: 33115244 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
