Diagnostic Comparison of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Detecting Rotator Cuff Tears: A Study Conducted in the Population of Vijayapura

Abstract

Background: Injuries to the shoulder and restricted range of motion often lead to decreased work productivity, increased use of medical resources, and impaired quality of life. The most frequent cause of shoulder discomfort and dysfunction is a disease related to the rotator cuff, such as bursitis, degenerative tears, and calcific tendinosis. This study evaluates ultrasonography's diagnostic efficacy in relation to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
