Abstract :

 To evaluate role of USG and MRI in rotator cuff injuries. Method and Materials: 50 patients with clinically suspected rotator cuff pathology underwent X–ray, ultrasonography and MRI of the affected shoulder. Ultrasound findings were compared with gold standard MRI. Results: The accuracy in detection of full thickness tear was 72% and 76% for ultrasonography and MRI respectively. Conclusion: ultrasound should be considered as initial investigation in rotator cuff injuries followed by MRI in doubtful cases.
