description | BACKGROUND: The value of radiological measurements of subcoracoid impingement such as the coracohumeral interval in predicting subscapularis tendon injuries is controversial. We aimed to assess the relationship between radiological measurements of subcoracoid impingement and subscapularis tendon lesions in young and middle-aged adults. METHODS: This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study. Patients between the ages of 18–55 years without a history of shoulder surgery or major trauma were included and patients with arthritis, instability, or retracted rotator cuff tears were excluded from the study. Magnetic resonance images were evaluated and patients were grouped into two according to the subscapularis tendon condition: normal or pathologic. Glenoid version, axial coracohumeral distance, coracoglenoid angle, coracoid index, sagittal coracoid-glenoid tubercule distance, and axial coracoacromial inclination-glenoid version difference were measured for all patients. Measurement findings were compared between the groups. Correlation analysis was performed for age and radiologic measurements. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. RESULTS: A total of 298 patients, 107 women (35.1%) and 191 men (64.9%), with a mean age of 34.46 ± 10.10 years (range, 18–55 years) were examined in the study. Subscapularis tendon pathology was noted in 85 patients (28.5%). The diagnosed pathologies were tendinosis in 48 patients (56.5%), partial tears in 28 (32.9%), and full thickness tears in 9 (10.6%). A significant relationship was observed between increasing age and subscapularis tendon lesions (p = 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between subscapularis pathology and calculated measurements. Axial coracohumeral distance and coracoglenoid angle measurements showed a statistically significantly negative correlation with age. A positive correlation was found between axial coracohumeral distance and coracoglenoid angle measurements (p < 0.001) and also between glenoid version and coracoid index measurements (p = 0.004). Axial coracohumeral distance and coracoglenoid angle measurements showed a negative correlation with glenoid version and coracoid index measurements (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the coracohumeral distance and coracoglenoid angle decreased and the incidence of subscapularis tendon lesions increased as the age progressed. However, no relationship was found between radiological measurements and subscapularis tendon lesions. |
