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

USG is a great screening alternative due to its cost-effectiveness, noninvasiveness, and easy accessibility. However, when it comes to identifying the anatomical regions that need surgical repair, MRI is superior.
