Evaluating National Imaging Guidelines for Rotator Cuff Assessment After Shoulder Dislocation in Adults Aged 40–60 Years
This study highlights the high rate of imaging-detected rotator cuff tears following shoulder dislocation in patients aged 40-60 years, yet a very low rate of surgical intervention. A more symptom-guided imaging strategy may improve clinical relevance and reduce unnecessary use of advanced imaging resources.
