Preoperative humeral computed tomography may be a useful indicator of low bone mineral density in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair
Preoperative CT-derived HU values, particularly at the GT, have a moderate correlation with systemic T-scores and BMD in patients with rotator cuff tears. Given the lower HU values observed at the anchor insertion sites (GT and lateral regions), clinicians should consider the risk of bone fragility during surgical planning.
