2023 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Association of 3D MRI volumetric assessment of rotator cuff pathology with preoperative patient reported outcomes

Association of 3D MRI volumetric assessment of rotator cuff pathology with preoperative patient reported outcomes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the limitations of the Goutelier classification system in evaluating rotator cuff pathology. They introduce a novel 3D MRI-based volumetric assessment to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the rotator cuff unit. The volumetric scores include measurements of fat infiltration, muscle size, and the relative contribution of each muscle to the rotator cuff unit. The speaker conducted a study comparing Goutelier scores to volumetric scores and their ability to predict preoperative functional disability. They found that volumetric scores had a stronger correlation with functional disability than Goutelier scores, suggesting that the novel assessment may be more effective in evaluating the rotator cuff unit as a whole.
