Abstract
The purpose was to evaluate the relationship between GTA, CSA, and the delamination patterns of RCTs. This study included 315 patients with RCTs from 2014 to 2018, retrospectively. The subjects were divided into 5 groups: Group A, control group; Group B, non-delaminated tear; Group C, delaminated tear with equally retraction of articular and bursal layer; Group D, articular layer more retracted delaminated tear, and Group E, bursal layer more retracted delaminated tear. In conclusion, large GTA and CSA were associated with rotator cuff tears. However, there was no difference of GTA and CSA according to the delamination patterns.
