Abstract
The size and location of intratendinous and joint side rotator cuff tears can be diagnosed by a technique known as positional arthrography. The site and extent of the tears diagnosed preoperatively by this technique correlated well with intraoperative findings in a study group of 200 patients who underwent a combined arthroscopic and open procedure to localize, identify, and repair incomplete rotator cuff tears.
