The Natural History of Asymptomatic Rotator Cuff Tears: A Three-Year Follow-up of Fifty Cases
Stefan Moosmayer, MD, PhD1; Rana Tariq, MD2; Morten Stiris, MD3; Hans-Jørgen Smith, MD, PhD4
Conclusions:
During a relatively short-term follow-up, a substantial percentage of asymptomatic rotator cuff tears became symptomatic and underwent anatomic deterioration. Increase in tear size and decrease of muscle quality were correlated to the development of symptoms. Subjects diagnosed with an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear should be informed about the natural history of the condition and follow-up with repeated imaging may be indicated to monitor tear progression.
Estaba cregut que la evolucio de una ruptura no era tant segura com es preveia ( Gerber).
