In-Vivo Measurement Of Subacromial Space Width During Shoulder Elevation

摘要

Background:The shoulder's subacromial space is of significant clinical interest due to its association with rotator cuff disease. Previous studies have estimated the subacromial space width to be 2-17 mm, but no study has measured in-vivo subacromial space width during shoulder motion. The purpose of this study was to measure the in-vivo subacromial space width during shoulder elevation in patients following rotator cuff repair.
