简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US) in detecting full-thickness (a lesion that extends through both the bursal and articular part of the tendon) rotator cuff tear in patients who have sustained a proximal humerus fracture, using operative examination as the golden standard.
详细描述
Although most of the focus concerning proximal humerus fractures is on the bony structures, injuries in the musculotendinous insertion regions of the rotator cuff musculature may also need attention in the treatment. Ultrasound is a painless and non-invasive screening modality in patients with a suspected rotator cuff tear. It is a user-dependent modality and health professionals must possess the competence and training before using it. To the investigators knowledge, no studies have investigated the accuracy of ultrasound in detecting rotator cuff tears, in patients who sustained a proximal humerus fracture.

结局指标
主要结局
Full-thickness rotator cuff tear in the shoulder
时间窗: Ultrasound scan is performed once; Baseline (prior to operation which is the golden standard)
The outcome is dichotomous; yes/no and will be used to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, the negative predictive value and the positive predictive value
次要结局
- Partial-thickness rotator cuff tear in the shoulder(Ultrasound scan is performed once; Baseline (prior to operation which is the golden standard))
