Background: Synovitis of the shoulder causes pain; however, it is difficult to accurately determine the area and degree of synovitis from preoperative images. This study investigated the correlation between intraoperative arthroscopic findings and preoperative power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) findings for synovitis evaluation
Methods: Forty patients (mean age = 62.0 years; 24 men and 16 women) underwent arthroscopic surgery for partial rotator cuff tears. Three observation areas were evaluated: rotator interval (RI), subacromial bursa, and bicipital groove. The Doppler flow areas and PDUS grade were measured one day before surgery. Arthroscopic findings were visualized intraoperatively and classified into 3 groups: pale, pink, and red. The correlation between the arthroscopic classification and PDUS findings was analyzed
Results: The correlation between intraoperative arthroscopic classification and preoperative PDUS findings, Doppler flow area and PDUS grade, was high for the RI (r = 0.82, 0.70). There was no correlation for the subacromial bursa (r = 0.01, -0.02) and the bicipital groove (r = -0.03, 0.3)
Conclusion: Hypervascularity findings in the PDUS were highly correlated with arthroscopic color classification in the RI. Therefore, visualization of hypervascularity in the RI area could be a reliable measure for the assessment of glenohumeral synovitis in patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tear
