Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in subscapularis tendon abnormalities and the importance of operator experience

Öz:
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the reasons behind the compliance, diagnostic success, and failure of ultrasound(US) examinations of two radiologists with reference to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the abnormalities of subscapularis (SSC) tendon, including tendinosis.Methods: One less experienced radiologist (operator-1) and one senior radiologist, experienced in the musculoskeletal US(operator-2), performed the shoulder US on 78 patients (mean age: 53.18±10.89 [22-73] years), who had undergone MRI forroutine reasons except malignancy, within 1-4 weeks of MRI. Tendinopathy, partial (PT), or full-thickness (FT) tears wererecorded in the subscapularis. The thickness of the anterior and lateral soft tissues in the shoulder girdle was measured by MRI.The inter-operator agreement on the US results, the US-MRI compliance for each operator, and the relationship between theUS-MRI compliance and tissue thickness were investigated.Results: The inter-operator agreement on the US findings was moderate. The US-MRI compliance was fair for operator-1, butsubstantial for operator-2. The circumferential soft tissue thickness and US-MRI compliance were not correlated (p>0.05).The interobserver agreement in US was moderate (K: 0.415). The US-MRI compliance was fair for operator-1 (K: 0.344) andsubstantial for operator-2 (K: 0.616). The accuracy rates for the differentiation of normal tendon, tendinosis, PT, and FT were59%, 75%, 72%, and 100%, respectively, for operator-1 and 87%, 83%, 85%, and 100%, respectively, for operator-2. However,the respective sensitivity of operator-1 was 46%, 19%, 44%, and 100%; and operator-2 was 91%, 67%, 82%, and 100%. Thediagnostic performance of operator-1 was lower, except for FT.Conclusion: The thickness of the surrounding tissue does not affect the US results. The differentiation between tendinosis andPT tear is difficult (more prominent in less experienced user); however, because this would not change the treatment choice,shoulder US is recommended after basic training in subscapularis pathologies.
