Summary of an evidence-based guideline on soft tissue shoulder injuries and related disorders - Part 1: Assessment
Journal of Primary Health Care, 04/22/09
Robb G et al. - Diagnostic ultrasound is a valid tool for the diagnosis of a full thickness rotator cuff tear. If a significant tear is suspected, referral for diagnostic ultrasound is recommended. There is a paucity of evidence for the diagnosis of soft tissue shoulder injuries and most recommendations are based on the consensus of the guideline team. Assessment relies on thorough history-taking and physician examination with appropriate referral where there is evidence of serious damage or the diagnosis remains unclear.
