Abstract

Purpose: Scapular morphology is an extrinsic factor playing role in rotator cuff tear (RCT) etiology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromion index (AI) with partial-bursal side and full thickness RCT and the size of the RCT.
