Post-operative rotator cuff integrity, based on Sugaya’s classification, can reflect abduction muscle strength of the shoulder Article 22 June 2017 Serial structural MRI evaluation of arthroscopy rotator cuff repair: does Sugaya’s classification correlate with the postoperative clinical outcomes? Art...
Conclusion This study found that applying the Goutallier classification to more medial MRI sections (MSB-GC) resulted in assignment of lower grades for all rotator cuff muscles. Additionally, this method demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability and repeatability. Inclusion of a more medial view ...

The semi-quantitative Goutallier classification system is the most commonly used method...
Thirty-one patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and had preoperative MRI studies available were selected over a 2-year period. Three board-certified shoulder surgeons independently reviewed these images. Each was instructed in the published method for determining the Patte score on ...
