Methods Fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles were classified based on the Goutallier grade (0-4) at 3 defined sections: section 1, original Y-view; section 2, level of suprascapular notch; and section 3, 3 cm medial to the suprascapular notch on MRI scans. Six subspecialist ...
Reliability was excellent for both systems, except for FD grade of IST/TM muscles, which may be more reliably assessed using quantitative measurements. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access. Similar content being viewed by others Post-operative ...

Multivariate least squares analysis showed the GS grade to be influenced by patient age (P=0.01), LM-CSA (P=0.002), ES-CSA (P=0.002), and PM-CSA (P=0.003). Conclusions. GS shows great potential as a tool for evaluating fat infiltration in the paralumbar muscles. This measure does ...
Conclusion: In assessing fatty infiltration of the subscapularis muscle, the modified Goutallier classification showed higher reliability than the original Goutallier classification. The cutoff point for potential retear (grade 3.5) was at a point where the fatty infiltration extended to ...
Postoperative outcome measures were compared with preoperative tear size, muscle grade, and repair type to assess for correlations. Of the 30 hips included in the study, over 75% were classified as grade 1 (n= 15) or grade 2 (n= 8). The intraobserver reliability and interobserver ...
ImageJ pixel analysis software (version 1.47; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) was used independently by 2 observers to quantify the percent fat of the LM and allow correlation between LM percent fat and GCS grade. Twenty-five subject MRIs were randomly selected. Magnetic resonance ...
We did not investigate correlation with trochlear protrusion, since only five cases showed femoral trochlear dysplasia, of which only one was of grade-D severity with history of dislocation. The series, thus, essentially comprised patients presenting with pain but stability, in whom trochleoplasty ...
