Intraobserver reliability (repeatability) for Goutallier grade was excellent for all 3 sections and 4 rotator cuff muscles (range: 0.83-0.97). There was a moderate to strong positive correlation of Goutallier grades between sections 1 and 3 and between sections 2 and 3 and these were ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
