The impact of supraspinatus tear on subscapularis muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration by Su Cheol Kim, Seung Jin Yoo, Je Hyeong Jo, Jong Hyun Lee, Eugene Baek, Sang Min Lee, Jae Chul Yoo

“…Results The prevalence of subscapularis MAFI (Goutallier grade 1 or 2) was 73.9% (113/153), of which the prevalence of Goutallier grade 2 was 23.5% (36/153). From multivariable logistic regression analysis, female sex (odds ratio [OR], 5.6; 95% CI, 1.7–18.6; P=0.005), older age (OR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0–1.1; P=0.052), advanced supraspinatus MAFI by Goutallier grade (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5–6.9; P=0.004), and synovitis (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.1–7.9; P=0.030) were identified as independent predisposing factors for subscapularis MAFI. …”
