Summary
This retrospective study is to investigate the influence of the Greater Tuberosity Angle (GTA) in addition to CSA on patient outcome in patients with rotator cuff tear.
Detailed description
A tear of the rotator cuff is one of the most common disorders of the shoulder. It is assumed that a large Critical Shoulder Angle (CSA) is associated with the occurrence of rotator cuff tears. This retrospective study is to investigate the influence of the Greater Tuberosity Angle (GTA) in addition to CSA on patient outcome in patients with rotator cuff tear.

| OTHER | data analysis | Data is extracted from the existing medical records and from the Rotator Cuff Repair Database (RCR\_USB). The GTA (determined as the angle between a "line parallel to the humerus diaphysis passing through the humeral head center of rotation and a line connecting the upper border of the humeral head to the most superolateral edge of the greater tuberosity") is determined. |
