Diagnostic characteristics of the RC tear and FTRC tear model vs. no tear

Characteristic RC tear group FTRC tear group
Sensitivity 57% 60%
Specificity 80% 77%
Positive predictive value 78% 74%
Negative predictive value 60% 65%
Diagnostic odds ratio 5.40 5.02

Rotator cuff (RC) tear group model consists of the combination of inferior cortical acromial sclerosis, lateral acromial spur and greater tubercle cysts

Full-thickness rotator cuff (FTRC) tear group model consists of the combination of inferior cortical acromial sclerosis, lateral acromial spur, superior migration, and greater tubercle cysts
