We report on the postoperative assessment of 287 arthrographic findings, including 21 with subscapular tendon injuries. Two hundred and seventeen were male (207 cases), 70 were female (66 cases), with an average age of 52.6 years.Five arthrogram projections were assessed: antero-posterior view in both the external and internal rotated positions axillary lateral view, scapular lateral view and bicipital groove view.Our cirteris for diagnosing a subscapular tendon tear was the extreavasatin of dye into the subcoracoid burase and intravasation of dye into tye subscapular tendon.Sensitivity was 14% and specificity 98% in the antero-poster view, 80% and 92% in the axillary view, 43% and 66% in the scapular lateral view, 85% and 97% in bicipital groove view.These results showed that axillary and bicipital groove views are useful in diagnosing subscapular tendon injuries.
