Preoperative MRI-Derived Deltoid Morphometry and Early Pain and Functional Recovery After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Size-Normalized, Segment-Specific Analysis

The deltoid is a primary compensatory motor for shoulder elevation and may influence early recovery after rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived deltoid morphometry, normalized to humeral head diameter, is associated with e...
