About this study

The coracoacromial ligament, which is part of the coracoacromial arch, plays an important role in shoulder biomechanics, joint stability and proprioception. Age-related changes due to chronic stress and cellular impairment may contribute to thickening and stiffening of the coracoacromial ligament to rupture the rotator cuff and development of shoulder pathologies such as impingement syndrome. In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between pathologic findings and coracoacromial ligament thickness in magnetic resonance imaging in shoulder pain patients. Secondary purpose is whether the thickness of the coracoacromial ligament is indicative of shoulder pathologies.
