Article Synopsis
- The appearance of calcific tendinitis in the rotator cuff changes with its disease stage, prompting a comparison of classification systems.
- Thirty-seven orthopedic surgeons assessed shoulder X-rays from 25 patients using Gärtner and Molé classification systems on a web-based platform.
- The study found that while both systems had fair agreement among observers, the Gärtner classification was significantly more reliable, though neither system effectively guides treatment choices.
