Sonographically detected subacromial/subdeltoid bursal effusion and biceps tendon sheath fluid: Reliable signs of rotator cuff tear?

Our purpose was to determine the association between sonographically detected subacromial/subdeltoid (SA/SD) bursal and biceps tendon sheath effusions and arthrographically proven rotator cuff tears.
