Subacromial bursitis was identified in 517 patients. A normal supraspinatus tendon was identified in 219 patients and supraspinatus full thickness tearing was identified in 102 patients. A normal AC joint was identified in 267 patients while degenerative AC joint changes were identified in 370 patients. A significant correlation was identified between age and rotator cuff derangement (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and between age and AC joint derangement (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).

Impingement appears to trigger a cascade of events in sequence, from isolated subacromial bursitis through to supraspinatus tendon tearing. Patterns of rotator cuff derangement are similar in men and women.\n<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11845-022-03012-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T06:02:54Z","timestamp":1652162574000},"page":"847-852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["MRI findings in atraumatic shoulder pain\u2014patterns of disease correlated with age and gender"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"192","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1664-6995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah K.","family":"Eustace","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra N.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daire J.","family":"Hurley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed H.
