Abstract
This study did not find any association between CSA and RCT but did show association between CSA and OA, with a 2.25 odds ratio of developing OA given the patient had a CSA below 30°. The results do not support the suggested praxis of shaving away the lateral border of the acromion to make the CSA smaller because it might increase the risk of developing OA without decreasing the risk of developing RCT. The CSA measurements showed excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability.
