UNASSIGNED: Background Specific findings on magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) that indicate the need for surgery in @entity1 with partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon @entity155 (PASTA) are not well understood. Purpose To determine which MRA findings are characteristic of @entity1 who undergo surgery for PASTA. Material and Methods From July 2011 to February 2014, MRA findings for @entity1 treated for PASTA were retrospectively reviewed. The @entity1 were divided into two groups: conservative treatment and surgical repair. MRA findings were compared between the groups. The following MRA results were assessed: length grade, width grade, co-existing superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions, degenerative changes in the glenohumeral joint, presence of @entity2585 , acromion type, presence of @entity2585 , and tears of the subscapularis or infraspinatus tendon within the rotator cuff. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify which MRA findings were significantly associated with surgical treatment. Results Forty-five surgically treated @entity1 and 203 conservatively treated ones were evaluated. The MRA findings showed significant differences between the groups with respect to length grade, width grade, degenerative changes in glenohumeral joint, @entity2585 , and co-existing rotator cuff tears ( P   <   0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed correlations between surgical repair and both grade 3 length tears (odds ratio, 30.8) and co-existing tears of the subscapularis or infraspinatus tendon (odds ratio, 2.9). Conclusion Surgical treatment is commonly performed in PASTA @entity1 whose lesion lengths are grade 3 or who have co-existing tears in the subscapularis or infraspinatus tendon. Radiologists should pay attention to these MRA signs when evaluating PASTA @entity1 .
