Accuracy of diagnostic ultrasound based in community or as part of a specialist hospital-based service

Brief summary

After comparing ultrasound study of rotator cuff injuries that have been evaluated both in the community and in a hospital-based ultrasound service with actual surgical findings, it is expected that specialist performed imaging and evaluation will be most accurate and that those performed in the community will be not accurate enough.
