In patients with unilateral full-thickness rotator cuff tear, AHD narrowing was observed on the törnekler side after evaluating the bilateral acromiohumeral distance on MRI and radiograph. AHD was significantly reduced by increasing the degree of supraspinatus tendon retraction in the coronal plane MRI and by the posterosuperior and anteroposterosuperior location of the rotator cuff tear in the sagittal plane MRI.
