- Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between shoulder complex pathologies and cervical disc herniations. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively included 524 patients with both dominant extremity shoulder and neck magnetic resonance examinations obtained from the information processing unit of Duzce University Faculty of Medicine between 01.08.2009-01.08.2023. The results were compared in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: A total of 524 patients, 153 (29.2%) males and 371 (70.8%) females, with a mean age of 51.17±13.70 (range, 13-93) years, were included in the study. According to the statistical analysis of our study, 410 of the participants had supraspinatus pathology, 234 had infraspinatus pathology, 243 had subscapularis pathology and 11 had teres minor pathology. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between other shoulder pathologies and herniations at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 disc level (p<0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, even if there is a significant relationship between cervical disc herniations and shoulder pathologies, different methods should be developed for treatment algorithms and pain management. Evaluation of the cervical region should not be neglected in patient groups with shoulder pathologies.
