Abstract: This research explored the value of magnetic resonance proton density-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery (PDW-SPAIR) sequence in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury in female badminton players and its comparison with arthroscopic findings. 76 female badminton players treated for shoulder disease were selected and underwent magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence and arthroscopy. Through inspection and analysis, 68.42% of them were rotator cuff injuries; the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence in diagnosing patients with rotator cuff injury were 96.15%, 91.67%, and 94.74%, respectively, and compared with arthroscopic diagnosis, there was no significant difference (P>0.05). It was high consistency between magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence diagnosis of rotator cuff injury in patients with injury grading and arthroscopic diagnosis (Kappa value 0.981). The preoperative magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence rotator cuff fatty infiltration score of patients with rotator cuff injury confirmed by magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence examination was higher than that during surgery (P<0.05). This shows the magnetic resonance PDW-SPAIR sequence has high diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury in female badminton players, and its diagnosis of rotator cuff injury patients has a high consistency with arthroscopic diagnosis.
