Kukkonen et al in year 2014,12 it was suggested that at one-year follow-up, operative treatment is no better than conservative treatment with regard to non-traumatic supraspinatus tears, and conservative treatment should be considered as primary method of treatment for this condition.12 In a systematic review and meta analysis done by J S Roy et al in year 2015, diagnostic ultrasound was considered as best option in detecting rotator cuff tear instead of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Arthrography (MRA).13 Study also focused on the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound in diagnosing physical change and healing effects in the supraspinatus tendon after low level laser therapy and recommended exercise.
