What is subchondral cysts in keeping with rotator cuff pathology & mild sclerotic changes? how is this treated ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The subchondrsl cyst and sclerosis actually refers to the bone that the rotator cuff attaches to. This is a more common finding as we get older (sorry) and get more of a degenerative type tear. Still able to be repaired successfully. Good luck.

Depends: Depends mostly on the involvement of the cuff. The findings you describe are chronic changes and not treated by themselves.
