“Almost as Common as Grey Hair” Recent study from our group finds that after midlife, rotator cuff changes on MRI are almost as expected as grey hair. Now the lead author Thomas Ibounig explains the recent FIMAGE study findings in depth: www.ficebo.com/post/almost-...

The FIMAGE study was presented internationally for the first time #AAOS2026 by Thomas Ibounig. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Key message: Rotator cuff MRI “abnormalities” are present in nearly everyone over 40 — including asymptomatic shoulders.

Study from the FICEBO - Finnish Centre for Evidence-Based Orthopaedics was presented #AAOS2026. This work, led by PhD student Cyrill Suter, examines the cost‑effectiveness of surgery versus functional bracing for humeral shaft fractures and was published in JBJS. journals.lww.com/jbjsjournal/...

Listen to the JAMA Internal Medicine Author Interviews podcast episode on "Incidental Rotator Cuff Abnormalities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging" featuring Dr. Thomas Ibounig. edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learning/...

In this testing & data obsessed time, studies like this good reminder often useless & harmful! Over 40? Your rotator cuff probably looks a little rough www.sciencenews.org/article/shou... Study: "RC abnormalities nearly universal after age 40 years & routine imaging should NOT guide diagnosis..."

New study produced by FICEBO. Rotator cuff abnormalities often represent normal age-related changes rather than disease. This study questions the clinical value of routine imaging for shoulder pain jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... @alancassels.bsky.social @generalortho.bsky.social @jama.com
