MRI of normal shoulder intratendinous signal MRI of rotator cuff full-thickness tear. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound [46] are comparable in efficacy and helpful in diagnosis, although both have a false positive rate of 15–20%. [47] MRI can reliably detect most full-thickness tears, although very small pinpoint tears may be missed.
The infraspinatus and teres minor fuse near their musculotendinous junctions, while the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons join as a sheath that surrounds the biceps tendon at the entrance of the bicipital groove. [3] The supraspinatus is most commonly involved in a rotator cuff tear.
For musculo-skeletal aspects THI has not been used that much, although this method features some useful potential. For example, for the still tricky discrimination between the presence of a hypoechoic defect and/or loss of the outer tendon convexity/non-visualization of the tendon, that is between partial- and full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
The rotator cuff can cause pain in many different ways including tendonitis, bursitis, calcific tendonitis, partial thickness tears, full thickness tears or mechanical impingement. [5] Tendinitis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome can be treated with tendon repair and the Mumford procedure or acromioplasty. [citation needed]
A partial tear is when the tendon is thinned, but still connected to the bone. Full-thickness tears can be separated into two classes: a full-thickness incomplete tear or a full-thickness complete tear. The incomplete tear is characterized by having only a portion of the tendon disconnected from the bone, where the complete tear has the tendon ...
The success rate for repairing isolated SLAP tears is reported between 74-94%. [10] While surgery can be performed as a traditional open procedure, an arthroscopic technique [11] is currently favored being less intrusive with low chance of iatrogenic infection.

MRI showing subacromial impingement with partial rupture of the supraspinatus tendon, but no retraction or fatty degeneration of the supraspinatus muscle. Impingement syndrome can be diagnosed by a targeted medical history and physical examination , [ 11 ] [ 12 ] but it has also been argued that at least medical imaging [ 13 ] (generally X-ray ...
