The humeral head may migrate upward (high-riding humeral head) secondary to tears of the infraspinatus, or combined tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. [51] The migration can be measured by the distance between: A line crossing the center of a line between the superior and inferior rims of the glenoid articular surface (blue in image).
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 ...
The clavicle and under surface of the deltoid muscle are above it. [citation needed] The tendon of the supraspinatus muscle (and its bursa) are below it. [2] Its lateral border is continuous with a dense lamina that passes beneath the deltoid muscle upon the tendons of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle.
The incomplete tear is characterized by having only a portion of the tendon disconnected from the bone, where the complete tear has the tendon completely separated off the bone. For all forms of rotator cuff tears, depending on the severity of the injury, possible treatments include rest, an arm sling, physical therapy, steroid injections, and ...
This ligament, together with the coracoid process and the acromion, forms a vault for the protection of the head of the humerus. It is in relation, above, with the clavicle and under surface of the deltoid; below, with the tendon of the supraspinatus, a bursa being interposed. [3]
The rotator interval is a triangular space in the shoulder that is functionally reinforced externally by the coracohumeral ligament and internally by the superior glenohumeral ligament, and traversed by the intra-articular biceps tendon. On imaging, it is defined by the coracoid process at its base, the supraspinatus tendon superiorly and the ...
Hollowing in the supraspinous and the infraspinous area is frequently seen as chronic rotator cuff tear resulting in wasting. [2] The wasting may be caused by the supraglenoid cyst compressing the suprascapular nerve and causes a loss of innervation to supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
