Left shoulder pain The examination is limited by motion and by the patient's body habitus.ROTATOR CUFF: There is increased signal of the supraspinatus tendon particularly near its insertion on the greater tuberosity. This likely reflects tendinopathy with interstitial or partial thickness tearing although no discrete full-thickness tear of the rotator cuff is identified. There is a similar appearance of the infraspinatus tendon although again no discrete full-thickness tear is appreciated. There is tendinopathy of the supraspinatus tendon without evidence of full-thickness tear. There is no significant muscle atrophy.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: Mild hypertrophic changes of the acromioclavicular joint noted.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: There is increased signal of the anterior inferior labrum suggesting tearing but no full-thickness detachment is appreciated. There is loss of the articular cartilage of the glenohumeral joint and subchondral cystic changes noted at the insertion of the rotator cuff on the greater tuberosity.BICEPS TENDON: Mild amount of fluid is seen surrounding the biceps tendon which is otherwise intact.

Limited examination secondary to motion artifact and the patient's body habitus. There is suspected high-grade partial-thickness articular surface tearing of the supraspinatus superimposed upon severe tendinopathy. Similar tendinopathic changes of the infraspinatus are also noted without evidence of discrete full-thickness tear. Additional findings are described above.
