Reason: complete rotator cuff tear of right shoulder History: shoulder tear ROTATOR CUFF: Note made of a full-thickness tear of the anterior fibers of the supraspinatus at the level of its insertion on the greater tuberosity measuring approximately 10 mm in the AP dimension. There is approximately 6 mm of retraction of the proximal tendon fragment. There is thickening and intermediate signal intensity within the supraspinatus indicating mild to moderate tendinosis. The supraspinatus muscle appears intact. There is perhaps undersurface fraying of the articular surface fibers of the infraspinatus. No full-thickness tear or retraction is evident. The infraspinatus muscle appears intact.The subscapularis and teres minor muscles and tendons appear intact. There is thickening and intermediate signal intensity within the subscapularis indicating moderate tendinosis.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: There is a small amount of fluid within the subacromial subdeltoid bursa. Mild degenerative changes affect the acromioclavicular joint.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: The glenohumeral joint alignment is anatomic. There is heterogeneity and intermediate signal intensity within the anterior and inferior glenoid labrum likely representing degeneration/degenerative tearing within the limitations of this non arthrogram study.BICEPS TENDON: The tendon of the long head of the biceps appears intact. ADDITIONAL
Full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus with minimal retraction as described above. Undersurface fraying of the infraspinatus and rotator cuff tendinosis. Other findings as described.
