Male, 69 years old. Biceps tendon rupture Evaluation is limited by patient motion artifact.ROTATOR CUFF: Although we see no full-thickness fluid-filled rotator cuff tear, the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons appear slightly thinned, likely reflecting chronic attritional tearing. The supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles appear normal. The teres minor and subscapularis tendons and muscles are intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: Mild osteoarthritis affects the acromioclavicular joint. There is no frank fluid in the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: Moderate osteoarthritis affects the glenohumeral joint, and there is a moderate-sized joint effusion. Foci of intermediate signal intensity within the subscapular recess likely represents synovitis. There is degeneration and fraying of the inferior and posterior labrum. The anterior labrum is partially detached from the glenoid. Small cysts along the glenoid likely reflect additional tearing of the labrum.BICEPS TENDON: There is fluid in the biceps tendon sheath, likely representing a combination of fluid from the glenohumeral joint and synovitis. Otherwise, the proximal biceps tendon appears normal.
1.Osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint with a joint effusion and labral degeneration and tearing.2.Fluid and possible synovitis within the biceps tendon sheath, but the tendon of the long head of the biceps otherwise appears intact.3.Thinning of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons may represent chronic attritional tearing, but we see no full-thickness rotator cuff tear.4.Mild osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint.
