Male, 54 years old. Inability to move left shoulder. Rule out shoulder tear. Motion artifact markedly limits the examination.ROTATOR CUFF: Given the above limitations, there is high signal within the supraspinatus tendon which indicates at least a moderate to severe tendinosis. There is questionable intrasubstance tear within the supraspinatus tendon which is difficult to confirm. At least some of the fibers of the supraspinatus tendon are seen all the way to its attachment at the greater tuberosity. The infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis are grossly intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: No significant abnormality noted.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: The glenohumeral alignment is within normal limits. The glenoid labrum is grossly intact.BICEPS TENDON: There is nonspecific fluid around the biceps tendon. The biceps tendon is grossly intact.ADDITIONAL
Markedly limited examination due to motion. There is increased signal in the supraspinatus tendon indicating a questionable intrasubstance tear which is difficult to confirm in what is at least moderate to severe tendinosis. However, at least some of the fibers of the supraspinatus tendon are intact all the way to its attachment.
