Reason: eval supraspinatus, poss tear History: left shoulder pain ROTATOR CUFF: There is a near full-thickness articular surface tear of the anterior fibers of the supraspinatus at the level of its insertion on the greater tuberosity measuring approximately 16 mm in the AP dimension. There is no significant retraction. The supraspinatus muscle appears intact. The infraspinatus muscle and tendon appear intact. The subscapularis and teres minor muscles and tendons appear intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: There is a small amount of fluid within the subacromial subdeltoid bursa which may reflect a mild bursitis or disruption of the bursal surface fibers of the supraspinatus. Mild osteoarthritis affects the acromioclavicular joint.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: The glenohumeral joint alignment is anatomic. The glenoid labrum appears intact within the limitations of this non arthrogram study. There is heterogeneity and intermediate signal intensity within the superior labrum which may reflect degeneration.BICEPS TENDON: There is thinning and intermediate signal intensity of the intra-articular portion of the tendon of the long head of the biceps indicating at least moderate tendinosis and perhaps chronic attritional tearing. The tendon otherwise appears intact.ADDITIONAL
1. Tendinosis of the rotator cuff with a near full thickness insertional tear of the supraspinatus without evidence of retraction. 2. Tendinosis of the long head of the biceps. Other findings as described.
