Reason: rule out rotator cuff pathology History: pain and weakness with forward flexion and abduction ROTATOR CUFF: There is intermediate signal intensity within the supraspinatus indicating mild tendinosis and perhaps minimal superficial fraying at its insertion on the greater tuberosity. There is cyst formation within the underlying greater tuberosity. The supraspinatus muscle appears intact. The infraspinatus muscle and tendon appear intact. There is focal intermediate signal intensity within the distal fibers of the subscapularis likely representing mild insertional tendinosis, but we see no fluid-filled tear. The subscapularis muscle appears intact. The teres minor muscle and tendon appear intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: Small amount of fluid within subacromial subdeltoid bursa of questionable significance. There is minimal, if any, osteoarthritis affecting the acromioclavicular joint.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: The glenohumeral joint alignment is anatomic. Linear signal abnormality traverses the anterior superior labrum from the 2 to 3 o'clock position. While we cannot entirely exclude the possibility of a labral tear, this may represent a normal variant sublabral foramen. The remainder of the labrum appears normal given the limitations of a non arthrogram study.BICEPS TENDON: The tendon to long head of the biceps appears intact ADDITIONAL
Mild rotator cuff tendinosis and other findings as described above.
