MRI was used in a systematic fashion by a single examiner trained in musculoskeletal MRI (JL) using a standardised form to determine the minimum thickness of the supraspinatus tendon and to assess for ...

Introduction The role of apoptosis in the progression of rotator cuff tendinopathy is poorly understood. The primary aim of this study was to quantify the amount of apoptosis in supraspinatus tendons ...

Patients were grouped based on anterior supraspinatus integrity – 83 patients had intact shoulders intact, and 29 patients with anterior supraspinatus tendon disruption. Overall, patients had a ...

In rotator cuff syndrome, pain while moving the arm (particularly when it is lifted up high) and when lying on the shoulder at night are the most common symptoms, as supraspinatus tendon and other ...

What is the supraspinatus tendon? The supraspinatus muscle runs along the top of the shoulder blade and inserts via the tendon at the top of the arm (humerus bone). This muscle is used to lift the ...

It is a common cause of shoulder pain that, if improperly treated or left untreated, can lead to more severe supraspinatus tendonitis, or subacromial bursitis, calcific tendonitis or in the worst ...

The most commonly affected are rotator cuff tendons, and such multifocal calcifications are localized approximately 2 centimeters from the insertion of the supraspinatus tendon, inserted into the ...

The supraspinatus muscle runs along the top of ... Injury can occur to the tendon as it inserts into the top of the shoulder on the humerus. At the time of injury apply ice. Do not apply directly ...
