Tenderness in this region may suggest subacromial impingement or injury of the supraspinatus tendon. Subacromial impingement is caused by compression of the rotator cuff, the subacromial bursa ...

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 ...

How should her case be managed? The rotator cuff is a synthesis of the capsule of the glenohumeral joint with the tendons of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor ...

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 ...

Any tear to the tendon of the supraspinatus results in an impaired ability to complete its jobs. Tears of the supraspinatus tendon are referred to as “full-thickness,” meaning that greater ...

The primary aim of this study was to quantify the amount of apoptosis in supraspinatus tendons presenting partial-thickness tears and matched intact subscapularis tendons. Methods 9 partially torn ...

If you have diabetes and you hurt when you move, it might be due to problems with your tendons. They're cord-like bands that connect your muscles to your bones. The high blood sugar levels that ...
