Rotator Cuff –If you’re wondering why your upper arm bone doesn’t pop out of your shoulder socket on a regular basis, you have this group of muscles and tendons to thank. Unsurprisingly, rotator cuff muscles surround the shoulder joint. ...
Rotator cuff tears are either partial-thickness or full-thickness tears. Partial-thickness tears most commonly occur at the articular or bursal side of the rotator cuff tendons. Full-thickness tears often involve some degree of tendon retraction. The patient's age, baseline shoulder function, tear...
Four short muscles originate on the scapula and pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff. All of these components of the shoulder, along with the muscles of the upper body, work together to manage the stress the shoulder receives as you extend, fle...
