Repair of Full-Thickness Supraspinatus Tear: A Case With MR Study

A supraspinatus tear is the most common malady of the shoulder that appears in my orthopedic practice. The supraspinatus muscle provides stability to the glenohumeral joint and is a frequent source of pain and disability. Supraspinatus tears are often accompanied by adjacent structural deficits. Optimization of tendon architecture, restoration of pain-free range of motion, and implementation of strength training exercise are the goals of my treatment plan.
