Discussion: – anatomy of rotator cuff – Assessment of Cuff Tear: – partial tear – crescent tear – single tear pattern – minimal medial retraction – allows straight forward repair – U shaped tear – crescent-shaped tear with significant central medial retraction (medialization can approach glenoid rim) – requires convergence repair; – L shaped tear … Read more
