A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn rotator: Rotator cuff tear, full thickness with contrast seen in subdeltoid bursa and subacromial bursa indicate torn rotator cuff. Rotator cuff is made up of 4 muscles: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Subscapularis. Treatment varies depending on the location of full thickness tear. Shoulder impingement syndrome and bursitis can also accompany with rotator cuff injury.
