What could be going on? You may have a rotator cuff tendon tear. The rotator cuff is made up of four muscle-tendon units: the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor.

Published results showed delaminated rotator cuff tears had significantly greater tendon retraction and a higher amount of fatty muscle infiltration of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Philipp ...

Anatomical review A normal anatomy of the rotator cuff consists of four muscle-tendon units including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis.
