In anatomy, the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder. Of the seven scapulohumeral muscles, four make up the rotator cuff. The four muscles are the supraspinatus muscle, the infraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle, and the subscapularis muscle. The supraspinatus muscle spreads out in a horizontal band to insert on the superior facet of the greater tubercle. The greater tubercle projects as the most lateral structure of the humeral head.

A rotator cuff tear is an injury of one or more of the tendons or muscles of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Symptoms may include shoulder pain, which is often worse with movement, or weakness. This may limit peoples’ ability to brush their hair or put on clothing. Risk factors include certain repetitive activities, smoking, and a family history of the condition

Rotator Cuff Pitfalls Mark H. Awh, . Clinical History: An orthopaedic surgeon requests an over-read of a pre-operative MRI that was presumed to be false positive, as no rotator cuff tear was found at surgery. The patient is a 54 year-old male who experienced shoulder pain following a pulling injury. 1a,1d) Fat-suppressed T2 weighted coronal obliques, (1b) fat-suppressed proton density axial, and (1c) T2-weighted sagittal images are provided.

The classical description of the rotator cuff involves a convergence of 4 tendons: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These tendons form a multiple layered horseshoe shape flattened architecture which inserts onto the humeral head. When viewed from the glenohumeral joint, the superior insertion of the rotator cuff generally appears as a thickening of the capsule (the rotator cable) surrounding a thinner area of tissue (the crescent region), which inserts into the greater tuberosity. The 1st layer comprised the superficial coracohumeral ligament. The 2nd and 3rd layers contain the tendinous fibres of the rotator cuff. The 4th and 5th layers consist of the arterioles and loose connective tissue adjacent to the bone. Although this horseshoe shaped insertion may have interdigitations between the rotator cuff tendons, Curtis et al.

The Rotator Cuff (RC) is a common name for the group of 4 distinct muscles and their tendons, which provide strength and stability during motion to the shoulder complex. They are also referred to as the SITS muscle, with reference to the first letter of their names (Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus,Teres minor, and Subscapularis, respectfully).
