Rotator interval tears are uncommon but important rotator cuff injuries. Diagnosing these tears with MRI is difficult, often requiring correlation with clinical findings.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Rotator interval tears are an uncommon subtype of rotator cuff tear.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for shoulder pain evaluation.
- Radiologists must recognize the diagnostic challenges of rotator interval tears on MRI.
