Fig. 5From: Retraction pattern of delaminated rotator cuff tears: dual-layer rotator cuff repair a Intraoperative arthroscopy shows bilateral retraction of the superficial layer in a delaminated rotator cuff tear. b The illustration shows that the anterosuperior rotator cuff is detached from the greater tuberosity (red line) and the tear progressed into the cuff substance, leading to longitudinal splitting between the supraspinatus and infraspinatus (blue line). c The supraspinatus and infraspinatus in the superficial layer are retracted bilaterally (type S3) (SSP supraspinatus, ISP infraspinatus, red circle end of cuff tear, GT greater tuberosity, LT lesser tuberosity, ISP-I footprint of the infraspinatus [7], SSP-I footprint of the supraspinatus [7])Back to article page
