The MRI scan shows a coronal oblique view of a partial-thickness bursal surface supraspinatus tear. Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain, with articular-sided tears two to three times more common than bursal-sided tears. The articular surface of the supraspinatus is intact in this image; therefore, no partial articular or full-thickness tear exists. The superior labrum is seen at the top of the glenoid with no tear. Internal impingement affects the articular surface of the rotator cuff in abduction and external rotation, causing labral tearing and partial articular-sided rotator cuff tears.
