This illustration depicts an anterior and cross-sectional view of a right shoulder rotator cuff tear and repair. The shoulder injury includes a disruption of the inferior AC ligament, supraspinatus full-thickness tear, posterior labral tear, and an anterior labral tear that extends into the biceps tendon. The repair of the rotator cuff tear encompasses the debridement of the labral tear, bursectomy, acromioplasty, resection of the clavicle, and fixation of the rotator cuff.
