Calcific tendinitis
Calcific tendinitis, also known as calcific tendinopathy or tendonitis, is a self-limiting condition due to the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite within tendons, usually of the rotator cuff. It is a common presentation of hydroxyapatite crystal deposition disease (HADD).

Rotator cuff
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons, important in stabilizing the glenohumeral joint:
supraspinatus: abduction
infraspinatus: external rotation
teres minor: external rotation
subscapularis: internal rotation
Other structures that stabilize the glenohumeral joint in...

Subacromial impingement
Subacromial impingement is the most common form of shoulder impingement and occurs secondary to attrition between the coracoacromial arch and the underlying supraspinatus tendon or subacromial bursa, leading to tendinopathy and bursitis respectively.

Ultrasound of the shoulder
Ultrasound of the shoulder is a fast, relatively cheap, and dynamic way to examine the rotator cuff and is particularly useful in diagnosing:
shoulder impingement
shoulder instability
rotator cuff disorders
The examination requires attention to technique and appropriate patient p...

Cartilage interface sign
Cartilage interface sign, also referred to as double cortex sign, refers to the sonographic presence of a thin markedly hyperechoic line at the interface between the normally hypoechoic hyaline articular cartilage of the humeral head and an abnormally hypoechoic supraspinatus tendon. This arises...

Rotator cuff (mnemonic)
Mnemonics to recall the muscles of the rotator cuff are:
SITS
TISS
Mnemonic
S: supraspinatus
I: infraspinatus
T: teres minor
S: subscapularis
With 'SITS', recalling this order also helps remember the insertions of these muscles, with the order being superior, middle, and inferior facets ...

Acromiohumeral interval
Acromiohumeral interval is a useful and reliable measurement on AP shoulder radiographs and when narrowed is indicative of subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tear and/or tendinopathy. In patients with rotator cuff repair, a narrow acromiohumeral interval is a risk factor for re-tear 7.
