Figure 1.

Preoperative MRI: A, gradient echo T2-weighted axial image (S = subscapularis muscle). The humeral head is severely subluxed posteriorly. The subscapularis tendon is completely torn and retracted (large black arrowhead). The long head of the biceps tendon (black arrow) is dislocated medially, out of the bicipital groove (small white arrowhead). Extensive, amorphous low-signal tissue in the anterior joint is compatible with hemorrhage. B, fat-saturated T2 oblique coronal image (IS = infraspinatus muscle). The infraspinatus tendon is completely torn and retracted (small white arrowhead). There is also complete rupture of the teres minor with extensive fluid and hemorrhage in its expected position (large white arrowheads).
