Abrasion of the superficial fibers of the supraspinatus tendon: A) diagram; B) arthro-CT coronal view of the supraspinatus tendon; C) coronal US scan of the supraspinatus tendon. The tear has spared the fibers of the distal tendon (arrow) which inserts on the greater tuberosity (arrowhead). Note the depth of the abrasion and the persisting tense deep string (*) suggesting lack of communication with the joint and therefore absence of full-thickness tear.
