Assessing cuff tear morphology. With the patient placed in the lateral decubitus position, the right arm placed in 40°-50° of abduction and 15° of forward flexion and viewing from the lateral portal, one can inspect tear morphology, which helps dictate method of reduction; this can be facilitated using a cuff grasper. In this case, a large crescent-shaped rotator cuff tear is identified.
