Magnetic resonance imaging- Right shoulder
MRI scan of the right shoulder was performed with this department’s rotator cuff tendon protocol.There is full thickness (complete) tear at the junction of supraspinatus tendon and infraspinatus tendon. It measures 7.7 mm AP x 9.8 mm proximal to distal. There is no retraction of myotendinous junction. A separate longitudinal tear measuring 5.7 mm in length is identified at infraspinatus myotendinous junction. There is severe supra and infraspinatus tendinopathy. The long head of biceps tendon is intact and normal in appearance. The subscapularis tendon is intact and normal in appearance.
There is a small effusion in subacromial subdeltoid bursa communicating with the shoulder joint through the rotator cuff defect.
This exam was not optimized to assess the glenoid labrum; however, no obvious labral pathology is detected. There is severe osteoarthritis at the acromioclavicular joint.
Impression
Intermediate sized full thickness tear at junction of supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. Severe supraspinatus tendinopathy. Severe infraspinatus tendinopathy associated with small tear in myotendinous junction. Small to intermediate sized shoulder joint effusion communicating with subacromial subdeltoid

The purpose of this essay is to describe structure and function of the tendon, present a discussion on the process of pathophysiological Tendinopathy and provide a review of known intervention used to manage or treat both acute and chronic tendinopathies. Tendons act to serve a connective tissue linking muscle to bony attachment points and in the case of the intermediate tendons that will act to link a muscle belly to another (Benjamin and Kaiser, et al). Tendons are a uniaxial and assist in force transmission thus being able to withstand external forces from multiple planes and angles (Kannus, 2008). Tendons are also responsible for storage of power and changes in the mechanical energy of the body of which in turn reduces muscular work by

(Mayo Clinic Staff) Patellar tendinitis is a common overuse injury, caused by repeated stress on the patellar tendon. The stress results in tiny tears in the tendon, which the body attempts to repair. But as the tears in the tendon multiply, they cause pain from inflammation and weakening of the tendon. When this tendon damage persists for more than a few weeks, it is then called tendinopathy. (Mayo Clinic Staff) Trying to work through

Conventionally, jumper’s knee can be noted as a patellofemoral pain syndrome. The teno-osseous junctions, where the attachments of the quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon occur, are the impacted areas under this condition. The described patellar pain affects the quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon inserted either into the tibial tuberosity or the patella (Curwin and Stanish, 1984). Thus, by definition, histologically, jumper’s knee

Shoulder subluxation is the partial dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in the shoulder (Kumar et al., 1623). The glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint, is the ball and socket joint that connects the humerus bone with the scapula (Peterson, 634). Since the shoulder joint gives up stability for mobility, shoulder subluxation can occur from trauma, surgery or chronic instability (Peterson, 634). The persistent problem of shoulder subluxation leads to physicals therapists choosing a specific treatment for this issue. Ultrasound therapy has been shown to be effective in treating patients with subluxation in their shoulder.
