Tendon Insertion: not tendinosis This is a normal tendon showing the expected anisotropic insertion.

Infraspinatus Muscle Glenoid Labrum Humeral Head

Glenoid Cortex Humeral Head Effusion

Adipose Tissue Posterior Deltoid Muscle Infraspinatus Muscle Effusion Glenoid Tubercle Humeral Head

Anterior over biceps tendon at the level of the humeral head Biceps tendon (longitudinal) as it emerges from its origin in the glenohumeral joint to enter the rotator cuff interval

Anterior Greater Tuberosity Greater Tuberosity Humeral Head Supraspinatus Tendon

Greater Tuberosity Middle Facet Footprint of Infraspinatus/Supraspinatus

Anterior Facet (Supraspinatus Insertion) Middle Facet (Interdigitated Supraspinatus-Infraspinatus Insertion)—this combined insertion stretches from the anterior part of the greater tuberosity, where most of the fibers are from the supraspinatus, to the posterior part of the middle facet where most of the fibers are from the infraspinatus. In the center of this attachment complex fibers from supraspinatus and from infraspinatus interdigitate, and the tendons cannot be distinguished.
