Author ProfileAbstract
Our patient is a 19-year-old female who presented with left shoulder
pain. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed an articular-sided supraspinatus
tear. When the shoulder was taken out of traction and placed in 90
degrees of abduction and external rotation, we visualized the biceps
tendon directly impinging the undersurface of the supraspinatus tendon.29 Jan 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 29 Jan 2021Submission Checks Completed
