See the unseen: visualizing subscapularis “hidden lesions” in mri

In rotator cuff pathology, articular-sided subscapularis (SSc) tendon tears with intact rotator intervals are also known as "hidden lesions.". The area of attachment of the subscapularis tendon to the humeral head can be partially or completely obscured by the overlying biceps tendon and pulley structures. As a result, SSc tendon tears are often visually missed in shoulder arthroscopy. MRI offers a non-invasive method of visualizing SSc tendon tears.
