It seems only the anterior supraspinatus tendon is intact. The remainder is
torn and markedly retracted, but takes a fantastic voyage….scarring onto
a chronic “Novel” lesion of the Infraspinatus (a tear of the Infraspinatus
myotendinous junction). If you follow the arrows in the BLO (ax obl)
series, you see the retracted supraspinatus tendon dipping under the
scapular spine and fusing to the chronic retracted infraspinatus Novel
lesion. There is marked tendinosis of the infraspinatus inserting onto the
greater tuberosity. What do we call this? A Novel-Novel lesion?
