picture of rotator cuff
A rotator cuff is a structure formed by the connection of an articular capsule of the shoulder joint with attachments of tendons ending at:
 | tuberculum majus |
m. supraspinatus
m. infraspinatus
m. teres minor
| tuberculum minus |
m. subscapularis
In childhood the particular muscles of the rotator cuff can be
differentiated. In maturity these muscles are fusing, and it is not possible to
differentiate the particular muscles in the cuff.
