Rotator Cuff Shoulder Anatomy
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint that sacrifices stability for mobility. The glenoid (shoulder socket) is a shallow rim. The #rotatorcuff consists of (4) muscles originating on the scapula and inserting to the superior humeral (upper arm bone) head to improve stability. The subscapularis inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus, and it functions as an internal rotator. The supraspinatus muscles insert onto the greater tubercle of the humerus with its function as an abductor for initial abduction. The infraspinatus also inserts onto the greater tubercle, inferior to the supraspinatus, and functions as an external rotator.
