Biceps tendon
the arm is slightly externally rotated with the
forearm in a supinated position resting on the thigh
The tendon is initially examined in a transverse
plane from the level where it emerges beneath the
acromion to the musculotendinous junction. The
transducer is then rotated 90° to examine the
tendon in a longitudinal plane.
Subscapularis tendon
further externally rotated
The transducer is initially placed in a transverse
orientation at the level of the lesser tuberosity and
moved medially along the long axis of the tendon.
The transducer is then turned 90° to view the
tendon fibers perpendicular to their long axis
Supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon
extend his or her arm posteriorly and place the
palmar side of the hand on the superior aspect of
the iliac wing with the elbow flexed and directed
toward the midline of the back
The long axis of the cuff should be evaluated from
the most lateral aspect of the greater tuberosity
where it inserts to as far medially as possible
Compress the transducer against the deltoid
muscle to detect any nonretracted tears
The transducer is then turned 90° to visualize the
cuff in a transverse (short-axis) orientation
Posterior glenohumeral joint and teres minor
tendons
resting forearm on the thigh
the transducer is placed immediately below the
scapular spine and angled slightly inferiorly
