01 / WHAT MATTERS ON THE EXAM

MRI shows discontinuity and retraction of supraspinatus tendon fibers with fluid signal gap at the greater tuberosity insertion.

02 / WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Identify the labeled visual cue in the source panel before reading the source-specific note below it.

03 / WATCH OUT FOR

Supraspinatus initiates abduction, but the deltoid may still lift the arm after a tear; preserved movement does not establish tendon integrity or exclude abduction weakness.
