Abstract
- We report a case of full-thickness rotator cuff tear with operative confirmation, which was arthrographically intact. In this case, there was a discrepancy between conventional arthrography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which suggested a full-thickness tear of the rotator cuff. The cause was confirmed to be an intact synovial capsule of the shoulder joint with a torn rotator cuff.
