and external rotations
anatomic structures – Acromio-Clavciular joint
Anatomy
• lateral end of the clavicle and
acromion process of scapula
• cart ligneous intra articular disk
• joint is wider anteriorly then
posteriorly
sonography – Acromio-Clavciular (AC) joint
Sonography

• if instability is suspected dynamic
maneuver bilaterally
• ipsilateral to contralateral comparison in
neutral position is routine
Sonography – internal rotation AC joint
Sonography
• AC joint space closes
• slight superior bulging of capsule
• no fluid “fountain” should appear
• minimal caudal/cephalid translation
Sonography – internal rotation AC joint
Sonography
• AC joint space closes
• slight superior bulging of capsule

• minimal caudal/cephalid translation
Sonography – internal rotation AC joint
Sonography
• AC joint space closes
• slight superior bulging of capsule
• no fluid “fountain” should appear

anatomic structures -supraspinatus
Supraspinatus Tendon/Muscle
• muscle arises from the supraspinatus fossa of the
scapula
• passes beneath the acromion and attaches to the
greater tuberosity of the humerus
• slides beneath the subdeltoid subacromial bursa
(SDSA)
• responsible for abduction of the arm
Crass
Sonography
Crass
Modified Crass
Middleton
• tendon is evaluate in SAX & LAX
• two positions Crass and modified Crass or Middleton
•SAX & LAX of tendon and muscle sweeps from M/T
junction through insertion point in both Crass and
Middleton position
• superior margin is the coracoacromial ligament
sonography – supraspinatus SAX
Technique
• SAX and LAX in both positions
• Middleton position demonstrates
cuff interval best
• capture stills and clips from
coracoacromial ligament through
insertion on the greater tuberosity
• always adjust for anisotropy!
sonography – supraspinatus LAX
Technique
• SAX and LAX in both positions
• Middleton position demonstrates
cuff interval best
• capture stills and clips from
coracoacromial ligament through
insertion on the greater tuberosity

modifications to Crass position
Technique
• patients with rotator cuff disease
have trouble with Crass position
• minimal position is to get arm with
dorsal hand resting on lower back
sonography – supraspinatus LAX
Technique
• SAX and LAX in both positions
• Middleton position demonstrates
cuff interval best
• capture stills and clips from
coracoacromial ligament through
insertion on the greater tuberosity
• always adjust for anisotropy!

modified Crass SAX - advantage
Technique • SAX rotator cuff interval
• occasionally helps visualize cuff
more completely
• routinely completed in adjunct with
Crass
• MUST FOR PATHOLOGY
DETERMINATION!
supraspinatus – tendon insertion
Tendon fiber insert perpendicular to bone
• enthesis – insertion of tendon into bone
• do not mistake for articular cartilage or tear
• surface is smooth and non-articular
supraspinatus – deltoid shelf
common area for fluid to
collect in the subdeltoid
(yellows arrows)
• MUST be included in any
LAX view of supraspinatus
•
•
supraspinatus – deltoid shelf
supraspinatus insertion
ends at the greater
tuberosity (yellows arrows)
• any anatomy beyond
this point is likely the
subdeltoid-subacromial
bursa (SDSA)

SONOGRAPHY – SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT
SUPRASPINATUS
Sonography
• transducer LAX over acromion

thumb

necessary

scapula

laterally
• slides beneath the subdeltoid subacromial bursa
(SDSA)
• primary external rotator of shoulder.
Sonography
• tendon is evaluate in LAX unless directed
• LAX sweep
• Note is made of atrophy in cases of suspected
neurologic deficit
sonography – infraspinatus LAX
Technique
• LAX only
• patient is asked to put their arm in
a “sling”
• external rotation until tendon
covers glenohumeral joint posteriorly
• cine clips only if normal
sonography – posterior glenoid labrum
Technique
• transducer slides slightly inferior and medial to the
infraspinatus tendon.
• palm up and the arm is moved from full adduction in
90degree external rotation
• clip of humeral head slip over labrum
• observe humeral head slip and relationship to glenoid
labrum
anatomic structures – posterior glenoid labrum
Posterior glenoid labrum
• fibrous attachment of the glenohumeral ligaments
and capsule to the glenoid rim
• majority of labrum not readily accessible by
ultrasound (primary MRI)
• posterior labrum imaged with shoulder
• primary external rotator of shoulder.
Sonography
• tendon is evaluate in LAX unless directed
• LAX sweep
• Note is made of atrophy in cases of suspected
neurologic deficit
anatomic structures – spinoglenoid groove
Posterior spinoglenoid groove/notch
• contains suprascapular nerve, artery and vein
• common site for fluid collection or paralabral cyst
following posterior labrum tear
Sonography
• groove is evaluated in LAX unless directed
• suprascapular vein may dilate with internal rotation
sonography – spinoglenoid notch/groove
Technique
• transducer slides slightly medial and
is turned clockwise 15 degrees from
