A full-thickness rotator cuff tear is characterized by a focal transmural tendon discontinuity, which results in a connection between the glenohumeral joint and the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa. Location.
Types of torn rotator cuffs include: Partial: With an incomplete or partial tear, your tendon still somewhat attaches to your arm bone. Complete: With a full-thickness or complete tear, your tendon separates completely from your bone. There’s a hole or rip in your tendon.
A full-thickness tear, which usually means the tendon is torn from its insertion on the humerus (the most common injury), is repaired directly to bone. Three techniques are used for rotator cuff repair: Traditional open repair; Mini-open repair; Arthroscopic repair; Your orthopaedic surgeon can recommend which technique is best for you.
Full-thickness tear. With this type of tear, there is detachment of part of the tendon from the bone. When only a small part of the tendon is detached from the bone, it is referred to as a full-thickness incomplete tear .

Complete (or full-thickness) rotator cuff tears. A complete or full-thickness tear is much more severe. In this type of tear, the tendon is completely detached (torn away) from the bone, either fully (a full-thickness complete tear) or partly (a full-thickness incomplete tear).
The objective of this review is to synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of non-surgical and surgical treatment on the clinical and functional outcomes of elderly patients with full thickness rotator cuff tear.
It’s also called a complete tear or a full-thickness tear. It’s a common injury, especially in sports like baseball or tennis, or in jobs like painting or cleaning windows. It usually...
Front (left) and side (right) views of the tendons that form the rotator cuff. The blue arrows indicate a full-thickness tear in the supraspinatus tendon, the most common location for rotator cuff tears.
A full-thickness rotator cuff tear is a complete tear of the tendon – in which it tears either off from its insertion at the bone or transversely (across) through the tendon itself. This is most often a nontraumatic (chronic) rotator cuff injury, although a fall or other trauma can cause a full-thickness tear.
