What is the purpose of the supraspinatus?

The supraspinatus muscle functions to initiate abduction and depress the humeral head against the upward pull of the deltoid. The muscle and tendon travel slightly obliquely from posterior to anterior, allowing it to contribute to external rotation as well.

Is supraspinatus a tendon or muscle?

In the most lateral cross section, near the humeral insertion, the supraspinatus is entirely tendon from the anterior (left) to posterior portion of the structure.

Why is supraspinatus most commonly injured?

With physical therapy it takes patients up to 4 months to recover. The goal of a surgery is to obtain pain relief, increased range of motion and increased power.

Is supraspinatus tear painful?

The tear can be partial or full-thickness. Pain, loss of range of motion and weakness is the 3 most common symptoms. Supraspinatus tears can be managed conservatively, with NSAID’s and physiotherapy, as well as surgically to repair the tear.

How long does it take for a supraspinatus tear to heal?

It takes six to eight weeks for the tendon to heal to the bone. Complete recovery time varies by size of the tear. For a small tears, full recovery time is about four months, for large tears, six months. For severe, massive tears, a complete recovery can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months.
