US images (a–c) showing spectra of partial thickness tears. a Interstitial partial tear of LHBT. b Interstitial tear of supraspinatus tendon. c Interstitial tear of subscapularis tendon with corresponding changes in MRI images (not shown). d–f Acromial spur with subacromial impingement. d An acromial spur and supraspinatus fibres (asterisk) with shoulder in adducted position. In the abducted position (e), acromial spur is seen preventing smooth gliding of supraspinatus fibres underneath the acromion process resulting in buckling of supraspinatus fibres (acromial spur—outlined in white). T1W sagittal MRI images (f) showing an acromial spur (outlined in white) with type III acromion morphology and reduced acromio-humeral distance
