Figure 7b.  Diagramatic (A) and arthroscopic (B) views of a massive, ?retracted? rotator cuff tear.  (B) Arthroscopic view of a massive, retracted rotator cuff tear from above.  The attachment site is out of the picture to the right, the glenoid socket is in view in the center of the picture.  Blue sutures have been placed through the cuff edge, which must be used to repair the cuff by margin convergence and re-cover the humeral head (lower right of the photo).
