Rotator Cuff Tears, Middle Glenohumeral Ligament, Arthroscopic Anatomy
Brief summary
The main aim and scope of this study is making observation and comparing the difference in the tear position in the patients suffered form rotator cuff tear with different arthroscopic anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament. The results may identify the influence of the middle glenohumeral ligament anatomy type on the rotator cuff tear.
Interventions

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The arthroscopic tear position (Anetrior/Middle/Posterior) | During the surgery | The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor. |
