Abstract

Our patient is a 19-year-old female who presented with left shoulder pain. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed an articular-sided supraspinatus tear. When the shoulder was taken out of traction and placed in 90 degrees of abduction and external rotation, we visualized the biceps tendon directly impinging the undersurface of the supraspinatus tendon.
