Abstract

The rotator cable and rotator interval are among the most recent topics of interest in current shoulder literature. Most of the research has been published in the last two decades and our understanding about the importance of these anatomical structures has improved with bio-mechanical studies, which changed the pre-and intraoperative approaches of shoulder surgeons to rotator cuff tears in symptomatic patients.
