The purpose of this study was to document the incidence of lesions of the rotator interval, illustrate the arthroscopic appearance of subtle differences in these lesions, and discuss how various lesions may affect biceps tendon stability in the bicipital groove. ⋯ This study has recorded the incidence of lesions of the subscapularis, SGHL/MCHL complex and/or the LCHL, and combinations thereof in degenerative cuff and instability patients. Primary lesions of the rotator interval can occur and regardless of the associated pathology, and if these lesions are not repaired, biceps tendon subluxation may exist.
