Implication

Challenges avascular critical zone theory in rotator cuff pathology; leaves open relevance to clinical outcomes or repair strategies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Rotator cuff of the shoulder
I
Intervention
Morphological study of the arterial pattern
O
Outcome
Vascularization of the critical zone for ruptures and calcified deposits

The critical zone of the rotator cuff is not relatively avascular, but rather represents an anastomotic zone between osseous and tendinous vessels.
