Figures 1 & 2: Shoulder Anatomy- Figure 1 demonstrates muscular landmarks, including rotator cuff attachments. The supraspinatus inserts most superiorly, followed
by the infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Figure 2 more clearly identifies the 3 joints of the shoulder (SC, AC, glenohumeral) as well as other bony landmarks
