The intact rotator cuff provides dynamic stability for the glenohumeral joint through range of motion by compressing the humeral head to the center of the glenoid. Maintenance of articular congruity provides a stable fulcrum for the more forceful muscles of the shoulder girdle. Massive rotator cuff...
