Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Supraspinatus tendon tears are measured using arthroscopy findings and comparing to the magnetic resonance image and ultrasonography. Tears are classified as tendinopathy, partial tears or full thickness tears.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Level of pain is measured using the visual analogue scale after performing the empty can test (Jobe test)<br> 2. Correlation of the location and size of the supraspinatus lesion with the clinical tests is measured using arthroscopy findings<br>
