The vascular supply of the rotator cuff in 22 adult shoulders was studied by way of mixture infusion of gelatin and India ink and vascular cast, in combination with Scanning Electronic Microscopy of the vascular pattern in the supraspinatus tendon. It was found that the vessels of the supraspinatus tendon mainly derive from the anterior circumflex humeral and suprascapular arteries. Macroscopically, an avascular zone or critical zone could be seen on the surface of supraspinatus, and the mean distance of the external edge from the osteo-tendinous attachment was 7.8 mm. The area of the avascular zone increased with age.
