In failure of the rotator cuff tendon, interference with its function prevents the rotator cuff from fulfilling its physiologic role. Trauma in younger individuals, calcifying tendinitis, degenerative changes of cuff tendon, and partial- or full-thickness tears cause cuff failure intrinsically. Degenerative changes constitute the most frequent cause of cuff failures and correlate with tendon tearing. An acromial spur, long coracoid process, subacromial bursitis, and thickening of the corocoaromial ligament causes cuff failure extrinsically.
在肩袖肌腱损伤时，其功能受到干扰，导致肩袖无法发挥其生理作用。年轻个体的创伤、钙化性肌腱炎、肩袖肌腱的退行性改变以及部分或全层撕裂，本质上都会导致肩袖损伤。退行性改变是肩袖损伤最常见的原因，且与肌腱撕裂相关。肩峰骨刺、喙突过长、肩峰下滑囊炎以及喙肱韧带增厚则会外在地导致肩袖损伤。
