1. To review the anatomy and pathophysiology of the subscapularis (SSC) tendon. 2. To describe the role of different imaging techniques in the evaluation of the pathology of the SSC. 3. To correlate the point of view of radiologists and arthroscopists before and after treatment.

The subscapularis (SSC) is the largest of the 4 rotator cuff muscles. Howewer SSC tendon lesions are difficult to find specially partial ones and many authors called them "hidden lesions". We analyze this issues: - The anatomic footprint of the SSC tendon. Fuction and role in the stability of the shoulder. - Pathophisiology of SSC tendon tears - Relationship of SSC tendon tears to other shoulder lesions - Diagnosis of SSC dysfunction * The physical examination maneuvers * Review of imaging findings * Ultrasonography (US) * Computed Tomography (CT) * Conventional and arthro- MRI - New aspects of treatment of the SSC. Correlation radiology-arthrography. Images and videos. - Cases
