In addition, since the ultrasound cannot predictably penetrate through bone, it cannot provide much information about massive rotator cuff tears where the tendon edges have retracted medial to the acromial border.

This condition was described as early as 1863, when Gruber noted the presence of an os acromiale with fibrocartilaginous union of the anterior acromial ossification centers in three out of 100 cadaveric specimens (in a review by Kurtz and colleagues (2)).
