Figure 1: Graphical reconstructions of the humeral head. (a) The dense tubular arranged trabeculae formed the subchondral bone texture at the top of the head. Note the few connecting trabeculae. (b) The shift from plate-like trabeculae forming the greater tuberosity toward the center of the head is abrupt. (c) The wave-like remnants of the epiphyseal scar separates the subchondral bone from the trabeculae at the center of the head. (d) This section demonstrates the complex trabecular bone texture underneath the "footprint" of the rotator cuff tendons
