Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common shoulder disorders. Most of the tears involve the critical area of the supraspinatus tendon. The rotator interval tear is extremely rare. Tear in this area is important due to its relationship with shoulder instability, different clinical symptom and different management. Recently we have uneventually treated a case with rotator interval tear after a violent throwing injury. The purpose of the paper is to emphasize the clinical differences of this unusual tear.
