Full thickness tears are the complete disruption of the fibers of the supraspinatus muscle, and generally require a more aggressive treatment plan and surgery. These tendons have poor blood supply and will not heal themselves.
Partial tears: Also called incomplete tears, the damage experienced by the tendon does not sever it completely. Complete tears: More commonly referred to as a full-thickness tear, this injury entirely separates the tendon from the bone.

The names of these muscle-tendon components of the rotator cuff are: the supraspinatus which runs over the top of the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head); the subscapularis which runs across the front of the humeral head; and. the infraspinatus and the teres minor which run across the back of the humeral head.

A supraspinatus tear can occur in due to a trauma or repeated micro-trauma and present as a partial or full thickness tear. Most of the time the tear occurs in the tendon or as an avulsion from the greater tuberosity. The tear can be partial or full-thickness.
A partial tear goes only part of the way into the tendon. It's usually described in terms of how deep the tear is in the tendon and doesn't refer to length, width or other dimensions. A full-thickness tear is when the wear in the tendon goes all the way through the tendon.
