Recycled Water. To meet future water demands while reducing dependence on imported water, the City of San Diego built the North City Water Reclamation Plant and the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant. These plants treat wastewater to a level that is approved for irrigation, manufacturing and other non-drinking, or non-potable purposes. Recycled water gives San Diego a dependable, year-round and locally controlled water resource.
The supraspinatus tendon is the muscle that connects the scapula to the humerus in the rotator cuff. This tendon creates a tight fit between the ball and socket of the shoulder joint. It runs along the top of the shoulder and is about as wide as a thumb.
Hidden and missed shoulder pathology can be one reason for failed shoulder surgery. The supraspinatus is the most commonly torn portion of the rotator cuff so other parts of the rotator cuff may not receive the required scrutiny. A recent study found subscapularis tears to be present in 37% of rotator cuff tear cases. The subscapularis is the most powerful portion of the rotator cuff responsible for over 50% of total rotator cuff strength.
