The Postoperative Rotator Cuff

Mohammad Samim et al. Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2020 May.

Abstract

MR imaging interpretation following rotator cuff repair can be challenging and requires familiarity with various types of rotator cuff tear, their surgical treatments, normal postoperative MR imaging appearance, and complications. This article reviews the common surgical procedures for the reparable and nonreparable massive rotator cuff tears, their expected postoperative MR imaging findings, and imaging appearance of a range of complications.

Keywords: Irreparable massive rotator cuff tear; MR imaging; Postoperative imaging; Rotator cuff tear.
