Abstract

Knowledge of common surgical procedures for cuff repair and expected postoperative findings on various imaging techniques and potential complications are important for the imaging evaluation of the shoulder after rotator cuff repair. Radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging all play important roles in the postoperative shoulder imaging evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging has become the imaging method of choice for a comprehensive assessment of the shoulder after cuff repair.
