Abstract

The objective of this article is to provide a multimodality imaging review of the imaging features of the postoperative rotator cuff, including a discussion of the most common complications. Both MRI and ultrasound can be used to evaluate the repaired rotator cuff and potential complications. The appearance of the rotator cuff within the first 6 months after repair is heterogeneous and may be difficult to interpret but normalizes over time.
