Objective:
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.
Conclusion:
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.
