MR of the Rotator Cuff and Impingement including Postoperative Cuff

Refresher/Informatics

Presented on December 3, 2013
Presented as part of RC404: Current Imaging of the Shoulder: Rotator Cuff and Glenohumeral Joint Instability including Normal Variants, Pitfalls, Controversies, and Postoperative Challenges

Participants

Michael Brian Zlatkin MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Understand the anatomy of the rotator cuff including the subjacent bony structures that make up the coracoacromial arch, as well as the concept of the rotator cuff footprint. 2) Become familiar with the pathophysiology of rotator cuff disease including classic Neer type extrinsic impingement and other forms of impingement that result in rotator cuff injury. 3) Learn how to classify rotator cuff tears, and their various stages, both partial and complete. 4) Understand the various surgical and arthroscopic techniques used to treat rotator cuff lesions and impingement, and the resultant postoperative anatomy, both bony and soft tissue. 5) Recognise recurrent rotator cuff lesions in the postoperative state.
