1. MR appearance of the repaired rotator cuff varies with time. 2. Patterns of rotator cuff repair failure are highly dependent on repair techniques. 3. Postoperative rotator cuff tears may not correlate with clinical outcomes.

1. Open versus arthroscopic repair techniques, principles of postoperative healing and failure 2. Retear patterns, MR imaging findings and pitfalls in partial versus full thickness repairs, change in postoperative tendon appearance over time, diagnostic performance of conventional MR versus MR arthrography 3. MR - arthroscopic correlation case examples 4. Review of functional and clinical outcomes
