MR Imaging of Complications of Loose Surgical Tacks in the Shoulder

¹ Both authors: Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Box 3808, Durham, NC 27710.

OBJECTIVE. Loose surgical tacks in the shoulder joint are a potential cause of new-onset shoulder pain after arthroscopic repair of an anterior-to-posterior lesion of the superior labrum. We report the MR imaging appearance of loose surgical tacks in this anatomic location.

CONCLUSION. MR imaging is valuable in the evaluation of postoperative shoulder pain. Synovitis is a commonly considered clinical diagnosis; our report illustrates that loose tacks are another potential complication after shoulder surgery
