Sonographic Evaluation of Shoulder Arthroplasty

¹ Both authors: Department of Radiology and Imaging, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E. 70th St., New York, NY 10021.

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to review our experience using sonography to evaluate the rotator cuff after arthroplasty. Diagnostic reliability, with respect to surgical findings, as well as subjective assessment of the examinations, including the usefulness of applications such as extended field-of-view imaging, photopic imaging, and tissue harmonic imaging, were reviewed.

CONCLUSION. We found sonography to be a useful method of imaging the rotator cuff after arthroplasty. Extended field-of-view imaging and tissue harmonic imaging aided in diagnosis by improving visualization of regional anatomic landmarks and increasing conspicuity of small tendon tears.
