A 33-year-old male underwent rotator cuff repair surgery but had recurrent symptoms. (a) A sagittal short tau inversion–recovery (repetition time/echo time, 4450/42 ms) image shows a small full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus (arrow). (b) T1 weighted (repetition time/echo time, 733/9 ms) coronal view shows atrophy of the infraspinatus that was present before surgery (arrow). It is controversial whether rotator cuff repair can reverse fatty atrophy in the rotator cuff muscles.
