I was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff after a fall. An arthrogram and MRI was done. When the dye was injected for the arthrogram, the Doctor and I both watched it leak out and he said that I had a tear. The MRI also showed a large tear, apwhere there should have been tendon. Surgery was done 2 weeks ago but the surgeon said that he could only find a small tear with some irritation. My question is how could the MRI and arthrogram be so off or did my doctor miss something.. I started passive physical therapy but the therapist and I feel a catching or a popping when he moves my shouler and that pop is painful. I'm very curious how an MRIcould show one thing and the surgeon couldn't find it. Thanks
