Abstract
Following anterior shoulder instability surgery, patients may present with new or recurrent symptoms. Postoperative imaging, including MR imaging, may be obtained for these patients to assess the integrity of the repaired tissues and orthopedic fixation hardware or grafts. Familiarity with different operative techniques and their expected normal appearances and complications helps in the appropriate interpretation of these imaging studies. This article provides an overview of the current treatment guidelines and surgery options for patients with anterior shoulder instability and reviews the normal and abnormal postoperative imaging appearances of the shoulder joint after treatment with the most common surgical stabilization techniques.
