A member asked:
Does a torn rotator resemble avascular necrosis on an mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A torn rotator cuff primarily involves the rotator cuff tendons whereas avascular necrosis involves the humeral head (top of the long bone of the upper arm). Each disease has certain features on mri.
