You had rotary cuff surgery sept 11 2008 you still cant left your arm over your head what do you do?
make a new mri, looks like the cuff tissue is or not repaired good enough or the tissue is of bad quality and is torn again. What might be the reason of the first place to been torn. Acromion resection is something what could have been done. to prevent "hurting"the cuff.
Does an 8mm tear of rotator cuff have to be surgically repaired?
It depends if the tear is longitudinal or transversal. Also, it depends on the technique that was used to image the tendon. I had a torn tendon which in the MRI appeard to be 40 TO 50% of the width and during arthsorcopic surgery the surgeon found out that it was 80% torn. Victor Joubert
Can you see torn muscles on an x-ray?
Yes, MRI is the best imaging modality to see a torn quadriceps muscle. MRI's ability to differentiate between bone, muscle, nerve, and vasculature makes it the imaging modality of choice for torn muscles. Both the quadriceps muscle and tendon can be easily seen with an MRI scan.
Is an mri usually scheduled just for the purposes of surgery for example to see rotary cuff arthritis tear and or ac joint?
Yes
What best aids to diagnose rotator cuff tear?
A physical examination, imaging tests such as MRI or ultrasound, and sometimes a special test called an arthrogram can help diagnose a rotator cuff tear. Symptoms such as pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder are also considered during the diagnostic process.
Does an MRI of a possibly torn Meniscus require an ink injection?
An MRI can be done with or without contrast. Your doctor may request it either way, depending on conditions. Contrast is most often used with specific need -- such as contrasting bloodflow, to see where vascularity is good, or to observe the extent of a hemorrhage. Usually, a torn meniscus doesn't require this, but there are situations where it can.
Damaged meniscus acl and possibly more can you dislocate your knee from simply standing up out of a chair?
I had to wait a year between injuring my knee and getting and MRI and for the most part I had no trouble with day to day activities I disrupted my knee several times during that period standing up from a chair, and it would also happen sometimes if I did a deep squat or knee bend. My MRI showed a torn acl and a partially torn meniscus.
Do you say an MRI or a MRI?

Used to image soft tissue structures such as interior of complex joints?
If you are asking what is used for imaging of soft tissues in joints; an MRI (MRT, KST, ...) At this point, MRI (preferably 3T MRI) is the best. Ultrasounds can also be used (for example for rotator cuff evaluation), or sometimes an arthro-CT (normal CT is not that good). A diagnostic arthroscopy is a possiblity, but I suppose that no longer falls under "imaging". Plain x-rays will not show soft tissues (well, they will, but very vague).
Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?
If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.
