What Does The Following MRI Report Indicate?

my daughter s contrast MRI showed she had a Slap Tear . During surgery to fix, they couldn t find the tear. Dr. mentioned shadowing on MRI s. I haven t got a clear explanation to what went wrong. Is that a normal thing with MRI s? I am happy because she didn t have a Slap Tear, but just confused.

Hi there. Thanks for the question at HCM.

It's good news that slap rear could not be found during the procedure. Artifacts are quite commin in muskuloskeletal MRIs.It is possible that shadow of some other soft tiaaye overlapping on the native structure of labrum in shoulder, giving the appearance of a tear. Also MRI is an observer depedenet investigation. Interpretation can change based on who is reading the films. The best and confirmatory test would be to see the tear during surgery.

Hope this helps.

All the best.Regards.
