Shoulder MRI in Real Practice: From Rotator Cuff to Instability | Core Cases

https://youtu.be/v7POCHtI5nc

Shoulder MRI is not about memorizing signs.
It’s about recognizing patterns in real cases.
In this 1 hour 50 minute session,
I walk through essential shoulder MRI findings
from rotator cuff tears to instability and adhesive capsulitis.
If you’d like to see how these cases look in daily practice,
you can watch the full lecture here.
