Objectives: The objective of this study is to prospectively assess the effectiveness of shoulder magnetic resonance (MR) arthrograms with positional manoeuvres in detecting posterior synovial folds.

Methods: Two radiologists independently assessed all axial MR arthrograms in internal rotation, neutral position, and external rotation for the presence of a posterior synovial fold. The diagnostic performances of the MR arthrograms were then compared, with results validated through arthroscopy.
