Diagnostic Effectiveness of MDCT arthrography in preoperative planning of anterior shoulder instability: A comparative study with MR arthrography and arthroscopy

Comparative study of direct MR arthrography and CT arthrography with arthroscopic correlation in preoperative evaluation of anterior shoulder instability

Magnetic resonance arthrography in recurrent anterior shoulder instability as compared to arthroscopy: a prospective comparative study.

AIM To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrographic imaging in the diagnosis of glenoid labral and ligament tears in recurrent shoulder instability. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Prospective, comparative study at a tertiary care centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with three or more episodes of anterior shoulder dislocation were enrolled in the study. They were subjected to magnet...

Posterior shoulder injection under MDCT guidance before MR arthrography

Diagnostic value of US, MR and MR arthrography in shoulder instability.

INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to compare US, conventional MRI and MR arthrography findings in patients with anterior shoulder instability and with a clinical diagnosis of labral capsular ligamentous complex lesion. At the same time we evaluated the accuracy of MR arthrography in the diagnosis of this lesion. METHODS After approval of the local Ethics Committee, our department's Trauma...

Assessment of anterior shoulder instability by CT arthrography.

Computed tomography (CT) immediately after double-contrast shoulder arthrography was taken in twenty-two young male patients with anterior shoulder instability including recurrent dislocation and subluxation. This recently developed technique called CT arthrography can provide significant information about patients with glenohumeral instability which is difficult to obtain by conventional arthr...
