Assessment of anterior shoulder instability by CT arthrography.

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

MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography in sports-related glenolabral injuries: a matched descriptive illustration

The combination of a large range of motion and insufficient bony stabilization makes the glenohumeral joint susceptible to injuries including dislocation in young athletes. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MR-arthrography) and computed tomography arthrography (CT-arthrography) play an important role in the preoperative workup of labroligametous injuries. This paper illustrates MR-arthrography a...

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...

MR arthrography of the shoulder: fluoroscopically guided technique using a posterior approach.

433 R arthrography is the preferred imaging technique for the investigation of patients with shoulder instability [1, 2]. MR arthrography reliably shows subtle lesions of the labroligamentous complex, providing information essential to the surgeon concerning the surgery or arthroscopic repair. Most patients presenting with shoulder instability have anterior instability; in these cases, evaluati...

Comparison of MDCTA (16-Slice Multi-Detector Row Computed Tomography Arthrography) and MRA (Magnetic Resonance Arthrography) for Detecting Labral Lesions of the Shoulder

phy (MDCTA) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) are superior to computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating shoulder instability (1, 2). Previous reports have indicated that MRA is more accurate for evaluating the capsuloligamentous complex, the glenoid labrum, the intracapsular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon, and the rotator cuff than CT art...
