BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An acetabular labral tear is a diagnostic challenge. Various clinical tests have been described, but little is known about their diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. We investigated the diagnostic validity of clinical tests and ultrasound as compared with MR arthrography. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined 18 patients (18 hips, 2 men, median age 43 (32-56) years) with ...

The reliability and accuracy of two-compartment temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrography was compared with MR imaging on the basis of an analysis of surgical findings obtained from joints that had been studied preoperatively with arthrography or MR or, in some cases, both procedures. Seven hundred forty-three consecutive TMJ arthrograms were successfully obtained in a total of 443 patients by...

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...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 3-T MRI versus 3-T MR arthrography for assessing labral abnormalities in the shoulder using arthroscopy as the gold standard. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty-two patients (28 men, 14 women; mean age, 33 years) underwent MR arthrography and conventional MRI of the same shoulder. Two patients underwent bilateral shoulder ...

PURPOSE To assess diagnostic accuracy in the detection and grading of subscapularis tendon lesions at magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR arthrograms in 50 consecutive patients (29 with normal subscapularis tendons, 11 with a lesion in the cranial quarter, seven with a major tear but not complete detachment, three with complete detachment) with arthroscopic or surgi...

Objective: The study's primary objective is to compare the diagnostic efficacy of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography, arthroscopy, and MDCT arthrography in preoperative planning anterior shoulder instability a larger cohort 100 patients.Topics Techniques: A total individuals (60 men 40 women, with mean age 29) underwent MR over course 11 months, beginning January 2021. imaging data were exami...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to anatomically confirm that anterior shoulder injection could result in penetration of the anterior stabilizing structures of the glenohumeral joint and to advocate the use of a tailored approach to MR arthrography based on presenting symptoms. CONCLUSION A tailored approach to MR arthrography may be a useful way to isolate expected pathology in the sh...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Scapholunate dissociation is a clinically most frequently diagnosed form of carpal instability. The aim of this study was to compare high resolution MRI using a microscopic coil with direct MRI arthrography in patients with suspected scapholunate ligament lesions and compare the results with arthroscopy findings and Geissler's arthroscopy classification. MATERIAL AND METHOD...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a condition of unknown aetiology that results in the development of restricted active and passive glenohumeral motion. It has been reported that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is useful in diagnosing adhesive capsulitis. We carried out this study to assess how pain and/or resistance during contrast material injection affects the dia...
