Incidental X-ray findings of bone spurs at the adjacent acromioclavicular joint may show a bone spur growing from the outer edge of the clavicle downward toward the rotator cuff. Spurs may also be seen on the underside of the acromion, once thought to cause direct fraying of the rotator cuff from contact friction, a concept currently regarded ...
Bankart lesion, Hill-Sachs lesion, rotator cuff tear, axillary nerve injury [1] Types: Anterior, posterior, inferior, superior [2] [1] Causes: Fall onto an outstretched arm or the shoulder. [3] Diagnostic method: Based on symptoms, X-rays [2] Treatment: Shoulder reduction, arm sling [1] [2] Medication: Procedural sedation and analgesia ...
Arthrogram—Diagnostic record that can be seen on an X-ray after injection of a contrast fluid into the shoulder joint to outline structures such as the rotator cuff. In disease or injury, this contrast fluid may either leak into an area where it does not belong, indicating a tear or opening, or be blocked from entering an area where there ...
Imaging of the shoulder includes ultrasound, X-ray and MRI, and is guided by the suspected diagnosis and presenting symptoms. Conventional x-rays and ultrasonography are the primary tools used to confirm a diagnosis of injuries sustained to the rotator cuff.
This nerve is the most commonly injured nerve in proximal humerus fractures due to its location close to the proximal humerus. [12] Muscles that attach to the proximal humerus and can cause a deforming force on fracture fragments include the pectoralis major, the deltoid, and the rotator cuff muscles. [11]
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
