The normal glenohumeral space is 4–5 mm. [1] Supraspinatus outlet view X-ray, showing subacromial space measurement. The normal subacromial space in shoulder radiographs is 9–10 mm; this space is significantly greater in men, with a slight reduction with age. [2]
The light bulb sign is best observed on an AP radiograph of the shoulder. [5] Key features include: Rounded humeral head: The humeral head appears symmetrically rounded, resembling a light bulb due to internal rotation. Loss of normal glenohumeral overlap: The humeral head is posteriorly displaced, disrupting the alignment with the glenoid cavity.
Shoulder anatomy, front view Shoulder anatomy, back view. The rotator cuff is an anatomical term given to the group of four muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder. [3] These muscles are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis and that hold the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during ...
Impingement syndrome can be diagnosed by a targeted medical history and physical examination, [11] [12] but it has also been argued that at least medical imaging [13] (generally X-ray initially) and/or response to local anesthetic injection [14] is necessary for workup. However, imaging studies are unable to show cause of shoulder pain in ...
Projectional radiography, also known as conventional radiography, [1] is a form of radiography and medical imaging that produces two-dimensional images by X-ray radiation.The image acquisition is generally performed by radiographers, and the images are often examined by radiologists.
It is most commonly due to a fall onto the front and upper part of the shoulder when the arm is by the side. [2] They are classified as type I, II, III, IV, V, or VI with the higher the number the more severe the injury. [2] Diagnosis is typically based on physical examination and X-rays. [2]
The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior (inferior) 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.
