Key result
Novel magnetic resonance imaging sequences and processing may allow for obtaining complete bony information to evaluate glenoid bone loss from a single preoperative imaging study.
Why the study?
Can novel magnetic resonance imaging sequences accurately evaluate glenoid bone loss compared to computed tomography in patients with shoulder instability?
Can novel magnetic resonance imaging sequences accurately evaluate glenoid bone loss compared to computed tomography in patients with shoulder instability?
Novel MRI sequences may allow for complete evaluation of glenoid bone loss from a single preoperative imaging study, potentially serving as an alternative to CT scans.
Glenoid bone loss must be recognized when treating patients with shoulder instability to appropriately determine surgical treatment with either a soft-tissue stabilization or bony augmentation procedure. Three-dimensional reconstructions from computed tomography scans currently are the clinical gold standard for accurately evaluating glenoid bone loss. Novel advances in magnetic resonance imaging sequences and processing may allow for obtaining complete bony information from a single preoperative imaging study.
