Key result
MR imaging successfully identified humeral head defects in all 9 patients detected by CT, and showed glenoid labrum integrity equally well as CT arthrography.
Why the study?
Does MR imaging accurately depict postdislocation abnormalities compared to CT arthrography in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation?
Population
13 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation
Comparison
MR imaging vs CT arthrography and conventional radiography
Design
Cross-sectional

MR may offer a noninvasive alternative to CT arthrography for recurrent shoulder dislocation; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective studies.

Does MR imaging accurately depict postdislocation abnormalities compared to CT arthrography in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation?
MR imaging is a viable alternative to CT arthrography for evaluating osseous and soft-tissue changes in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.
Kieft et al. (1988) conducted a cross-sectional in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation (n=13). MR imaging vs. CT arthrography was evaluated on depiction of postdislocation abnormalities including glenoid labrum integrity and humeral head defects. MR imaging successfully identified humeral head defects in all 9 patients detected by CT, and showed glenoid labrum integrity equally well as CT arthrography.
