Computerised Arthrotomography of the Glenohumeral Joint

Computerised arthrotomography of the glenohumeral joint is an extension of double contrast arthrography. It is of particular value in the assessment of patients with shoulder in stability, including patients in whom the diagnosis of recurrent subluxation requires substantiation, and shoulders which may be the site of multidirectional instability. It also appears to be of value in assessment of the articular surfaces following severe trauma. It should also be helpful in the detection of bicipital lesions and loose bodies.
