Shoulder Labral Tear Repair Surgery. Look for rim-rent tears of the supraspinatus tendon at the insertion of the anterior fibers. Due to the tension by the anterior band of the inferior GHL labral teras will be easier to detect. Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of MR arthrography in detecting isolated posterior glenoid labral injuries using arthroscopy as the reference standard. Pathomechanics and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Thrower's Shoulder. Posterior labrum tear: This tear occurs at the back of the shoulder joint. Posterior labral tears will demonstrate the absence of the labrum or morphologic distortion, contrast, or fluid infiltration [].Four primary diagnostic characteristics can determine pathologic tearing versus an anatomic variant: intrasubstance signal intensity, margins, orientation, and extension. found in 3-5% of patients undergoing routine MRI of the shoulder 12, 13 Denervation of muscle is identified on MR images initially by the presence of diffuse, homogeneous muscle . 15 Imaging of the patient in the ABER position can greatly increase the conspicuity of an ALPSA lesion, which can easily be overlooked on a routine MRI of the shoulder or on the standard axial sequence of an MRA. Dougherty MC, Kulenkamp JE, Boyajian H, Koh JL, Lee MJ, Shi LL. Findings compatible with posterior shoulder subluxation with an intramuscular tear of the teres minor, a posterior labral tear, and posterior capsular disruption. Lee SB, Kim KJ, ODriscoll SW, Morrey BF, An KN Dynamic glenohumeral stability provided by the rotator cuff muscles in the mid-range and end-range of motion. AJR 1998; 171:763-768. Weishaupt D, Zanetti M, Nyffeler RW, Gerber C, Hodler J. Posterior glenoid rim deficiency in recurrent (atraumatic) posterior shoulder instability. Images demonstrate a non-displaced tear involving the superficial anteroinferior labrum with associated injury to the adjacent cartilage 4.. Diagnosis can be made clinically with positive posterior labral provocative tests and confirmed with MRI studies of the shoulder. Imaging in three planes is advisable and additional orthogonal planes may be included in the protocol for a detailed assessment of the lesion. Between 2006 and 2008, 444 patients who had both shoulder arthroscopy and an MRI (non-contrast or MR arthrography) for shoulder pain at our institution prior to surgery were identified and included in the study. However, a study by Saupe et al. 4). (OBQ12.268) This sublabral recess can be difficult to distinguish from a SLAP-tear or a sublabral foramen. Posterior capsular rupture causing posterior shoulder instability: a case report. They all attach to the greater tuberosity. . At this level also look for Bankart lesions. Figure 17-5. 1998 Apr 30;17(8):857-72 Glenoid labral tear. On MR arthrography, the mean posterior humeral translation was greater (6.2 mm +/- 0.08; p = 0.019), posterior labral tears were longer (19.4 mm +/- 1.7; p = 0.0008), and labrocapsular avulsion was more common (83%; p = 0.0001) in patients with posterior instability than in patients who had a posterior labral tear but a clinically stable shoulder. Small to moderate glenohumeral joint effusion with synovitis and extension of fluid in the subcoracoid recess. The axillary radiograph is also helpful in the traumatic scenario for identifying a posterior glenoid rim fracture or a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. Results: Diagnosis is made clinically with presence of increased anterior and posterior humeral translation, a sulcus sign, and overall increased . A posterior labral tear (reverse Bankart) is also present (arrowhead), and a bone bruise is seen within the anterior humeral head (asterisk). A shoulder labral tear injury can cause symptoms such as pain, a catching or locking sensation, decreased range of motion and joint instability. Posterior labrum tear causes: Catching a heavy object . coracoacromial arch and coracoacromial ligament, glenohumeral ligaments - SGHL, MGHL, IGHL (anterior band). Bennett GE: Shoulder and elbow lesions of the professional baseball pitcher. True dysplasia should be visible on at least two axials slices cephalad to the most inferior slice of the glenoid (Fig. The ABER view is also very useful for both partial- and full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff. The shoulder is primarily a ball and socket joint made up of the humerus (ball) and the glenoid (socket). Pagnani MJ, Warren RF Stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint. In a 34 year-old male following an acute subluxation event, a tear is present along the base of the posterior labrum with edema and irregularity noted at adjacent posterior periosteum (arrow). and transmitted securely. Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine Ultrasound will also show a shoulder ganglion cyst and the effects of muscle wasting. In Shoulder MR-Part I we will focus on the normal anatomy and the many anatomical variants that may simulate pathology. The fibers of the subscapularis tendon hold the biceps tendon within its groove. A displaced tear of the posterior labrum (arrow) is present. 6). Would you like email updates of new search results? Future larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. A Buford complex is a congenital labral variant. This is called a posterior labral tear. Notice the rotator cuff interval with coracohumeral ligament. The supraspinatus tendon is the most important structure of the rotator cuff and subject to tendinopathy and tears. Hottya GA, Tirman PF, Bost FW, Montgomery WH, Wolf EM, Genant HK. Following a posterior subluxation event, a fat-suppressed T2-weighted coronal image in this 52 year-old male reveals focal edema and irregularity at the humeral attachment of the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (arrow), compatible with a partial tear. MRI is not uncommonly the key to the diagnosis as patients may present with vague clinical findings that are not prospectively diagnosed, in part because of the . 2016;36(6):1628-47. PMC Arthroscopy. Imaging Studies. 2019 Nov 7;19:199-202. doi: 10.1016/j.jor.2019.10.015. 11). On conventional MR labral tears are best seen on fat-saturated fluid-sensitive sequences. 2000;20 Spec No(suppl_1):S67-81. The chondral lesion is thought to arise secondary to impaction injury from the humeral head. The labrum is a thick fibrous ring that surrounds the glenoid. These shoulder MRI findings in middle-aged populations emphasize the need for supporting clinical judgment when making treatment decisions for this patient population. Glenoid retroversion has been shown to be a risk factor for posterior shoulder instability.3 In a prospective study of 714 West Point cadets who were followed for 4 years, 46 shoulders had a documented glenohumeral instability event, 7 of which (10%) were posterior instability. complex injuries to the shoulder. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 8 Therefore, although Bennett lesions are typically not associated with . The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the On these axial images a Buford complex can be identified. Surgical Management of Superior Labral Tears in Athletes: Focus on Biceps Tenodesis. A posterior labrum tear is a rare type of shoulder labral tear that occurs in the back of the shoulder. He has positive Kim and jerk tests and reproduction of symptoms with the shoulder in forward flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. Surgical treatment: arthroscopic debridement . This is a common injury for athletes such as baseball pitchers and . Comparison between 18 patients with glenoid dysplasia and 19 patients without dysplasia revealed no significant difference in outcomes between the 2 groups.20. Posterior Labral Tear. Overall, MRI had an accuracy of 76 %, a PPV of 24 %, and a NPV of 95 %. A fold is more commonly occur in the posterosuperior and posteroinferior capsular portions. Shah AA, Butler RB, Fowler R, Higgins LD. Posterior instability of the shoulder can vary from minor symptoms and findings to dramatic events resulting in extensive, complex injuries to the shoulder. On MR an os acromiale is best seen on the superior axial images. QID: . Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Notice smooth undersurface of infraspinatus tendon and normal anterior labrum. Harper and colleagues17 similarly developed a classification scheme with normal, mild, moderate, and severe glenoid dysplasia. Study the inferior labral-ligamentary complex. In the shoulder, this pain is located posterior (behind) and superior (above). 1A: The ball (humerus) normally rests within the socket (glenoid) like a golf ball on a tee. To make a tear in the labrum show up more clearly on the MRI, a dye may be injected into your shoulder before the scan is taken. 2012 Dec;52(6):622-30. Imaging of Posterior Shoulder Instability, Josef K. Eichinger, MD, FAOA and Joseph W. Galvin, DO, FAAOS. Similarly, Bradley and colleagues found that in a cohort of 100 shoulders that underwent arthroscopic capsulolabral repair, patients with posterior instability had significantly greater chondrolabral injury and osseous retroversion in comparison with controls.10 The measurement of glenoid retroversion on 2-dimensional CT scan is performed by using Friedmans method, which has been validated and accepted (Figure 17-5).11 It is generally accepted that normal glenoid version is between 4 to 7 degrees of retroversion. Occasionally, a SLAP (superior labrum, anterior and posterior) fracture, which represents a superior humeral head compression . 1985 Sep-Oct;13(5):337-41 The shallow socket in the scapula is the glenoid cavity. The biggest advantage of MR arthrography comes from the joint distension, which can help spot otherwise occult tears. In type II there is a small recess. Labral repair or resection is performed. Of the 444 patients having an MRI and arthroscopy for shoulder pain, 121 had a SLAP diagnosis by MRI and 44 had a SLAP diagnosis by arthroscopy. There are also newer treatments to consider that don't involve surgery. Adv Orthop. J Am Med Assoc 117: 510-514, 1941. 3). Which of the images (Figures A-E) most likely corresponds to the patient's initial diagnosis? ORTHOPEDICS August 2010;33(8):562. by Schreinemachers SA, van der Hulst VP, Willems WJ, Bipat S, van der Woude HJ. The Bennett lesion (Fig. CT and MR Arthrography of the Normal and Pathologic Anterosuperior Labrum and Labral-Bicipital Complex. 1999 May 15;318(7194):1322-3 Fluid should not lie along both sides of the shoulder capsule. Probing of the posterior labrum is needed to rule out a subtle Kim lesion. An orthopaedic surgeon performs an arthroscopic shoulder procedure on a football player. AJR Am J Roentgenol. a pointed glenoid on axial imaging sequences is a normal-appearing glenoid without dysplasia, a lazy J has a rounded appearance of the posterior inferior glenoid, and a delta glenoid is a triangular osseous deficiency.
