9. Demonstrate the extent and the configuration of rot cuff abnormalities
Suggest mechanical imbalance of the cuff
Document abnormalities of the adjacent muscles.
With the use of the pre-operative MRI the surgeon is able to predict the rotator cuff tear pattern, the appropriate
method for repairing and the prognosis .
10. Field strength : High field strength 1, 1.5, 3 Tesla
Low field strength 0.5 Tesla
Low field strength : longer time to generate images
High signal to noise ratio
Surface coils (transmitter and receiver of radiofrequency pulses) that generate
Pulse sequences
T1-weighted sequence (fat bright,- water , muscle intermediate – fibrous, calcioum
dark)
T2-weighted sequence(water ,fat bright-muscle intermediete-fibrous, calcioum dark
Proton density
Gradient echo
Fat saturation techniques (supress the signal from fat so that pathology to be more
obvious)

The patient is placed into a magnetic field created by a strong
magnet

29. Important is that by preoperative MRI imaging we can
plan the operation and have a fairly accurate
prediction of the outcome
32. Thickened coracohumeral ligament
Thickening of soft tissue in the rotator interval
Thickened inferior glenohumeral ligament
33. The diagnosis of frozen shoulder is clinical
Be aware of MRI reports of tendinosis or partial thickness
rot cuff tears or narrow subacromial space in a clinically
diagnosed frozen shoulder
They are misleading and can drive the surgeon to wrong decisions regarding the
best treatment
The signs of frozen shoulder in MRI are subtle but very obvious in clinical
examination
And remember the radiologist has not examined the patient and usually has very litle
information about the clinical condition of the patient
34. There is no need for evaluating with MRI in order to be detected
even though the accuracy of MRI for finding calcification is more than 95%.
Only an x-ray of the shoulder is needed for the diagnosis of calcific tendonitis
especially in the acute face
35. Interpreting MR images of the post-operative shoulder can be daunting
because of the artifacts from implants that often make the study harder to
evaluate.
36.
37. Conventional MRI provides a good
overview of shoulder lesions and anatomy,
particularly the soft-tissue structures.
However, it is less accurate than MR
arthrography for depiction of small
labroligamentous lesions associated with
shoulder dislocation.
MR arthrography is the imaging modality of
choice to evaluate the labrum. It has the
highest sensitivity and specificity of all
available modalities.
But it is invasive and inconvenient for the
patient
38. Differences in the type of soft tissue lesions have little influence
to the planning of the operation ,but significant bone loss either
of the glenoid or the humeral head has

10 Purpose The purpose of the study was to present midterm
11 results concerning the management of recurrent anterior
12 shoulder instability with the remplissage technique in
13 addition to the classic Bankart repair, in patients with
14 engaging Hill–Sachs lesions.
15 Methods During a time period of 4 years (January 2007–
16 December 2010), 48 patients with an average age of
17 28.9 ± 7.8 years were operated on in our department.
18 They all had a positive apprehension sign pre-operatively
19 and satisfied the inclusion criteria of this study. Seventy-
20 nine per cent of these patients were involved in sport
21 activities of different levels. The mean follow-up period
22 was 37.2 ± 9.9 months.
23 Results Three patients (6.3 %) had suffered a new dis-
24 location: one of them after a low-energy trauma and the
25 two other after a high-energy trauma. The rest of the
26 patients (93.7 %) were satisfied with the surgical result and
27returned to their previous everyday activities while 70.8 %
28continued to participate in sporting activities without
29restrictions. The ASES score increased from 67.7 ± 21.5
30points pre-operatively to 90.8 ± 21.7 points post-opera-
31tively (p 0.01), the modified Rowe score from 38 ± 17.3
32to 93.8 ± 14.5 (p 0.001) and the Oxford Instability score
33from 27.6 ± 11.1 to 45.1 ± 8.3 (p 0.001). No signifi-
34cant restriction in shoulder range of motion was
35documented.
36Conclusions The outcome of the enhancement of the
37classic Bankart repair with tenodesis of the infraspinatus
38and posterior capsular plication is very good as far as the
39management of recurrent anterior shoulder instability is
40concerned, without significantly influencing the range of
41motion of the shoulder.

49Arthroscopic Bankart repair is nowadays widely accepted
50as the treatment of choice for the management of patients
51with traumatic unidirectional anterior shoulder instability.
52However, when a marked glenoid defect is discovered, the
53Bristow, the Latarjet or other bone grafting procedures are
54indicated. On the other hand, when large Hill–Sachs
55lesions exist, the optimal treatment is controversial.
56According to Burkhart and De Beer [2], large osseous
57defects of the postero-superior aspect of the humeral head
58can engage the glenoid rim and cause recurrent instability

3 >25% On track Latarjet procedure
4 >25% Off track Latarjet procedure with or without humeral-sided
procedure (humeral bone graft or remplissage),
depending on engagement of Hill-Sachs lesion
after Latarjet procedure
and the operation planned accordingly
At present we are evaluating the preoperative calculation with direct arthoscopic
confirmation of engagement but the results are promising

Primary and metastatic malignant tumors
Subtle fractures of the upper part of the humerous or
the scapula
Sinovial diseases ( osteochondromatosis , PVS)
Neuropathies of the peripheral nerves that innervate
the muscles of the scapula and the shoulder
Be especially suspicious when the clinical presentation is not
familiar

67. 1. MRI is helpful in Rot Cuff tears
depicting not only the existence but also the size, morphology,
condition of the rot cuff muscles and prognosis
2.In frozen shoulder the diagnosis may be missed
beware of reports of supraspinatus tendinosis or calcifications
of the supraspinatus in a clinical diagnosed frozen shoulder
3. Partial rot cuff tears and labral tears especially in young
overhead athletes are best depicted with MR Arthrogram
4. Although Glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions are depicted
with MRI, are better quantitated at present by a 3D CT-scan
5.Unfamiliar clinical presentations need further imaging
