MRI imaging of Adjacent Bone Changes in patients suffering from Rotator Cuff Tendon pathologies
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff tendon pathology and its diagnosis remain to be a common problem encountered by the physicians. Rotator cuff tear is a common problem at the shoulder joint. Magnetic resonance imaging has a crucial role in diagnosis of rotary cuff disease. Use of MRI has shown its usefulness for years thus its use has been found increasing. Aim: Purpose of this descriptive study is was to study the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging of adjacent bone changes in patients suffering from rotary cuff tendon pathology. Material and method: Patients referred to the Department of Radio diagnosis, Ananta Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, for MRI shoulder with suspected shoulder pathology were examined.70 patients aged above 18 years with Rotator cuff lesions were detected on magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder joint and were selected for the study. Result: Out of the 70 patients included in this study, type I acromion was seen in 11 (16%) patients while type II acromion was seen in 46(65%), type III in 11(16%) patients and type IV in 2 (3%) patients. Thus most common in our study was type II acromion, Joint effusion was noted in 30% patients. Combination of subacromial and subdeltoid bursitis was seen in 34 %. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging is very useful in accurate diagnosis of rotator cuff disease. It gives a detailed view of its predisposing factors like the acromion type & orientation, reduction in coracohumeral distance, reduced acromioclavicular distance and other associated features.
