Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
BACKGROUND Shoulder is one of the anatomical areas which is most commonly evaluated with musculoskeletal ultrasonography. The objectives of this study were1. To evaluate the role of ultrasound in non-traumatic shoulder pain. 2. Diagnose different rotator cuff and non-rotator cuff pathologies of shoulder with the help of ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective observational study was done in department of Radiodiagnosis, Baroda Medical College and SSG Hospital, Vadodara, Gujarat on the patients who presented with history of shoulder pain. A total of 80 patients was subjected to high resolution ultrasonography between January 2017 to October 2017 for period of 9 months. It was performed by using Phillips iU22 and My lab 20 machines, with a 10 MHz frequency linear transducer. Colour Doppler was used to evaluate for the vascularity of the lesion. RESULTS Total 80 patients had been subjected to ultrasonography, out of which 51 patients were having some shoulder pathology and 29 patients were sonographically normal. Rotator cuff tear was the commonest pathology found followed by bicep tendinosis, acromioclavicular joint arthropathy, calcific tendinopathy, subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis, Hill Sach’s lesion, glenohumeral joint effusion, synovitis and osteosarcoma. CONCLUSION Ultrasonography is cheapest modality of choice which is able to diagnose different rotator and non-rotator cuff pathologies of shoulder.
