Other names. Hill–Sachs fracture. Anterior shoulder dislocation on X-ray with a large Hill–Sachs lesion. Specialty. Orthopedics. A Hill–Sachs lesion, or Hill–Sachs fracture, is a cortical depression in the posterolateral head of the humerus. It results from forceful impaction of the humeral head against the anteroinferior glenoid rim ...
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
Major Diagnostic Category. The Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC) are formed by dividing all possible principal diagnoses (from ICD-9-CM) into 25 mutually exclusive diagnosis areas. MDC codes, like diagnosis-related group (DRG) codes, are primarily a claims and administrative data element unique to the United States medical care reimbursement ...
MRI of normal shoulder intratendinous signal MRI of rotator cuff full-thickness tear. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound [46] are comparable in efficacy and helpful in diagnosis, although both have a false positive rate of 15–20%. [47] MRI can reliably detect most full-thickness tears, although very small pinpoint tears may be missed.
Shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and ...
3-13k. An arthrogram is a series of images of a joint after injection of a contrast medium, usually done by fluoroscopy or MRI. The injection is normally done under a local anesthetic such as Novocain or lidocaine. The radiologist or radiographer performs the study using fluoroscopy or x-ray to guide the placement of the needle into the joint ...
ALPSA lesion. (Redirected from Alpsa lesion) ALPSA lesion. PD-weighted MRI with fat saturation of the shoulder showing an ALPSA lesion. An ALPSA (anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion) lesion is an injury at the front of the shoulder associated with shoulder dislocation. [1]
Milwaukee shoulder syndrome (MSS) (apatite-associated destructive arthritis/Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystal arthritis/rapid destructive arthritis of the shoulder [1] is a rare [2] rheumatological condition similar to pseudogout, associated with periarticular or intra-articular deposition of hydroxyapatite or basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals.
