The pain in the shoulder is hard to pinpoint due to the shared innervation of the AC joint and the glenohumeral joint. An injury to the AC joint will result in pain over the AC joint, in the anterolateral neck and in the region in the anterolateral deltoid. [citation needed] X-ray indicates a separated shoulder when the acromioclavicular joint ...
Grade I is slight displacement of the joint, and a badly stretched or partially torn AC ligament. It has the normal separation of <4 mm. Grade II is a partial dislocation of the AC joint with a complete disruption tear of the AC joint and a partial disruption of coracoclavicular ligament. The AC gap is >5 mm. Grades I and II never require ...
minor joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [7] no or minor loss of head sphericity; 2: Moderate: small bone cyst; moderate joint space narrowing; moderate loss of head sphericity; 3: Severe: large bone cysts; severe joint space narrowing, or joint space obliteration; severe deformity of the head
The normal joint space is at least 2 mm in the hip (at the superior acetabulum), [13] at least 3 mm in the knee, [14] and 4–5 mm in the shoulder joint. [15] For the temporomandibular joint, a joint space of between 1.5 and 4 mm is regarded as normal. [16] Joint space narrowing is therefore a component of several radiographic classifications ...
(E) The medial articular joint space is measured between the medial border of the femoral head or neck (when epiphysis is not ossified) and the acetabular platform. Normal values range between 5 and 12 mm. Differences greater than 1.5 mm between the two sides are considered abnormal. Reimer's migration index.
Palpation of sternoclavicular joint, clavicle, acromioclavicular joint, subacromial bursa, bicipital tendon. Evaluation of passive and active range of motion: Neck range of motion should be assessed that may reveal a neck source of shoulder pain. The Apley scratch test specifically tests range of motion and in a normal exam, an individual ...

MRI imaging may follow, particularly if there is no specific evidence on radiographs, producing a three-dimensional reconstruction of the joint for better definition, to evaluate the hip cartilage, or measure hip socket angles (e.g. the alpha-angle as described by Nötzli [22] in 2-D and by Siebenrock in 3-D [23]).
