in Radiology in 2008 examined 36 patients following acute traumatic shoulder dislocation and revealed full-thickness tears in 19% of patients and partial or full-thickness tears in 42%.17As would be expected, subscapularis tears were most common, but tears were also identified in the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus. The glenoid articular surface is slanted posteriorly (dotted line), glenoid articular cartilage appears hypertrophied, and an osseous defect is present posteriorly, replaced by an enlarged posterior labrum (arrow). This type of shoulder labral tear can lead to intermittent symptoms and only occurs in 5-10% of shoulder labral tear patients. When the A 15 year-old presents following posterior dislocation during a football game. Diagnostic performance of 3D-multi-Echo-data-image-combination (MEDIC) for evaluating SLAP lesions of the shoulder. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1993; 75:1175-1184. Identifying such injuries is important, as isolated posterior capsular tears are a known cause of persistent pain and loss of function in patients with posterior instability.16. Types of labral tears. A displaced tear of the posterior labrum (arrow) is present. 4. It helps provide stability to the shoulder by . Insertion of the shoulder capsule onto the labrum or glenoid has been categorized previously according to a system by Mosley et al. MR interpreters should be aware that at times capsular tears are quite subtle. The vast majority of shoulder labral tears do not need surgery. Axis of supraspinous tendon. A Treatise on Dislocations and Fractures of the Joints. found in 3-5% of patients undergoing routine MRI of the shoulder 12, 13 Denervation of muscle is identified on MR images initially by the presence of diffuse, homogeneous muscle . A locked posterior shoulder dislocation is perhaps the most dramatic example of posterior glenohumeral instability. 15 Imaging of the patient in the ABER position can greatly increase the conspicuity of an ALPSA lesion, which can easily be overlooked on a routine MRI of the shoulder or on the standard axial sequence of an MRA. The glenoid cavity is the shallow socket of the scapula. Labral repair or resection is performed. Failure of one of the acromial ossification centers to fuse will result in an os acromiale. His examination is somewhat difficult due to his large size, but no significant abnormal findings are noted. The labrum in the shoulder joint is a vital component that helps stabilize the humerus and shoulder blade during movement. Follow me on twitter:https://twitter.com/#!/DrEbr. J Shoulder Elbow Surg. A 20-year-old college football offensive lineman undergoes arthroscopic right shoulder surgery for the injury shown in Figure A. Post-operatively he complains of burning pain in the region marked in yellow on Figure B. Radiology 2008; 248:185193. Other radiographic lesions that may be associated with posterior labral pathology and instability include the Bennett lesion, which is an extra-articular posterior ossification of the posterior inferior glenoid. Normal anatomy. [ 41] Findings are usually normal. Overall, an MRI scan will clearly show the ganglion cyst in the shoulder and whether it compresses the nerve. A sublabral foramen or sublabral hole is an unattached anterosuperior labrum at the 1-3 o'clock position. In patients with glenoid deficiency or large impaction defects, osteotomies and osseous augmentation procedures may be required. Utilizing the gle-noid clockface orientation on a sagittal image (Fig. Notice coracoclavicular ligament and short head of the biceps. Acute traumatic posterior shoulder dislocation: MR findings. 2011 May;196(5):1139-44. doi: 10.2214/AJR.08.1734. Mauro et al found increased retroversion in a cohort of 118 patients who were operatively treated for posterior instability in comparison with a group of normal controls, but the authors did not attribute retroversion as a risk factor for failure. Sometimes at this level labral tears at the 3-6 o'clock position can be visualized. the-glenoid labrum. Notice MGHL, which has an oblique course through the joint and study the relation to the subscapularis tendon. 1999 May 15;318(7194):1322-3 Tear of the posterior shoulder stabilizers after posterior dislocation: MR imaging and MR arthrographic findings with arthroscopic correlation. Imaging in three planes is advisable and additional orthogonal planes may be included in the protocol for a detailed assessment of the lesion. On MR an os acromiale is best seen on the superior axial images. Surg Clin North Am. AJR Am J Roentgenol. In all patients, posterior cartilage damage of type 3 to 4, classified according to Outerbridge, with a concomitant posterior labral tear was evident. Figure 17-6. If there is a related partial thickness rotator cuff tear, there may also be lateral (on the side) pain. Look for rim-rent tears of the supraspinatus tendon at the insertion of the anterior fibers. Both tests may . A useful indirect sign to be aware of, whether using MR arthrography or routine MR, is to recognize that normally the shoulder capsule should only be outlined by fluid along its inner margin. Mild glenoid hypoplasia results in a rounded contour of the posterior glenoid with normal or only mildly thickened posterior labral tissue. The posterior labrum is enlarged to replace the deficient glenoid rim. 15,16). In the event of a shoulder dislocation, the . where most labral tears are located. 14). -, Am J Sports Med. Imaging of superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears of the shoulder. Posterior labral tearing was apparent on contiguous images (not shown). The rotator cuff is made of the tendons of subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor muscle. Which of the following nerves was most likely injured during the procedure? Oper Tech Sports Med 2016;24(3):181-188. Figure 17-1. Following a posterior subluxation event, a fat-suppressed T2-weighted coronal image in this 52 year-old male reveals focal edema and irregularity at the humeral attachment of the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (arrow), compatible with a partial tear. Look for impingement by the AC-joint. The labrum is the cartilage of the shoulder joint that encircles the socket to stabilize the shoulder. Baseball pitchers are shown to have a high prevalence. 10 A paralabral cyst indicates the presence of a labral tear. 2012;132(7):905-19. 2020 Aug 27;8(8):2325967120941850. doi: 10.1177/2325967120941850. Diagnosis .
J Am Med Assoc 117: 510-514, 1941. 8600 Rockville Pike The glenoid labrum stabilizes the joint by increasing glenoid depth and surface area, and provides a stable fibrocartilaginous anchor for the glenohumeral ligaments. Look for tears of the infraspinatus tendon. (14c) An arthroscopic examination confirms the tear in the posterior capsule (arrow), which was subsequently repaired. He has full passive and active range of motion of the left shoulder that is symmetrical to his contralateral side. There was a posterior labrum tear. 1998 Apr 30;17(8):857-72 posteriorly directed force with the arm in a flexed, internally rotated and adducted position, patients with increased glenoid retroversion (~17) were 6x more likely to experience posterior instability compared to those with less glenoid retroversion (~7), helps generate cavity-compression effect of glenohumeral joint, anchors posterior inferior glenohumeral ligament (PIGHL, vague, nonspecific posterior shoulder pain, worsens with provocative activities that apply a posteriorly directed force to the shoulder, ex: pushing heavy doors, bench press, push-ups, arm positioned with shoulder forward flexed 90 and adducted, apply posteriorly directed force to shoulder through humerus, positive if patient experiences sense of instability or pain, grasp the proximal humerus and apply a posteriorly directed force, assess distance of translation and patient response, grade 2 = over edge of glenoid but spontaneously relocates, grade 3 = over edge of glenoid, does not spontaneously relocate, arm positioned with shoulder abducted 90 and fully internally rotated, axially load humerus while adducting the arm across the body, arm positioned with shoulder abducted 90 and forward flexed 45, apply posteriorly and inferiorly directed force to shoulder through humerus, posterior shoulder dislocations may be missed on AP radiographs alone, arthroscopic and open techniques may be used, suture anchor repair and capsulorrhaphy results in fewer recurrences and revisions than non-anchored repairs, return to previous level of function in overhead throwing athletes not as reproducible as other athletes, failure risk increases if adduction and internal rotation are not avoided in the acute postoperative period, posterior branch of the axillary nerve is at risk during arthroscopic stabilization, travels within 1 mm of the inferior shoulder capsule and glenoid rim, at risk during suture passage at the posterior inferior glenoid, can lead to anterior subluxation or coracoid impingement, Glenohumeral Joint Anatomy, Stabilizer, and Biomechanics, Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Instability (TUBS), Humeral Avulsion Glenohumeral Ligament (HAGL), Posterior Shoulder Instability & Dislocation, Multidirectional Shoulder Instability (MDI), Luxatio Erecta (Inferior Glenohumeral Joint Dislocation), Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD), Brachial Neuritis (Parsonage-Turner Syndrome), Glenohumeral Arthritis (Shoulder Arthritis), Shoulder Arthroscopy: Indications & Approach, Valgus Extension Overload (Pitcher's Elbow), Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury (PLRI), Elbow Arthroscopy: Indications & Approach. -. The glenoid labrum is a rim of cartilage attached to the glenoid rim. Sports Health 2011 May, 3(3):253-263, Cooper A. The posterior capsule is torn at the humeral attachment (arrow). On conventional MR labral tears are best seen on fat-saturated fluid-sensitive sequences. Glenoid dysplasia/hypoplasia occurred in 19% to 35% of specimens.15,16 Additionally, several studies have identified that subtle posteroinferior glenoid deficiency and hypoplasia are significantly associated with posterior labral tears and symptomatic posterior shoulder instability.1719 Weishaupt et al18 used CT arthrograms to determine the incidence and severity of glenoid dysplasia in a population of patients with atraumatic posterior shoulder instability. Scroll through the images and notice the unattached labrum at the 12-3 o'clock position at the site of the sublabral foramen. We hypothesized that the accuracy of MRI and MRA was lower than previously reported. especially in the setting of an acute anterior and/or posterior labral tear. On these axial images a Buford complex can be identified. The ligaments also aid in keeping the shoulder stable and in joint. An impaction fracture is also present at the posterior glenoid rim (blue arrow). Small to moderate glenohumeral joint effusion with synovitis and extension of fluid in the subcoracoid recess. 4). 8 Therefore, although Bennett lesions are typically not associated with . Probing of the posterior labrum is needed to rule out a subtle Kim lesion. McLaughlin, HL. The term SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior. Study the superior biceps-labrum complex and look for sublabral recess or SLAP-tear. On MR arthrography it is customary to combine T1, T1 FS and T2 FS sequences for further assessment. Glenoid labral tear. The shallow socket in the scapula is the glenoid cavity. The ABER view is also very useful for both partial- and full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff. Diagnosis can be made clinically with positive posterior labral provocative tests and confirmed with MRI studies of the shoulder. Our data indicated that while MRI could exclude a SLAP lesion (NPV = 95 %), MRI alone was not an accurate clinical tool.
Common symptoms of a SLAP tear include: dull or aching pain in the shoulder, especially while lifting over the head. Once thought to be a relatively rare entity, a study by Harper et al. Patients with labral tears may present with a wide range of symptoms (depends on the injury type), which are often non-specific: Labral injuries can result from acute trauma (like shoulder dislocation or direct blow) or repetitive overuse. (B) Axillary radiograph demonstrating severe glenoid dysplasia with hypoplasia of the posterior glenoid and severe retroversion. As joint instability is often present, capsuloplasty may be added to the procedure. AJR 2004; 183(2). Type 1 shoulder labrum tear. Look for HAGL-lesion (humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament). In a 20 year-old football player following acute injury, a reverse Bankart lesion is present. Simoni P, Scarciolla L, Kreutz J, Meunier B, Beomonte Zobel B. J Sports Med Phys Fitness. On examination, she reports deep posterior shoulder pain when the arm is abducted 90 degrees and maximally . Notice the rotator cuff interval with coracohumeral ligament. Posterior instability of the shoulder can vary from minor symptoms and findings to dramatic events resulting in extensive, complex injuries to the shoulder. Methods: FOIA . The anterior labrum is absent in the 1-3 o'clock position and there is a thickened middle GHL. Open Access J Sports Med. Operative findings were used as the gold standard for posterior labral tear extension. . 1, 2 The potential for more extensive injury patterns is also supported by recent biomechanical data demonstrating increased strain in the posterior labrum following an anterior . 2012 Sep;81(9):2343-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2011.07.006. Fluid should not lie along both sides of the shoulder capsule. There are a number of anatomical labral variants located between 11 and 3 o'clock, which can be mistaken for a SLAP tear: Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Following plain radiographs, a CT scan is another useful imaging modality to evaluate the bony morphology of the glenoid including retroversion, glenoid dysplasia, and glenoid bone loss (GBL), and to further characterize the size and location of a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. Study the cartilage. Does posterior labral tear require surgery? It is a condition referred to as an internal impingement. sports. A recess more than 3-5 mm is always abnormal and should be regarded as a SLAP-tear. Broadly, clinical unidirectional . In a 34 year-old male following an acute subluxation event, a tear is present along the base of the posterior labrum with edema and irregularity noted at adjacent posterior periosteum (arrow). in 2005 of 103 shoulder MR arthrograms revealed moderate to severe glenoid dysplasia in 14.3% of patients, and including mild cases increased the incidence to 39.8%.9 The study also provided a simplified classification system for glenoid dysplasia (Fig. Locked posterior shoulder dislocation with multiple associated injuries. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us\u0026email="}, Chmiel-Nowak M, Sheikh Y, Feger J, et al. 1992 Jul;74(6):890-6. The labrum is a band of tough cartilage and connective tissue that lines the rim of the hip socket, or acetabulum. Typically, physical therapy will start the first week or two after surgery. Labral tears Study the attachment of the IGHL at the humerus. Radiographs are normal, and an MRI arthrogram is shown in Figure A. Surgical treatment: arthroscopic debridement . Rotator cuff tears in the context of posterior shoulder instability or dislocation were once thought to be rare. Ultrasound will also show a shoulder ganglion cyst and the effects of muscle wasting. MRI can rule out other causes of shoulder pain. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window), Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window), Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window), on Imaging of Posterior Shoulder Instability. Burkhead WZ, Rockwood CA Treatment of instability of the shoulder with an exercise program. (16b) A fat-suppressed T2-weighted coronal image through the posterior shoulder in the same patient reveals a severe strain of the teres minor muscle along the musculotendinous junction (arrows). When a dislocation or subluxation occurs, the glenoid labrum is torn from the bone and the capsule is stretched. and transmitted securely. Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine This usually happens from an interior shoulder dislocation (a dislocation when the humeral head comes out of the front of the socket). (SBQ16SM.25)
They involve the superior glenoid labrum, where the long head of biceps tendon inserts. 2009 Jan;192(1):86-92. doi: 10.2214/ajr.08.1097.
eCollection 2021. Arthroscopy. AJR Am J Roentgenol. An os acromiale must be mentioned in the report, because in patients who are considered for subacromial decompression, 1985 Sep-Oct;13(5):337-41 If the patient is unable to abduct the arm, then a Velpeau view is an alternate orthogonal radiograph (Figure 17-4). Magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance arthrography and ultrasonography for assessing rotator cuff tears in people with shoulder pain for whom surgery is being considered. A common cause of a posterior labrum tear is repetitive microtrauma to the shoulder joint. Dougherty MC, Kulenkamp JE, Boyajian H, Koh JL, Lee MJ, Shi LL. Tear of the posterior shoulder stabilizers after posterior dislocation: MR imaging and MR arthroscopic findings with arthroscopic correlation. They all attach to the greater tuberosity. It is important to recognise these variants, because they can mimick a SLAP tear. Background:The literature demonstrates a high prevalence of asymptomatic knee and hip findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in athletes. In type III there is a large sublabral recess. A displaced tear of the posteroinferior labrum is present, with a torn piece of periosteum (arrow) remaining attached to the posterior labrum. Severe glenoid dysplasia or hypoplasia is a rare condition due to either brachial plexus birth palsy or a developmental abnormality with lack of stimulation of the inferior glenoid ossification center. Glenoid dysplasia, also referred to as glenoid hypoplasia and posterior glenoid rim deficiency, is now increasingly recognized as an anatomic variant that predisposes patients to posterior glenohumeral instability. The glenohumeral joint has the following supporting structures: The tendon of the subscapularis muscle attaches both to the lesser tuberosity aswell as to the greater tuberosity giving support to the long head Harper and colleagues, Arthroscopic Management of Posterior Instability, Radiographic and Advanced Imaging to Assess Anterior Glenohumeral Bone Loss, Management of In-Season Anterior Instability and Return-to-Play Outcomes, Decision Making in Surgical Treatment of Athletes With First-Time vs Recurrent Shoulder Instability, Management of the Aging Athlete With the Sequelae of Shoulder Instability, Instability in the Pediatric and Adolescent Athlete, History and Examination of Posterior Instability. This ring of cartilage encompasses the outer rim of the glenoid to provide cushiony support around the head of the humerus. However, a study by Saupe et al. In shoulders with posterior instability, the acromion is situated higher and is oriented more horizontally in the sagittal plane than in normal shoulders and those with anterior instability. Study the inferior labral-ligamentary complex. Tendonitis of the long head of the biceps. The labrum is cartilage tissue that holds the "ball" (humeral head) in the "socket" (glenoid) of your shoulder. In patients with traumatic posterior subluxation or dislocation, injuries to labrum, capsule, bone and rotator cuff may be found, and accurate diagnosis with MRI allows the most appropriate treatment pathway to be chosen. In either case, the labrum can be torn off the bone. Numerous labral abnormalities may be encountered in patients with posterior glenohumeral instability. The glenoid labrum is a cartilage rim that attaches to the glenoid rim. Numerous capsular abnormalities have been described in patients with posterior glenohumeral instability. The authors found that specific acromial morphology on scapular-Y x-rays is significantly associated with the direction of glenohumeral instability. Pathology involving the superior labrum presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the arthroscopic surgeon. When comparing the 2 groups, they found that 12% of patients in the Bennett group had a posterior labral tear on MRI, whereas only 6.8% of patients in the non-Bennett group had a documented posterior labral tear, although the results were not statistically significant.8 Therefore, although Bennett lesions are typically not associated with posterior shoulder instability, it is important to recognize these lesions because they can be associated with posterior labral tears. In type II there is a small recess. Evaluation of the glenoid labrum with 3-T MRI: is intraarticular contrast necessary? -, J Shoulder Elbow Surg. These normal variants will usually not mimick a Bankart-lesion, since it is located at the 3-6 o'clock position, where these normal variants do not occur. Conclusions: Philadelphia, Pa: Lea & Blanchard; 1822, Pollock RG, Bigliani LU. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! posterior labral tear surgery. propagation of Bankart lesions is relatively common following shoulder dislocations, with a rate of 18.5%. In part II we will discuss shoulder instability. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD009020.pub2. Future larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. In addition to the discrepancy in posterior labral tear evaluations, radiologist 1 documented more pathology throughout the shoulder than radiologist 2. .
When comparing the 2 groups, they found that 12% of patients in the Bennett group had a posterior labral tear on MRI, whereas only 6.8% of patients in the non-Bennett group had a documented posterior labral tear, although the results were not statistically significant. Non-surgical treatment tends to be most successful in patients with a history of atraumatic subluxations, whereas patients who experience an acute, traumatic posterior dislocation are much less likely to report successful outcomes from conservative therapy.19 Non-operative therapy focuses on strengthening the dynamic shoulder stabilizers and activity modification. Some types of the posterior synovial fold can mimic a posterior labral tear in conventional MRI. Weishaupt D, Zanetti M, Nyffeler RW, Gerber C, Hodler J. Posterior glenoid rim deficiency in recurrent (atraumatic) posterior shoulder instability. Hill Sachs lesions are only seen at the level of the coracoid. 4B), which is what one would intuitively expect. Additionally, a recent study by Meyer et al9 highlighted the importance of x-rays in evaluation of posterior shoulder instability. The diagnostic value of magnetic resonance arthrography of the shoulder in detection and grading of SLAP lesions: comparison with arthroscopic findings. CT arthrography has been reported to have 97.3% accuracy for detecting Bankart lesions and 86.3% for SLAP lesions 4, which makes it comparable with MR arthrography and gives the possibility to examine the patients with contraindications to an MR examination. On MR arthrography, the mean posterior humeral translation was greater (6.2 mm 0.08; p = 0.019), posterior labral tears were longer (19.4 mm 1.7; p = 0.0008), and labrocapsular avulsion was more common (83%; p = 0.0001) in patients with posterior instability than in patients who had a posterior labral tear but a clinically stable shoulder. X-rays also demonstrate evidence of glenoid dysplasia (increased retroversion and hypoplasia), arthritic changes, and posterior humeral head subluxation or decentering of the humeral head. Chang IY, Polster JM. Objective To determine the prevalence of shoulder (specifically labral) abnormalities on MRI in a young non-athletic asymptomatic cohort. Study the labrum in the 3-6 o'clock position. A normal glenoid labrum has a laterally pointing edge and normal posterior labral morphology. Notice superior labrum and attachment of the superior glenohumeral ligament. They did find that smaller glenoid width was a risk factor for failure.12. Introduction. Imaging Studies. A hip (acetabular) labral tear is damage to cartilage and tissue in the hip socket. The biceps looked stable. even greater mobility of the os acromiale after surgery and worsening of the impingement (4). 1. Jun 23, 2021 by . Despite multiple studies documenting a clear significant association between subtle glenoid dysplasia and posterior labral tears with associated posterior shoulder instability, there is little evidence demonstrating an association with worse outcomes following surgical intervention. Look for excessive fluid in the subacromial bursa and for tears of the supraspinatus tendon. When the labrum gets damaged or torn, it puts the shoulder at increased risk for looseness and dislocation. Occasionally, a SLAP (superior labrum, anterior and posterior) fracture, which represents a superior humeral head compression . He has positive Kim and jerk tests and reproduction of symptoms with the shoulder in forward flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. In that position the 3-6 o'clock region is imaged perpendicular. Shah AA, Butler RB, Fowler R, Higgins LD. The most common symptoms of a shoulder labrum tear can occur intermittently. 2009;192: 730-735. eCollection 2020 May-Jun. . Etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. The abduction and external rotation of the arm releases tension on the cuff relative to the normal coronal view obtained with the arm in adduction. Detection of partial-thickness supraspinatus tendon tears: is a single direct MR arthrography series in ABER position as accurate as conventional MR arthrography? Bennett GE: Shoulder and elbow lesions of the professional baseball pitcher. MRI Shoulder Labrum Periosteal Stripping. While this certainly introduces vulnerability to injury, it also confers the advantage of broad range of motion. Fraying of the anterior section means some tearing of the surface with wispy threads emanating from that Purpose: Orthopedic surgeons will tell you that the labrum increases joint stability and serves as an anchor for ligaments and muscles. subchondral cysts and osteophytes (arrow). 2017; 209: 544-551. The axillary radiograph is also helpful in the traumatic scenario for identifying a posterior glenoid rim fracture or a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. Provencher MT, Dewing CB, Bell SJ, McCormick F, Solomon DJ, Rooney TB, Stanley M.An analysis of the rotator interval in patients with anterior, posterior, and multidirectional shoulder instability. eCollection 2019. a pointed glenoid on axial imaging sequences is a normal-appearing glenoid without dysplasia, a lazy J has a rounded appearance of the posterior inferior glenoid, and a delta glenoid is a triangular osseous deficiency. Glenoid retroversion was significantly associated with the development of posterior shoulder instability (P < .001). In two patients (Case 1 and 3) along with labral cysts with tear, showed, enlarged capsule and positive drive through sign.
