Abstract:
The authors analyzed 23 cases of shoulder arthrography performed at Busan National University Hospital and Inje Medical College Paik Hospital for about 2.5 years from March 1981 to Sept. 1983, both clinically and radiologically. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Of the 23 cases, 20 cases (87.0%) were male and 3 cases(13.0%) were female, and the most prevalent age group was second decade. 2. Right shoulder arthrography was performed in 16 cases (69.6%), and left in 7 cases (30.4%). 3. The number of cases which had had certain historyof trauma was 13(56.5%), and remainder of 10 cases (43.5%) had no history of trauma. 4. Frequent symptoms andsigns were pain in shoulder region in 16 cases (69.6%) and limitation of motion in 14 cases (60.9%). 5. On plainfilm findings, 18 cases(78.3%) were normal, and 5 cases (21.7%) were abnormal. 6. On shoulder arthrographicfindings, 16 cases (69.6%) were normal, and 7 cases (30.4%) were abnormal, Those abnormal cases were consisted of2 case (8.7%) of adhesive capsulitis, 2 cases (8.7%) of chronic shoulder dislocation, 1 case(4.3%) of rotator cuff tear, 1 case(4.3%) of loose bodies in joint cavity, and 1 case(4.3%) of rupture of biceps tendon sheath. 7. Among routine views of shoulder arthrography of normal cases, the external rotation view revealed axillary recess &biceps tendon more distinctly, and the internal rotaion view revealed subscapular bursa more clearly. In case of double-contrast shoulder arthrography, the contour & thickness of the medial segment of the contrast
