description: Written by leading experts in MR imaging, orthopaedic surgery, and sports medicine, this volume is a comprehensive state-of-the-art guide to the use of MR imaging and MR arthrography in evaluating shoulder disorders. Coverage begins with a review of normal and variant shoulder anatomy, a practical summary of technical considerations in shoulder MR imaging, and a description of MR arthrography by one of the pioneers of this technique. Also included are reviews of shoulder biomechanics and clinical assessment of shoulder pain. Subsequent chapters cover specific clinical problems diagnosable by MRI--rotator cuff conditions, glenohumeral instability, bicipital tendon disorders (including SLAP lesions), the postoperative shoulder, arthritis, and miscellaneous disorders. Each chapter includes extensive descriptions of MRI findings and clinical and arthroscopic correlations. More than 650 illustrations, 73 in full color, complement the text.
