Assessment of the unstable shoulder by computed arthrography

Abstract

The evaluation of 10 patients with subluxing and dis locating shoulder is presented. Routine radiography with special views detected the presence of Hill Sachs lesions in seven patients, but was not conclusive for three patients. Soft tissue and bone anomalies were documented by computed arthrography in all 10 pa tients. Computed arthrography represents a valuable tool in the diagnosis of obscure unstable shoulders.
