Recent MRI Study of Acute Shoulder Trauma

Abstract

The shoulder joint is composed of three bones and five articulations. Normal shoulder function is essential for day-to-day life and many popular sports. There are many causes of painful shoulder syndrome. Shoulder injuries are common accounting for up to 20% of all athletic injuries. These injuries pose an important burden on injured athletes and their families. Clinical aspects of shoulder trauma include clavicular fractures, proximal humeral fractures, glenohumeral dislocations, acromioclavicular sprain and rotator cuff tears. NO significant difference existed during the study regarding sex-difference training the same kind of sport. Weight lifting is the most frequent sport type suffered shoulder morbidity due to overexertion type of traction trauma. While team sport is the most frequent sports type suffered shoulder morbidity due to direct impact trauma of the shoulder or FOOSH. MRI is a great and effective way for evaluating shoulder joint; all cases can be correctly diagnosed whatever the shoulder disorder is. Careful and accurate history taking before MRI study is a helpful tool to complete the study.
