1) Review indications for and technique of shoulder MR Arthrography (MRA). 2) Appreciate the normal anatomy and normal variants of the labro-ligamentous complex. 3) Develop an approach to interpreting shoulder MRA and understand Bankart and SLAP lesions, their variants, and mimics.
Shoulder MR arthrography (MRA) remains the most sensitivie and specific imaging test for evaluating the shoulder labro-ligamentous complex. This presentation will focus on developing an simplified five step approach to evaluating the unstable shoulder, whilst reviewing normal anatomy (including variants such as sub-labral foramen and Buford complex) Bankart lesions, Bankart variants such as Perthes and ALPSA lesions, and indirect non-arthrographic signs of instability.
