The Importance Of Seeing An Orthopedic Surgeon For Shoulder Pain

Dr. Burns: Most issues with the shoulder you can wait on. A lot of times if it's a small labral tear, if it's inflammation, sometimes those things will calm down over time and symptoms will go away. Other times though, you can have a significant issue such as a full thickness rotator cuff tear where the tendons actually torn all the way off the bone. And that can lead to worsening of that tear where over time that tear becomes larger and larger, and it can get to the point where you can't fix it. So you could make a problem that's very easily solvable with a quick arthroscopic surgery to something where you can't really solve it that easily with arthroscopic surgery you may need some type of bigger operation, a shoulder replacement for instance, where it could have been solved earlier with earlier intervention.

INDICATION: Shoulder trauma, rotator cuff tear suspected, xray done
COMPARISON: 5/24/2023

TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MR imaging of the right shoulder without contrast.

FINDINGS:
Bones: No evidence of fracture, suspicious osseous lesion, or osteonecrosis.
Soft tissues: Small amount of subacromial/subdeltoid fluid.
Glenohumeral joint: No malalignment. No effusion. No significant degenerative changes.
