Shoulder Imaging in the Athlete (2024)-M7-CMK01-2024

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript focuses on various aspects of shoulder imaging and post-operative assessment related to shoulder instability and rotator cuff pathology in athletes. Moderated by Redo Sutter from Zurich, Switzerland, the session features multiple experts discussing advanced imaging techniques and evaluations.<br /><br />Diana Alfonso from Lisbon opens with an overview of shoulder instability, emphasizing the prevalence and recurrence of glenohumeral dislocations, particularly anterior ones. She highlights the importance of MRI in diagnosing associated lesions such as Bankart lesions, Hill-Sachs lesions, and Purt's lesions, and explains the significance of bone and soft tissue damage in these cases.<br /><br />Chang-Ah Choi from Korea continues with a focus on labral and cartilage assessments, particularly on superior labral lesions (SLAP tears) in throwing athletes. She outlines diagnostic criteria, imaging techniques, and classification of SLAP tear types.<br /><br />Ben Fritz and Redo Sutter discuss rotator cuff pathologies and post-operative imaging, emphasizing the importance of recognizing tendon tears, muscle atrophy, and fatty degeneration using MRI. They also underline the role of preoperative imaging in predicting postoperative outcomes and the significance of accurately reporting tear characteristics.<br /><br />Finally, Mohammad Samin from NYU explains the management of post-operative shoulder instability, addressing surgical techniques like Bankart repair, Laterjet procedures, and the management of Hill-Sachs lesions. He stresses the necessity of evaluating repair integrity, fixation hardware, and potential complications using advanced imaging modalities.
