What Does My MRI Scan Indicate?
Question: I had a MRI done on my shoulder and the findings are
Acromioclavicular Joint: Mild hypertrophy of the distal clavicle. The joint space is relatively well-maintained.
Acromial Morphology: Type 2
Rotator Cuff: Some tendinosis of the supraspinatus tendon anteriorly. Question mild tendonitis of the subscapularis tendon distally. No rotator cuff tear or retraction.
Muscle Atrophy: none
Rotator Interval: Normal.
Long head of Biceps Tendon: See below.
Labrum: There is a superior labrum anterior posterior tear which may extend into the proximal biceps tendon.
Glenohumeral Joint: Normal
Glenohumeral Ligaments: Visible ligaments are normal
Effusion/Bursitis: None
Soft Tissues: Normal
Bones: Normal
IMPRESSION:
SUPERIOR LABRUM ANTERIOR POSTERIOR TEAR MAY EXTEND INTO THE PROXIMAL BICEPS TENDON
IF NEEDED THIS COULD BE ASSESSED IN GREATER DETAIL WITH MR ARTHROGRAPHY
MILD TENDONITIS OF THE SUPRASPINATUS AND SUBSCAPULARIS TENDONS WITHOUT TEAR OR RETRACTION
Please could explain what this all means? Why dose my tricep hurt?
