Abstract: | When examining an athlete who has acute or chronic shoulder pain, the initial diagnostic imaging method should be plain film radiography. This technique identifies most fractures, dislocations, calcific deposits, and degenerative processes. Other common shoulder disorders may be more readily diagnosed with different techniques, including bone scan, arthrogram, MRI, computed arthrotomogram, or CT. |
