MRI Findings for Frozen Shoulder Evaluation: Is the Thickness of the Coracohumeral Ligament a Valuable Diagnostic Tool?

摘要: Background Recent studies have demonstrated that the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) is shortened and thickened in a frozen shoulder. We analyzed rate CHL visualization between patients with shoulder normal volunteers using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine thickness shoulder. Methods Findings There were 72 joints (50 femles 22 males mean age of 53.5 years) clinical evidence MR imaging These prospectively identify measure maximum CHL. The control group, which included 120 60 volunteer individuals (30 females 30 50.5 was also referred for imaging. A chi-square test used analyze data group. two-way ANOVA maximal visualized 110 out shoulders group (91.7%), 57 (79.2%), there significant difference, (P 0.05). Conclusions MR satisfactory method depiction, highly suggestive
