Below you'll read what the Dr had found as of a few weeks ago. I've had minor problems since the surgery and wanted to see what youguys got out of this report.
MR OF THE LEFF SHOULDER
TECHNIQUE: Oblique sagittal FSE Tl, oblique coronal FSE Tl/fat suppressed FSE T2/volumetrically acquired T2* and axial FSE T1 images of the left shoulder.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Recurring subluxation.
FINDINGS: Metallic microfragments are identified anteriorly and posteriorly to the glenoliumeral Joint, indicative of previous surgical procedure.
There is redemonstration of a shallow creator like defect involving the superior posterior aspect of the hurneral head, in keeping with a Hill-Sachs lesion, as seen on the previous. There likely is a small bony defect of the glenold, occurring at approximately 6 o'clock position, also unchanged from the last MR.
There is persistent shoulderjoint effusion, with fluid tracking into the proximal longhead biceps tendon and into the axillary pouch. The patient unfortunately moved a little bit during the exarmination. Allowing for the motion related artifacts, the rotator cuff tendons are intact though there probably is some degree of tendinosis involving the supra and spinatus tendons. The signal of the bone marrow on the shoulder Joint is generally of fatty intensity without edema. Mild degenerative changes of the acrornioclavicular 'oint. The labrum is not well seen.
