Reason: adhesive capsulitis History: L shoulder pain and stiffness ROTATOR CUFF: There is minimal increased signal intensity within the distal supraspinatus suggesting very mild tendinosis with perhaps minimal undersurface fraying, but we see no discrete tear of the supraspinatus and the muscle appears normal. The infraspinatus muscle and tendon appear intact. The teres minor muscle and tendon appear intact. The subscapularis muscle and tendon appear intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: The acromioclavicular joint is within normal limits. No fluid is identified within the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: The glenohumeral joint alignment is within normal limits. Subjectively, the articular cartilage of the glenohumeral joint appears thinned suggesting degeneration. We see no fluid-filled labral tear. There is no glenohumeral joint effusion.BICEPS TENDON: There is increased signal intensity within the tendon of the long head of the biceps, particularly within the rotator interval, just proximal to its extra-articular transition, suggesting mild tendinosis. ADDITIONAL
1. Mild stranding of the fat beneath the coracohumeral ligament, but otherwise no findings to suggest adhesive capsulitis.2. The glenohumeral joint cartilage appears thinned suggesting mild degeneration.3. Mild rotator cuff tendinosis and biceps tendinosis.4. Foci of metallic susceptibility artifact within the anterior soft tissues and glenohumeral joint presumably reflect prior surgery.
