Male 24 years old Reason: evaluate for internal derangement. fell onto shoulder 2/17/15. History: Left shoulder pain, pain with overhead activity There is diffuse signal abnormality within the greater tuberosity consistent with edema related to a known minimally displaced greater tuberosity fracture seen on recent radiographs. A discrete fracture plane is not well seen on this study. There is mild increased signal intensity of the distal fibers of the supraspinatus tendon, likely related to edema secondary to the aforementioned greater tuberosity fracture, but we see no tendon tear. The supraspinatus muscle appears normal. The infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis tendons and muscles appear normal.The acromioclavicular joint appears normal. No frank fluid is identified within the subacromial subdeltoid bursa. .Given the limitations of this non-arthrographic study, no labral abnormalities are identified. There is no joint effusion. Glenohumeral joint alignment is normal.The tendon of the long head of the biceps is normal given the limitations of this non-arthrographic study.
Edema within the greater tuberosity reflecting patient's known greater tuberosity fracture, better seen on recent radiographs. The shoulder is otherwise unremarkable.
