MSK Imaging: Above and Below

Moderator: Linda Probyn

Five Easy Steps that will make Shoulder MRA your Favorite Study
Bruce Forster

Imaging assessment of shoulder instability remains controversial, especially with respect to the use of intra-articular contrast.  This presentation will review the current recommendations for work-up of patients, and will emphasize an easy approach to interpretation of shoulder MR arthrograms, considered by many to still be the gold standard in assessment for labral tears in athletic injury.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Review indications and technique of shoulder MR Arthrography (MRA)
- Recognize normal anatomy and variants of labro-ligamentous complex
- Develop an approach to interpreting shoulder MRA and understand Bankart and SLAP lesions, their variants, and mimics

MSK Ultrasound in The Emergency Department
Angela Atinga

A case based review of the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions in the emergency department and its role in problem solving.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Review the advantages of ultrasound assessment in the Emergency Department (ED)
- Discuss the common MSK pathologies encountered in the emergency department, with case- based examples
- Highlight the utility of ultrasound guided intervention for troubleshooting in the ED.

Demystifying TFCC Injuries at the Wrist
Cyrille Naim

This presentation will review relevant anatomy of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) on MRI, MR arthrogram, and CT arthrogram. The clinical relevance of different types of TFCC injuries will be addressed with case examples.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Review relevant anatomy of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and its depiction on cross-sectional imaging
- Differentiate the types of tears on imaging and their clinical relevance

Extra-articular Impingement at the Hip
Adnan Sheikh

Extra-articular hip impingement (EHI) is an emerging cluster of conditions linked to causes of impingement within the hip joint. It results from irregular contact between the outer regions of the proximal femur and the pelvis. This comprehensive overview delves into the primary forms of EHI, such as central iliopsoas impingement, subspine impingement, ischiofemoral impingement, and greater trochanteric-pelvic impingement. Each condition's clinical presentation will be examined, highlighting the shared features with intra-articular problems while also exploring their distinctive characteristics.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
-Identify extra-articular hip impingement, including its definition, causes, anatomical factors involved, and differentiate it from intra-articular impingement
- Describe diagnostic techniques and clinical evaluation
- Apply treatment options and management strategies

Role of Ultrasound in Traumatic Nerve Injury
Linda Probyn

The session will review the types of traumatic nerve injury including grading, prognosis and management in a case based format.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Distinguish types of nerve injury due to various forms of trauma
- Discuss imaging appearances of common traumatic nerve injuries, focusing on ultrasound.
