Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of clinical diagnosis by comparing with preoperative physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images in patients who were arthroscopically diagnosed as having Superior Labrum Anterior-Posterior (SLAP) II lesions.
Materials And Methods: 134 patients, arthroscopically diagnosed as SLAP II, established the study group, and 200 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for the other pathologies established the control group. Preoperative clinical examination of the patients, MRI findings, and the arthroscopic findings of the patients were recorded.
Results: Out of the patients diagnosed with a SLAP II lesion, 107 (79.9) of those had an MRI finding while only 60 (30%) of the control group had it. The O'Brien test results of the patients diagnosed with SLAP were positive in 111 (82.8%) while those diagnosed with intact superior labrum were positive in 132 (66%). Of the 134 patients with a SLAP II lesion, 89 (66.4%) had both O'Brien test positiveness and MRI finding, and 129 (96%) had at least one positive result of the O'Brien test or MRI examination.
Conclusion: The O'Brien test and MRI examination are not capable enough to indicate a SLAP lesion one by one, because of the low sensitivity and specificity. But, combining the test with MRI findings provides more trustable information about the superior labrum.

Role of Magnetic Resonance Arthrography (MRA) in the Diagnosis of Shoulder Injuries.

Background: Imaging continues to have a crucial role in evaluating patients with shoulder pain, helping to make treatment choices. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA), rather than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is now routinely used to diagnose shoulder injuries. Against the gold standard investigation of arthroscopy, the study aimed to determine the accuracy of MRA in the evaluation of shoulder injuries.

Suprascapular neuropathy caused by spinoglenoid notch cysts (SGNCs) is a rare condition with unclear etiology, typically presenting with significant shoulder pain and weakness. This case report describes two patients who underwent arthroscopic decompression and cyst excision: one with a labral lesion and the other with an isolated cyst. The patient with labral involvement was treated via the labral repair approach, while the patient without labral pathology underwent a direct decompression of the cyst through the subacromial space.

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are common shoulder injuries. The most common causes of ACJ dislocations may also lead to SLAP lesions, which are the most common types of labral tears associated with ACJ dislocations. Tenotomy of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is one viable alternative for proximal biceps tendon pathology or SLAP tears, yielding high patient satisfaction.

Background: Pathologies of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon are frequently seen as concomitant pathologies during arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff injuries or the labroligamentous complex of the shoulder. Currently, there are two treatment options: Tenotomy is quick and easy to perform with low complications rates, but has limited functional results, especially in demanding patients; tenodesis of the tendon has shown beneficial cosmetic and functional results, but usually requires an implant for tendon-to-bone attachment and, therefore, carries the risk of implant-related complications. The implant-free loop tenodesis (LT) procedure was developed to combine the advantages of both treatment modalities and has shown promising functional and cosmetic results in a prospective pilot study.

The landscape of computer vision is predominantly shaped by two groundbreaking methodologies: transformers and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this study, we aim to introduce an innovative mobile CNN architecture designed for orthopedic imaging that efficiently identifies both Bankart and SLAP lesions. Our approach involved the collection of two distinct magnetic resonance (MR) image datasets, with the primary goal of automating the detection of Bankart and SLAP lesions.
