Radiological Evaluation Paper

Recently over the previous decades, concussions have increasingly received attention in the world of sports. A concussion is a serious head injury that can happen to any player, and in just about any sport. Indeed, it has been happening to a countless number of athletes for centuries. However, it is also important to note that a concussion can also take place outside of sports, meaning it can happen to anybody. For instance, there have been incidents where a person tripped while running, fell, and the impact of their head’s contact with the ground has caused a concussion. Or, in a car accident many front-seat passengers, or even the driver, have slammed their heads against the dashboard/steering wheel, also possibly resulting in a concussion.

On examination, the wrist shows radiocarpal joint swelling, with decreased range of motion. Flexion-extension is restricted, but pronosupination is full. Digital motion is without significant restriction.

MRI of the right shoulder obtained on 12/29/15 showed limited portions of the study due to motion artifact. There is a full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon. The torn tendon is indistinct but appears to be retracted to the level of the acromioclavicular joint. Mild arthritis changes are noted.

The MRI revealed a troublesome rotator cuff tear in Lt. Scalzo’s left shoulder. Since the condition required an immediate treatment, Dr. Tehrany recommended and promptly scheduled a shoulder surgery to repair the rotator cuff tear.

On behalf of Cpt Wu 's, Major Blount reviewed have reviewed your MRI. MRI findings are the following: 1. Degenerative tear of the glenoid labrum. 2. Full-thickness tear of the anterior portion of the supraspinatus tendon. 3. Partial thickness articular surface tear of the remaining portion of the supraspinatus tendon and infraspinatus tendon and subscapularis tendinopathy. 4. Severe osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joint.

Without a doubt, there has always been a great risk of injury while participating in contact sports. The participants involved in any contact sporting event are always susceptible to being injured. These participants are completely aware of the everyday risk, but the energy that these sports bring, keep them going regardless. Over the years, there have been countless numbers of injuries due to the nature of these sports, but still millions of people young to old gain interest everyday. While people young to old are gaining interest everyday to contact sports many parents of young children are being faced with the issue either to allow their children to participate in often dangerous sports.

The plaintiff lives at 606 East 49th Street in Brooklyn with his mother, aunt and grandfather. He is currently employed by Sprint. At the time of the accident he was employed by Metro PCS, he had worked with them for 2 years prior to the accident as a customer service agent. He had health insurance but no fault paid his medical bills.

As the reports have indicated from Dr. Hogans, a neurologist and pain management doctor, I have experiencing neurological issues in my shoulder which have been noted by the PTs at National Rehab Hospital and now the Work Hardening PT, Michael

DOI: 6/25/2007. Patient is a 37-year-old female store manager who sustained injury when a tote slipped off shelf and struck her left side of the body. Per OMNI, she is status post ulnar nerve decompression on 03/11/08, left De Quervain’s release on 09/08/09, spinal cord stimulator implant on 08/03/11 and shoulder surgery on 01/19/15.

A common spot for injuries is with the shoulder joint that is involving the rotator cuff. A rotator cuff tear is common injury that can occur either over time of overuse, lifting objects, breaking the clavicle bone, also known at the collarbone or even falling are acute injuries that can cause a rotator cuff tear. This type of injury mostly affects athletes, jobs with repetitive motion such as lifting and people who are 40 years of age and older. Depending on the severity of the rotator cuff treatments can vary as well. The tear may be a partial tear or a complete tear of the rotator cuff tendon called supraspinatus tendon. This tendon is located on the supraspinatus muscle and attached to the head of the humerus bone. This treatment would

A ligament is a strong band of tissue that connects and supports bones. Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury happens when the UCL at the base of the thumb is stretched or torn. A tear can be either partial or complete. The severity of the injury depends on how much of the ligament was damaged or torn.

Sometimes a CT or even an MRI can be performed to provide a detailed image of the joint 's bone structure.

Impingements on the shoulder occurs when the soft tissues of your rotator cuff become inflamed and swollen. When this happens, there will be an expansion in size and this will make movement of the shoulders a little bit difficult. This will cause pinching between the shoulder blade and the arm bone when you try to move your shoulders. Shoulder impingements can arise as a result of the repetitive use of the shoulders or when you fall.

Diagnostic Accuracy of the investigation will be assessed via sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CT scan taking histopathology findings as true negative or positive.
