Radiographic diagnosis of closed muscle and tendon injuries of the upper arm.
The authors report their experiences with a special radiographic diagnostic technique with 74 closed muscle injuries. They discuss the normal anatomy and the possibility of verifying pathologic alterations with soft X-rays. This technique not only allows a diagnosis of the trauma, but also provides a basic background for estimation and evaluation of partial and total disability.
