Computed arthrotomography of glenohumeral instability.
In spite of recent advances in imaging technology, computed arthrotomography continues to be a useful imaging modality for shoulder evaluation. The spatial resolution of computed tomography (CT) and the longer clinical experience continue to provide advantages over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Computed arthrotomography remains a simple and reliable method for evaluation of the glenoid labrum in patients with shoulder instability.
