title: The Bennett lesion of the shoulder.
abstract: In this article we review the imaging features and significance of the Bennett lesion of the shoulder. Standard radiographic, computed arthrotomographic, and MR findings in three baseball pitchers diagnosed with Bennett lesions of the shoulder are discussed. A crescent-shaped region of mineralization at the posteroinferior aspect of the glenoid rim, consistent with a Bennett lesion, arises at the insertion of the posterior joint capsule. The diagnosis of this lesion, typically in baseball pitchers, should raise suspicion for associated labral and rotator cuff abnormalities.
