title: MRI of shoulder trauma.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an invaluable tool for evaluating traumatic injuries of the shoulder. This article discusses MRI of shoulder trauma based on mechanism of injury. Acute direct traumatic injuries, acute indirect traumatic injuries, and repetitive microtraumatic injuries (impingement/traction) are discussed. Finally, common pitfalls in shoulder imaging are addressed.
