title: [Value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of sequels of shoulder joint injuries].
abstract: The paper presents the results of examining 45 persons with sequels of shoulder joint injuries, by applying magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (100%) and arthroscopy (95.6%). The data of arthroscopy were compared with those of MRI; thereafter the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI were calculated. The findings suggested that there was no statistically significant difference in the capacities of the two comparable techniques MRI and arthroscopy to diagnose labral tears with degenerative changes, synovitis, bursitis and tendinitis (McNemar's test; p > 0.05). The capacities of MRI are greater than those of arthroscopy only to detect the structural disintegrity of the joint shoulder.
