I have an MRI from My shoulder please explain what does this result mean ?

Question

This my MRI result :
Finding:
the humerus is in alignment and there is a small joint effusion.Long biceps tendon and the labral anchor are grossly intact.there is some fluid in the tendon sheath.
there is abnormal signal in the labra with poorly defined labral margins inferiorly,anterior worse than posterior.
There is a 2--mm fluid focus in the supraspinatus tendon at the humeral attachment. there is an oblique linear fluid focus in the subscapularis tendon extending to the bursal surface distally .
infraspinatus and teresminor tendon are normal.
There is a very small amount of fluid in the subdeltoid bursa.
The acromioclavicular joint in intact. There is severe lateral downsloping of a type 1 acromion . The coraccoacromial and coracoclavicular ligaments appear intact.

Answer 1

there's no ligament tears, no joint abnormalities other than some fluid (effusions)- meaning there's nothing a surgeon can operate on. they'll probably just give you anti-inflammatory medications and tell you to rest the shoulder.

Answer 2

You should consult with your orthopedic surgeon. Often their reading is a little different from the Radiologist's (I am assuming this is the Radiologist's interpretation). Basically this result shows some injury to the rotator cuff (the supraspinatus is one of the four rotator cuff muscles) and possibly the labrum (lining of the bone in the joint). It doesn't sound severe (there is no report of a full thickness tear), so I doubt surgery would be indicated. The fluid in the subdeltoid bursa denotes an inflammatory reaction. Sounds like an injury that should improve over time or with physical therapy, but I would suggest following up with your sports doc.

The findings are not conclusive for your torn labrum. It looks as though it is not 'complete' meaning it is still intact. "Type II anterior capsular insertion" refers to the fact that you were nearly dislocated or born with a birth defect. Since your labrum is torn...I'm venturing a guess that this 'near' dislocation is due to the fact that you were injured and has nothing to do with a birth defect. With this type of injury there is always a chance that it will heal on its own, however, you will be offered a surgical route. Discus the pros and cons with your doctor. IF you wait around on your decision and it doesn't heal then success of surgery may be limited. Choose wisely. No one like surgery but sometimes its necessary. Physical therapy at home is not recommend unless you are already nearly recovered. Yikes..the advice people give! Always work with a licensed therapist. This is a serious injury.

Answer 5

I'm not trying to be a smart a***, but I can't diagnose because I'm no doctor. Don't let medical terms scare you...have your doc or a radiologist explain this. I'm not being rude to you, but from the sound of it you have somewhat of a medical background and can already read and are studying Latin. I believe you know already. Not a judgement, just a comment.

Answer 6

Grossly Intact

Answer 7

Your upper arm bone is not broken and normal.Your shoulder joint has minimal extra fluid(which will disappear).Your biceps muscle is normal.The cavity of shoulder blade into which your humerus fits is normal.Muscles going from lower and upper part of shoulder blade to upper arm bone are normal.There is minimum fluid below deltoid muscle which keeps your shoulder round(which will also disappear)
The joint between shoulder blade and collar bone also is normal.
Take Aspirin and relax.

Answer 8

i bet the doctor had a real fun time typing out those spelling words :P

by what i see, everything is normal, but you have some fluid in one of your tendons. i don't really understand much more. mabe you have a slightly inflamed tendon, but it says grossly intact, so your tendon might just be either damaged (Temporarily) or some disease/bacteria thingy.

i am no doctor, so don't take my opinion professionally.

Answer 9

I can well understand that you are having trouble wading through all the Latin. Unfortunately, my anatomy kowledge is not sufficient to interpret what appears to be the most important of the findings (acromion); this is a job for an orthopedic surgeon, who will be able to make sense of this mess and be able to tell you what, if anything, you should do about it.

Answer 10

What does rotator cuff does appear grossly intact
