In the setting of glenohumeral instability or when internal derangement of the shoulder joint is suspected, MR arthrography has been demonstrated to be an accurate diagnostic imaging technique. Knowledge of the complex anatomy of the shoulder and its variations is essential in order to maximize diagnostic accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sixty-seven cases of osteoid osteoma were studied at the Hospital for Joint Diseases between 1980 and 1989. The lesions were categorized according to location: medullary, cortical, or subperiosteal and were further grouped as intracapsular and extracapsular. The histologic features of trabecular thickness, reactive bone formation, proportion of fibrovascular stroma, and ratio of osteoid and mineralized matrix were examined. The radiographic features were compared. The literature is reviewed. We include our experience with tetracycline labelling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ischium represents one of the rarest sites of giant cell tumor of bone. Two additional cases are presented here. The unusual site, aggressive appearance and occurrence in older individuals are suggestive of other primary and secondary malignancies. Characteristic features of giant cell tumor and current treatment options are reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The middle glenohumeral ligament frequently presents variations of the normal anatomy and it is often injured in patients suffering trauma to the glenohumeral joint. The purpose of this pictorial assay is to illustrate the normal anatomy, biomechanics, normal variants and pathology of the middle glenohumeral ligament, as shown on MRI and MR arthrography of the shoulder.
