[The diagnostic value of double contrast CT in shoulder dislocation]
Abstract:
The article reports of the indication, technique and results of the shoulder joint double-contrast-computertomography. It discuss its diagnostic value in comparison to other examining methods. As alternative preoperative diagnostic procedures only arthroscopy, arthrography and MRI can be considered. Also discussed are the therapeutic consequences resulting from the nature of the pathological lesions (rupture of the limbus glenoidalis, Hill-Sachs-defect, reversed Hill-Sachs-defect). Especially for the first traumatic dislocations of the shoulder joint, we consider this investigational method an eminent enlargement of the diagnostic spectrum. Therefore, we are generous with its indication, attempting to prevent reluxations by primary diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
