Main Results:

  • Indirect MR arthrography is a viable noninvasive alternative.
  • It shows potential in diagnosing rotator cuff tears, glenoid labrum tears, meniscal tears, and osteochondritis dissecans.
  • The technique can potentially obviate the need for invasive procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Indirect MR arthrography is recommended for MRI diagnostic arrays.
  • It offers a simpler, noninvasive approach to diagnosing various joint diseases.
  • This technique may alter the diagnostic work-up for several musculoskeletal conditions.
