My orthopedic is out and I can't see him until 1 July. I went ahead and got my results from the MRI he scheduled me for, but don't quite understand them. Was hoping someone could help.
IMPRESSION:
1.Subtle blunting and degeneration of the inferior labrum without frank tearing.
2. Subtle partial tearing of the inferior glenohumeral ligament at its humeral insertion.
FINDINGS:
No gadolinium accumulating in the subacrominal or subdeltoid bursa and therefore I do not see any evidence of a full thickness rotator cuff tear. Biceps labral anchor appears intact w/o evidence of SLAP tear. The AC joint is degenerated with no significant mass effect on the underlying supraspinatus. There is no significant athrophy of the mucles in the rotator cuff. I do not see any displaced labral tears. There is subtle irregularity seen involving the inferior labrum on the ABER images only with somewhat globular nonlinear accumulation of gadolinium into the inferior glenoid labrum. This is suggestive of some glenoid labral degeneration but without frank tearing. The posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is poorly defined and may be congenitally hypoplastic. There is some gadolinium accumulating near the insertion of the glenohumeral ligament on the humeral neck best visualized on coronal image #11. Accumulation of gadolinium on the opposite side of the ligamentous insertion suggests that there has been a small tear of the inferior glenohumeral ligament at its insertion of the humeral neck. There is no complete tear and I do not see the classic "J" sign of a complete humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL). The middle and superior glenohumeral ligaments appear intact. The anterior inferior labrum is slightly blunted. The is no Hill-Sachs or bone Bankart injury.
Mainly just hoping to find out if this is something I will need surgery for or maybe just PT. I have lost almost 1/2 of my bench strength and have virtually no strength overhead with military press or incline benching. I wasn't able to get 70lbs to budge off the rack on the incline 2 weeks ago. Shoulders hurt when I move my arms in certain directions, especially backwards, perpendicular to the ground. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also, after experiencing symptoms, stopped working upperbody for 1 1/2 months, but problems did not improve.
