Abstract
|

|
|
The development of high resolution ultrasonographic technique made it possible to investigate a variety of musculoskeletal diseases using ultrasound. Shoulder pain is one of the most frequently examined musculoskeletal disorders by ultrasonography. It is because sonography has a strong diagnostic power for rotator cuff tendon problems, which are very common causes of the shoulder pain. For this reason, many sonographers pay much attention to the rotator cuff tendon disorders, while the importance of the non-rotator cuff lesions in shoulder sonography is less appreciated. However, it would be impossible to make an accurate diagnosis of shoulder disorders if one does not have a comprehensive and thorough knowledge and experience on both rotator cuff and non-rotator cuff lesions, because many cases of shoulder pain are caused by non-rotator cuff lesions and sometimes they are closely associated with rotator cuff lesions. This review includes pictorial descriptions of the sonographic findings of non-rotator cuff pathologies.
