Video Summary

In this video, Mason Yoder, a first-year resident at the University of Michigan, presents a study on the objective diagnosis of multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder in adolescent patients. MDI is characterized by shoulder instability in multiple directions, often challenging to diagnose due to variability in physical exam interpretation. The study aimed to identify objective criteria for MDI diagnosis based on shoulder capsular dimensions using MR imaging. The study analyzed the medical records and MR arthrograms of patients treated for shoulder instability at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The results showed that measuring the rotator interval depth and inferior capsule on MR arthrography could aid in diagnosing MDI. The study suggests further validation in prospective studies.
