Video Summary

In this video, Mason Yoder, a first-year resident at the University of Michigan, presents a study he conducted during his medical training at the University of Cincinnati. The study, titled "Measurements for Objective Diagnosis of Multidirectional Instability of the Shoulder in Adolescent Patients," focused on identifying objective criteria for diagnosing multidirectional instability (MDI) in the shoulder using MRI imaging. The study compared the shoulder capsular dimensions of 24 MDI patients with 25 patients who had anterior shoulder instability. The results showed that the rotator interval depth and posterior-inferior and posterior-inferior capsular dimensions were significantly wider in the MDI group. The study suggests that certain thresholds, such as a 7.4mm rotator interval depth and a 24mm inferior capsule measurement, could aid in the diagnosis of MDI in adolescent patients. Further research is needed to validate these findings in a prospective fashion.
