Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to anatomically confirm that anterior shoulder injection could result in penetration of the anterior stabilizing structures of the glenohumeral joint and to advocate the use of a tailored approach to MR arthrography based on presenting symptoms. CONCLUSION: A tailored approach to MR arthrography may be a useful way to isolate expected pathology in the shoulder and limit confounding findings related to the performance of the procedure.
