Abstract

The intraarticular pressure was determined in 24 shoulders during glenohumeral joint arthrography. As the contrast volume increased, the pressure stayed low in the shoulders with a tear of the rotator cuff and rose along a characteristic biphasic curve in intact shoulders. Simultaneous monitoring of the intraarticular pressure can improve the diagnostic value of arthrography.
