Introduction to MSK Ultras
ound of the Shoulder Joint
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound visualizes soft tissues in the shoulder
joint. It offers real-time imaging, is cost-effective, and radiation-free.
This course covers anatomy, scanning methods, and common
pathologies. The global MSK ultrasound market is projected to reach
$11.3 billion by 2028, reflecting its growing clinical importance.
FG
Shoulder Joint Anatomy: Key
Structures
Bony Landmarks
Humerus, scapula, clavicle form the shoulder frame.
Rotator Cuff Muscles
• Supraspinatus
• Infraspinatus
• Teres Minor
• Subscapularis
Tendons & Bursa
Tendons connect muscles; bursae reduce friction.
Sonographic
Appearance
Normal tissues appear hyperechoic with clear fibrillar patterns.
Ultrasound Transducers and
Knobology
Transducers
7-15 MHz linear probes provide high-resolution images.
Key Settings
Adjust depth, gain, focus, and Doppler for optimal imaging.
Image Optimization
Fine-tuning improves visualization of superficial MSK structures.
Proven Technology
Linear arrays outperform others for detailed soft tissue exams.
Scanning Techniques: Anterior
Approach
Patient Positioning
Seated with arm in slight external rotation.
Transducer
Placement
Place probe over bicipital groove to visualize biceps tendon.
Identifying Structures
Locate biceps and subscapularis tendons and glenohumeral joint.
Dynamic Assessment
Perform movements to check for impingement and tendon movement.
Scanning Techniques: Posterior and Lateral
Approaches
Posterior Approach
Evaluate supraspinatus
and infraspinatus tendons
for tears.
Lateral Approach
Assess acromioclavicular
joint and surrounding
bursae.
Fluid & Mass
Detection
Identify cysts, fluid
collections, or masses near
tendons.
Example
Craniocaudal view
effectively detects
supraspinatus tendon
tears.
Common Shoulder
Pathologies: Rotator Cuff
Tears
Partial Thickness Tears
Tendon fibers partially disrupted, causing thinning and fluid.
Full Thickness Tears
Complete tendon discontinuity with retraction visible sonographically.
Sonographic Signs
Look for hypoechoic gaps, tendon retraction, and surrounding fluid.
Accuracy
Ultrasound detects tears with 85-95% accuracy.
Common Shoulder Pathologies: Other
Conditions
Subacromial-subdeltoid
Bursitis
Inflammation causing fluid in bursa,
seen as anechoic area.
1
Biceps Tendinopathy
Tendon thickening and irregularity due
to overuse or injury.
2
Joint Effusion
Fluid accumulation in the glenohumeral
joint space.
3
Calcific Tendinitis
Calcium deposits appearing as
hyperechoic foci with shadowing.
4
Conclusion: Integrating MSK
Ultrasound in Practice
POCUS Benefits
Quick bedside diagnosis improves treatment efficiency and outcomes.
Diagnostic Accuracy
Ultrasound guidance increases injection accuracy by 30-40%.
Further Learning
Advanced courses and resources enhance skills and knowledge.
Impact
Integrating ultrasound elevates patient care and clinical confidence.
