Article Synopsis
- * This surgery is indicated for conditions like arthritis, fractures, and severe rotator cuff issues, with different types of arthroplasties available, including total, hemi-, and reverse shoulder arthroplasties, each having specific uses and risks.
- * Imaging techniques like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are crucial for evaluating the shoulder before and after surgery, helping identify any complications and assessing the condition of the shoulder post-operatively.
Gout, a crystalline arthropathy caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the articular and periarticular soft tissues, is a frequent cause of painful arthropathy. Imaging has an important role in the initial evaluation as well as the treatment and follow up of gouty arthropathy. The imaging findings of gouty arthropathy on radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, dual energy computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are described to include findings of the early, acute and chronic phases of gout.

OI is a genetic disorder with mutation of Type 1 and non-type 1 collagen genes that results in disruption of multiple collagen based organ systems, most notably bones, often leading to "brittle bones". Additional features such as blue sclera, dentinogenesis imperfecta, joint and ligamentous hyperlaxity, hearing loss and cardiac defects may be present.
