概要

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this work was to characterize the MR features of post-traumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle in patients who have sustained a previous separation of the ipsilateral acromioclavicular (AC) joint.

METHODS

We studied eight male patients (mean age 25 years) with intractable pain in the AC joint after sustaining a traumatic joint separation. With use of the Rockwood classification, the separations were classified as Type 1 in one patient, Type 2 in two patients, and Type 3 in five patients. The MR studies were evaluated for periarticular soft tissue swelling, cortical irregularity defined as thinning or absence of portions of the cortex in the acromial and clavicular articular surfaces, hypertrophic osseous changes, periostitis, bone marrow edema, periarticular cyst-like changes, and joint space widening exceeding 6 mm. Radiographs were evaluated independently of the MR studies. Osteolysis of the distal clavicle was confirmed pathologically in seven patients and with surgery in one patient.

RESULTS

The incidence of osteolysis in patients who have had a previous AC joint separation was estimated to be approximately 6%. Observations on MRI included soft tissue swelling, bone marrow edema in the distal clavicle, and cortical irregularity associated with periarticular cyst-like erosions in eight patients, joint space widening in six patients, clavicular periostitis in three patients, and marrow edema in the cromion in five patients. Only one patient had osteophyte formation. Radiographic observations of periarticular soft tissue swelling, osteopenia of the distal clavicle, articular erosions, and joint space widening allowed diagnosis in only four patients prospectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The MR features of posttraumatic osteolysis are characteristic of this process. We advocate the use of MRI in patients with chronic AC joint pain who have had a prior AC joint dislocation, particularly if follow-up radiographs are nonspecific, equivocal, or do not indicate the presence of secondary osteoarthritis.
