ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT IN ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT OSTEOARTHRITIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: 1. To describe the clinical characteristics of the acromioclavicular joint in patients with shoulder pain; 2. To evaluate the ultrasound assessment of the acromioclavicular joint in patients with shoulder pain. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 72 patients examined for shoulder pain at Outpatient Department of the Rheumatology Center, Bach Mai Hospital from January to June 2024. Results: Prevalence of patient who presented clinical manifestations of acromioclavicular osteoarthritis was 6,9%. The detection rate of acromioclavicular osteoarthritis on ultrasound was 54,8%, of which 20,8% showed inflammatory reactions. The frequency of lesions detected on ultrasound: joint space narrowing was 36,1%; bone spurs was 18,8% and bone erosion was 9,7%. Conclusion: Ultrasound helps diagnose and detect degenerative lesions of acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis.
