The authors analyzed 23 cases of shoulder arthrography performed at Busan National University Hospital and Inje Medical College Paik Hospital for about 2.5 years from March 1981 to September 1983, both clinically and radiologically. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Of the 23 cases, 20 cases (87.0%) were male and 3 cases (13.0%) were female, and the most prevalent age group was second decade. 2. Right shoulder arthrogaphy was performed in 16 cases (96.6%), and left in 7 cades (30.4%) 3. the number of cases which had had certain history of trauma was 13 (56.5%) and remainder of 10 cases (43,5%) had no history of trauma. 4. Frequent symptoms and signs were pain in shoulder region in 16 cases (69.6%) were normal, and 7 cases (30.4%) were abnormal. Those abnormal cases were consisted of 2 cases(8.7%) of adhesive capsulits, 2 cases (8.7%) of chronic shoulder dislocation, 1 case (4.3%) of rotator cuff tear, 1 case (4.3%) of loose bodies in joint cavity, and 1 case (4.3%) of rupture of biceps tendon sheath. 7. among routine views of shoulder arthrography of normal cases, the external rotation view revealed axillary recess & biceps tendon more distinctly, and the internal rotation the contour & thickness of the medial segment of the contrast-coated humeral articular cartilage were well demonstrated in erect views, with air-fluid levels in axillary recess, biceps tendon sheath & subscapular bursa. 8. The 2 cases of adhesive capsulitis revealed small joint space, obliteration of the axillary recess & subscapular bursa, and failure to fill the bicipital sheath.
