Question
Retractable capsulitis
MRI: thickened and retracted capsule with strong enhancement after contrast injection. The hyperintense subchondral line is pathognomonic for adhesive capsulitis.
How can the radiologist help the patient?
Answer
After analgesia, the radiologist performs an ARTHRODISTENSION by injecting 0.9% NaCl with Kenacort to distend the joint capsule (here, 15 ml)
