After having examined you (mobility of the shoulder, tests of apprehension etc …) it will ask for additional examinations like X-rays but especially a arthroscanner (scanner preceded by an injection of contrast medium iodized in the articulation of the shoulder ) which makes it possible to clearly specify the ligamentous and osseous lesions.
