Measurement of the Coracohumeral Distance on MRI in a Large Patient Cohort

Coracoid impingement syndrome is an increasingly recognized etiology of anterior shoulder pain. Numerus studies have documented the coracohumeral distance (CHD) as a primary or secondary measurement in symptomatic individuals, but there lacks an evaluation of CHD in a large cohort of asymptomatic individuals. The purpose of this study is to quantify a normative distribution of the coracohumeral distance in a large cohort of healthy, asymptomatic subjects with no history of impingement or shoulder instability.
