Abstract
Pediatric acquired and congenital conditions leading to shoulder pain and dysfunction are common. Objective, quantitative musculoskeletal imaging-based measures of shoulder health in children lag recent developments in adults. We review promising applications of quantitative imaging that tend to be available for common pediatric shoulder pathologies, especially brachial plexus birth palsy and recurrent shoulder instability, and imaging-related considerations of musculoskeletal growth and development of the shoulder. We highlight the status of quantitative imaging practices for the pediatric shoulder and highlight gaps where better care may be provided with advances in imaging technique and/or technology.
