Optimizing hook implantation angle of the clavicular hook plate: a cadaveric study.

Purpose: While Clavicle hook plates have demonstrated favorable results regarding bone and shoulder function, their design can potentially lead to complications due to pressure concentration at the plate's tip. This study aims to investigate the impact of different hook implantation angles on the contact surface area between the hook plate and acromion, with the goal of minimizing mismatch and maximizing contact surface area.

Methods: Twenty soft shoulder cadavers were included in the study, and the contact surface area of the hook plate was measured in different positions based on the hook implantation angle.

Anatomic Study of the Medial Collateral Ligament in Thai Population: A Cadaveric Study of 56 Elbows.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate basic anatomic and geometric features of MCL, providing more accurate and detailed information, as guidance for surgeons, to improve patient's outcome of the treatment.

Methods: The anterior bundle (AB), posterior bundle (PB) and transverse bundle (TB) ligament of 56 fresh frozen Thai cadaveric elbows, were measured and recorded, comprise key ligament's geometric features, footprints and dimensions, and its relation to bony landmarks. Sagittal and coronal planes were used in respect of the anatomical position.

The lateral collateral ligament complex of the elbow in a Thai population: an anatomical study of 56 cadaveric specimens.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical features of the lateral collateral complex (LCC) of the elbow in a Thai population. We dissected 56 cadaveric elbows and described the LCC three-dimensionally in sagittal and coronal planes. We found that the characteristics differed from previous reports in other ethnic populations.
