The Distance between the Pectoralis Major Tendon Insertion and the Top of the Humeral Head is a Reliable Landmark: An Anatomic Study.

 This study aimed to analyze the distance between the superior edge of the pectoralis major and the top of the humeral head and evaluate whether this distance is a consistent measurement.  Twenty-two shoulders in eleven cadavers were dissected and the attachment of the pectoralis major tendon was preserved. Two distances were recorded with the help of digital vernier caliper: the distance between the upper edge of pectoralis major and tangent to the top of humeral head (PM-T) and the distance between the superomedial tip of greater tuberosity (GT) and the upper edge of the pectoralis major tendon (PM-G; ± standard error of the means).

Insertion anatomy of the pectoralis major tendon.

Background: Pectoralis major tendon tears are encountered in young active patients.

Methods: In 10 fresh cadaveric shoulders we measured-1. Proximal to distal insertion width of the pectoralis major tendon.

Fracture Diaphyseal Femur in a Case of Ipsilateral Excision Arthroplasty of Hip: Report of Two Cases with Description of an Unusual Injury Pattern, Mechanism, and Clinical Decision-making in Management.

Introduction: Although fracture diaphyseal femur is commonly seen in orthopedic practice, its association with ipsilateral resection arthroplasty of hip/pseudarthrosis of neck is rare. The technique of excision arthroplasty has undergone modification with emphasis on preserving as much bone as possible. However, it is not always possible to preserve bone while removing the earlier prosthesis and cement.

Neglected Anterior Dislocation of Shoulder: is surgery necessary? A Rare Case with review of literature.

Introduction: Shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated joint. However, it is rarely neglected and treatment is sought immediately. Delayed or neglected shoulder dislocations are difficult to manage and require extensive procedures to obtain good functional outcome.
