The three types of acromial processes previously described in the literature include type 1, in which the undersurface is straight, and types 2 and 3, in which the undersurface is concave. In this report, a fourth type of acromion is described in which the undersurface is convex near its distal end. The frequency of a type 4 acromion in the normal population is discussed based on a retrospective review of the MR examinations of 30 patients that originally were read as normal.

Factors Associated With Supraspinatus Atrophy in Patients 50 Years and Older With Atraumatic Shoulder Pain.
Orthop J Sports Med
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, Seth G.S. Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India.
Background: Atrophy and fatty infiltration of the supraspinatus (SS) muscle are prognostic indicators of poor functional outcomes and higher retear rates after rotator cuff repair. While older patients, female patients, and those with massive and retracted rotator cuff tears are at a higher risk for these indicators, it is unclear whether tear characteristics, acromion morphology, and acromioclavicular (AC) joint arthritis affect SS atrophy in older patients with chronic shoulder pain.
Purpose: To investigate the multifactorial influences associated with SS atrophy in rotator cuff tears.

Background: The deltoid muscle originates from the spine of the scapula, the lateral border of the acromion and the lateral third of the clavicle. It inserts on the deltoid tuberosity. It is divided into three parts: spinal, acromial and clavicular.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Tennessee-Campbell Clinic, Germantown, TN, USA.
Background: Periscapular fractures, specifically acromial and scapular spine fractures, have been identified as one of the leading complications of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). However, very little is known of the etiology of these postoperative fractures, or how variations in humeral designs correlates with the risk of postoperative fracture development. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence, timing, and relationship of humeral component design to acromial or scapular spine fractures.

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Koç University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between acromial morphology and the incidence and extent of calcific tendonitis.
Methods: Ninety-two patients (33 male, 59 female; mean age: 47 ± 9.7) with calcific tendonitis were included in this retrospective study.
The Pericoracoid Tissue Release in Children With Brachial Plexus Birth Injury.
J Hand Surg Am
November 2024
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: In brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI), children with upper trunk injuries have multidirectional movement deficits, including global abduction and hand-to-neck, hand-to-abdomen, and hand-to-spine movements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of pericoracoid tissue release and postoperative structured physiotherapy as a first-step intervention to reduce the multidirectional movement deficit in children with BPBI.
Methods: Thirty-four children with BPBI underwent pericoracoid tissue release, including coracohumeral and coracoacromial ligament release, pectoralis minor release, and coracoid process osteotomy.
