Osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral head: clinical and radiological findings.

Acta Orthop Belg

Department of Orthopaedics, University Hospital Pellenberg, Weligerveld 1, B-3212 Pellenberg, Belgium.

Published: August 2005

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a common condition in the knee, the elbow and the talus. It is rarely diagnosed in the humeral head. We report the case of a young male patient with OCD of the right humeral head and discuss the clinical and radiographic findings.

The Transverse Humeral Ligament: An Anatomical Narrative Review.

Shoulder pain often involves the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii (LHBT) and the transverse humeral ligament (THL). Traditionally, the THL is considered a ligament that prevents the LHBT from dislocating, but recent studies suggest that it may be part of the subscapularis tendon. This review evaluates the nature of the THL and its overlying structures.

Background: Patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff arthropathy may present with an external rotation (ER) lag due to posterior rotator cuff insufficiency. As a result, the addition of a latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer in combination with RSA has become increasingly utilized. Initial descriptions of LD tendon transfer involved rerouting of the LD tendon posterior to the long head of the triceps tendon.

Anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone lesion can be treated with the Eden-Hybinette procedure utilizing a tricortical iliac crest bone graft or the Latarjet procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) kinematics throughout an external shoulder rotation following the Eden-Hybinette and Latarjet procedures. Nine human specimens were examined with dynamic radiostereometry during a GHJ external rotation with anteriorly directed loads from 0 to 30 N.

Objective: To explore changes of humerus torque screw tip distance on stability of proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS) by finite element analysis, in order to provide reference for selection of intraoperative plant size.

Methods: The proximal humerus 3D model was constructed based on Synbone artificial bone model in 3D engineering drawing software, and the corresponding 3D model was constructed based on PHILOS bone plate contour. The model was modified to simulate comminuted proximal humerus fracture, and the operation model was simulated after fracture, and the fixed operation model was assembled, the apex distance of humerus moment screw was set as 4, 8, 12 and 16 mm respectively.

Background: There is a relative paucity of studies examining how the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) may alter the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself, specifically with respect to rotation and translation in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior planes. This then raises the possibility that the SCR may be having unintended consequences on glenohumeral kinematics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the glenohumeral joint kinematics following Fascia Lata SCR (FL-SCR).
