Article Abstract
Background: Superior glenoid inclination, which is a relatively upward facing of the glenoid in the plane of the scapula, has been associated with rotator cuff pathology. Increased glenoid inclination may cause superior humeral head migration, which can cause impingement of the supraspinatus tendon. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that inclination angle affects the probability of superior humeral head migration.
Methods: A three-dimensional model of the glenohumeral joint was developed in which muscle forces were modeled as random variables. Monte Carlo simulation was used to compute the probability that the glenohumeral reaction force was directed such that superior humeral head migration should occur. An electromyogram-driven model was used to estimate shoulder muscle forces in healthy volunteers performing arm elevation.
Findings: The model predicted that the probability of superior humeral head migration increased as glenoid inclination angle was increased. This finding was independent of the assumed shape of the muscle force probability distributions.
Interpretation: The results support the theory that glenoid inclination may be a risk factor for rotator cuff pathology.

Objective: To investigate the effect of glenohumeral bone structure on anterior shoulder instability by three-dimensional CT reconstruction.
Methods: The clinical data of 48 patients with unilateral anterior shoulder dislocation (instability group) and 46 patients without shoulder joint disease (control group) admitted between February 2012 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There was no significant difference in gender and side between the two groups ( >0.

Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate whether the morphology of the acromion and the inclination of the glenoid are associated with the risk of supraspinatus (SSP) tendon ruptures. Materials and methods A total of 106 patients were enrolled in this study between August 2012 and February 2014, including 55 symptomatic patients with an SSP tendon rupture (ruptured group) and 51 patients with an intact SSP (control group). MRI of the shoulder was performed for all patients in both groups.

Background: Anterior shoulder pain after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is not uncommon and may be due to humeral impingement against the conjoint tendon during internal rotation (IR). It is unknown what effect different implant designs and configurations have on conjoint tendon impingement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of several RSA implant design parameters on conjoint tendon impingement during IR.

Background: The role of anatomic factors in rotator cuff (RC) pathology or in the development of shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) is not yet well understood or recognized. While two-dimensional imaging and measurements are easy to capture and interpret, three-dimensional (3D) methods provide a more thorough description and analysis of the scapula's complex shape. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether scapular anatomy is associated with RC tears or glenohumeral OA using 3D statistical shape modelling (SSM).

Background: Differences in implant positioning between anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasties have raised concerns about the adequacy of assessing the global glenoid inclination (GGI) using the method described by Maurer to define the position of the metallic base in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The reverse shoulder angle (RSA) has been proposed to measure the inclination of the lower half of the glenoid. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver agreement of manual measurements of the RSA using two-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT) images and its relationship with the automated measurement of the GGI.
