Article Abstract

The normal glenoid has a pear-shape aspect and is slightly retroverted. It has a variable orientation in the sagittal plane. The cartilage surface area corresponds to 28 % of the area of the humeral head with a radius of curvature greater than the humeral head. Mechanical properties are significantly higher at the center and posterior edge of the glenoid. With osteoarthritis, the glenoid becomes larger with a greater width and an increasing of the retroversion angle. The wear can be centric or excentric. Mechanical properties are significantly higher at the center and posterior edge of the glenoid.

Background: Mobilization of the subscapularis muscle (SSC) is crucial for optimal access to the glenohumeral joint during anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA). However, the ideal mobilization technique remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the impact of the lesser tuberosity C-block osteotomy, a modified lesser tuberosity osteotomy, on the postoperative subscapularis (SSC) volume following anatomical shoulder arthroplasty and compare it to the volume of the infraspinatus/teres minor.

In terms of rotator cuff repair, there is a goal for complete repair and healing, as rotator cuff integrity correlates with clinical and functional results. Retear has been shown to have a significant influence on progression toward osteoarthritis, and patients with an intact supraspinatus show superior abduction and flexion strength. However, in cases where complete repair may not be possible and/or cost limitations may prohibit augmentation, partial repair can provide a respectable outcome.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of the minimally invasive lateral shoulder approach and deltopectoral space approach in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of 95 patients with proximal humerus fractures admitted to the hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. Forty-four patients were treated with a minimally invasive lateral shoulder approach (study group), and 51 patients were treated with a deltopectoral space approach (control group).

Background: Some mammals including the swine carry a fibrous vestigial clavicle, but a subclavius muscle (SBM) extends between the first rib and the supraspinatus muscle surface fascia. We aimed to examine development of the SBM and clavicle for finding a specific factor to provide the curious morphology.

Materials And Methods: Histological sections of early- and midterm fetuses of the swine, human and mouse were observed and compared at the almost same morphological stage.

Humeral Head-Split Fracture in Two Dogs.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound

January 2025

Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Roslin, UK.

Two skeletally immature female dogs were each investigated for chronic weight-bearing thoracic limb lameness. The first patient was lame for 2 months following a tumble whilst playing, and the second patient had been intermittently lame since 3 weeks of age. In both cases, radiographic examination of the shoulder revealed fissuring of the caudal humeral head consistent with an incomplete proximal humeral Salter-Harris type IV fracture with an Enoki-mushroom-like appearance of the caudal fragment, where two heads rise from a common stem.
