Purpose: The objective of this study was to clarify the relationships among anatomical landmarks of the glenohumeral joint at different angles of abduction.
Methods: Fifteen volunteers (ten men, five women; mean age 29 years) were enrolled in this study. Images of externally and internally rotated positions at 45°, 90°, and 135° of abduction in the plane 30° anterior to the trunk were taken using an open magnetic resonance imaging system. Landmarks including the glenoidal long axis with its center, bicipital groove, center of the head, and humeral shaft axis were determined. Using a line set on the surface of the head in the plane parallel to the humeral axis (including the head center and bicipital groove with its parallel and perpendicular lines), the glenoid location and rotational relationships were investigated in each position.
Results: The average angles of axial rotation were 48° ± 27° at 45º of abduction, 71° ± 20° at 90° of abduction, and 40° ± 27° at 135° of abduction. The trajectories of the glenoid center primarily extended over the anterior portion of the humeral head at 45° of abduction and over the posterior portion at 90° of abduction, while those at 135° of abduction were localized on a small upper portion of the head.
Conclusions: The glenohumeral relationships demonstrated that arm abduction might influence shoulder function through its effects on the portion of the humeral surface in contact with the glenoid during rotation and the resultant changes in the glenohumeral relationships.

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.
Changes in glenohumeral range of motion by repetitive pitching and their relationship with arm speed during pitching.

This study aimed to (1) examine the acute changes in the glenohumeral range of motion (ROM) after repetitive pitching and (2) clarify whether arm speed during pitching is associated with changes in the glenohumeral internal rotation (IR) and horizontal adduction (HADd) ROM. Fifteen healthy college males with over five years of baseball experience participated. Glenohumeral ROMs of IR, external rotation, and HADd were measured using a digital inclinometer before, immediately after, and one day after completing 100 repetitive full-effort pitches.

Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are well-known methods of treating glenohumeral arthritis, which often leads to posterior wear of the glenoid. This study compared minimum two-year outcome measures in patients treated with RSA and TSA for Walch B2 and B3 glenoids.
Methods: Thirty-eight shoulders underwent TSA and 40 shoulders underwent RSA by two fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons at a tertiary referral center.

The diagnosis of septic arthritis remains challenging in the clinical setting, often leading to a suspicion for medical liability. Our purpose is to describe an unusual case of a post-mortem diagnosis of P. multocida fatal septic arthritis, in a healthy 67-year-old woman presenting with pain in the right shoulder.

Tenodesis of the long head of biceps is a common shoulder surgical procedure. Tenodesis can be performed either arthroscopically or open and within the glenohumeral joint, within the bicipital groove, or below the pectoralis major tendon insertion. Arthroscopic tenodesis of the biceps tendon reduces the risk of infection.
