The aim of this study was to establish normative values for the teardrop angle at the base of the middle phalanx. Our results showed a consistent mean teardrop angle in the range of 50°-51°, with no statistically significant difference observed between digits. III.

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint, an essential element in the complex biomechanics of the shoulder, displays a diverse range of anatomical variations among individuals. This review aimed to study and present these variations. A detailed search was conducted on the PubMed medical database by using the terms "acromioclavicular joint variations".

Department of Sports Medicine, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Arthroscopic repair with the biceps rerouting (BR) technique has been determined to lead to promising clinical and biomechanical outcomes for treating large-to-massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCTs). However, the in vivo effects of BR on glenohumeral kinematics during functional shoulder movements have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose: To investigate whether BR provides a better restoration of shoulder kinematics compared with conventional rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Background: For patients with osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears, there is still no consensus on current treatment methods. The material, structure, and number of anchors have important effects on the repair outcome.
Purpose: To investigate the use of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-coated nickel-titanium memory alloy (NTMA) anchors to treat rotator cuff injury in shoulders with osteoporosis in a rabbit osteoporosis model.
A radiological study on the relationship between the novel acromial angle and rotator cuff tears.

To investigate the relationship between the novel acromial angle and rotator cuff tears through imaging studies. We retrospectively selected 148 patients who underwent complete imaging examinations including scapular outlet X-rays and shoulder MRIs from January 2023 to September 2024 at our hospital. Based on whether the subjects had rotator cuff tears, they were divided into an injury group and a normal group, and the differences in the novel acromial angle between the two groups were compared.

Advanced imaging modalities used currently have led to increases in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of these tears. The anatomy, five-layer histology, and relationship to the Ellman classification of PTRCTs have been well studied, with recent interest in radiographic predictors, such as the critical shoulder angle and acromial index.
