  • Chapter 5 Upper Limb Anatomy Bones and Joints
    Chapter 5 Upper limb anatomy Bones and joints Scapula Costal Surface The costal (anterior) surface of the scapula faces the ribcage. It contains a large concave depression over most of its surface, known as the subscapular fossa. The subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) originates from this fossa. Originating from the superolateral surface of the costal scapula is the coracoid process. It is a hook-like projection, which lies just underneath the clavicle. Three muscles attach to the coracoid process: the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis, the short head of biceps brachii. Acromion Coracoid process Glenoid fossa Subscapular fossa © teachmeanatomy Lateral surface • Glenoid fossa - a shallow cavity, located superiorly on the lateral border. It articulates with the head of the humerus to form the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. • Supraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately superior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the biceps brachii. • Infraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately inferior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the triceps brachii. Supraglenoid tubercle Glenoid fossa Infraglenoid tubercle gn teachmeanatomy Posterior surface • Spine - the most prominent feature of the posterior scapula. It runs transversely across the scapula, dividing the surface into two. • Acromion - projection of the spine that arches over the glenohumeral joint and articulates with the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint. • Infraspinous fossa - the area below the spine of the scapula, it displays a convex shape. The infraspinatus muscle originates from this area. • Supraspinous fossa - the area above the spine of the scapula, it is much smaller than the infraspinous fossa, and is more convex in shape.The supraspinatus muscle originates from this area.

  • Effect of Preservation of the C-6 Spinous Process and Its Paraspinal Muscular Attachment on the Prevention of Postoperative Axial Neck Pain in C3–6 Laminoplasty
    SPINE CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Spine 22:221–229, 2015 Effect of preservation of the C-6 spinous process and its paraspinal muscular attachment on the prevention of postoperative axial neck pain in C3–6 laminoplasty Eiji Mori, MD, Takayoshi Ueta, MD, PhD, Takeshi Maeda, MD, PhD, Itaru Yugué, MD, PhD, Osamu Kawano, MD, PhD, and Keiichiro Shiba, MD, PhD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Spinal Injuries Center, Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan OBJECT Axial neck pain after C3–6 laminoplasty has been reported to be significantly lesser than that after C3–7 laminoplasty because of the preservation of the C-7 spinous process and the attachment of nuchal muscles such as the trapezius and rhomboideus minor, which are connected to the scapula. The C-6 spinous process is the second longest spinous process after that of C-7, and it serves as an attachment point for these muscles. The effect of preserving the C-6 spinous process and its muscular attachment, in addition to preservation of the C-7 spinous process, on the preven- tion of axial neck pain is not well understood. The purpose of the current study was to clarify whether preservation of the paraspinal muscles of the C-6 spinous process reduces postoperative axial neck pain compared to that after using nonpreservation techniques. METHODs The authors studied 60 patients who underwent C3–6 double-door laminoplasty for the treatment of cervi- cal spondylotic myelopathy or cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament; the minimum follow-up period was 1 year. Twenty-five patients underwent a C-6 paraspinal muscle preservation technique, and 35 underwent a C-6 nonpreservation technique.

  • The Critical Shoulder Angle As a Diagnostic Measure for Osteoarthritis and Rotator Cuff Pathology
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.11447 The Critical Shoulder Angle as a Diagnostic Measure for Osteoarthritis and Rotator Cuff Pathology Zak Rose-Reneau 1 , Amanda K. Moorefield 1 , Derek Schirmer 1 , Eugene Ismailov 1 , Rob Downing 2 , Barth W. Wright 1 1. Anatomy, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, Kansas City, USA 2. Graduate Medical Education, University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Kansas City, USA Corresponding author: Amanda K. Moorefield, [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study was to correlate critical shoulder angle (CSA), a measurement that takes into account both glenoid tilt and the acromial index (AI), with shoulder pathologies as presented in an earlier study by Moor et al. (2013). Based on Moor et al.’s predicted normal CSA range of 30-35°, we hypothesized that a greater-than-normal CSA would be correlated to or associated with rotator cuff pathology, while a smaller-than-normal CSA would be associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Following Moore et al., we utilized Grashey radiographic imaging because it provides the clearest view of the entire glenoid fossa and acromion. We analyzed 323 anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs to identify and measure the CSA, classifying each patient into one of five groups [none reported (n=94), mild OA (n=156), moderate OA (n=36), severe OA (n=37), and rotator cuff pathology (n=40)]. Our results were statistically significant, supporting the association of smaller CSAs with OA and larger CSAs with rotator cuff pathology. CSA measurements could provide a new means for identifying shoulder pathology and thereby reduce the need for costly and timely imaging techniques.

  • Scapular Winging Is a Rare Disorder Often Caused by Neuromuscular Imbalance in the Scapulothoracic Stabilizer Muscles
    SCAPULAR WINGING Scapular winging is a rare disorder often caused by neuromuscular imbalance in the scapulothoracic stabilizer muscles. Lesions of the long thoracic nerve and spinal accessory nerves are the most common cause. Patients report diffuse neck, shoulder girdle, and upper back pain, which may be debilitating, associated with abduction and overhead activities. Accurate diagnosis and detection depend on appreciation on comprehensive physical examination. Although most cases resolve nonsurgically, surgical treatment of scapular winging has been met with success. True incidence is largely unknown because of under diagnosis. Most commonly it is categorized anatomically as medial or lateral shift of the inferior angle of the scapula. Primary winging occurs when muscular weakness disrupts the normal balance of the scapulothoracic complex. Secondary winging occurs when pathology of the shoulder joint pathology. Delay in diagnosis may lead to traction brachial plexopathy, periscapular muscle spasm, frozen shoulder, subacromial impingement, and thoracic outlet syndrome. Anatomy and Biomechanics Scapula is rotated 30° anterior on the chest wall; 20° forward in the sagittal plane; the inferior angle is tilted 3° upward. It serves as the attachment site for 17 muscles. The trapezius muscle accomplishes elevation of the scapula in the cranio-caudal axis and upward rotation. The serratus anterior and pectoralis major and minor muscles produce anterior and lateral motion, described as scapular protraction. Normal Scapulothoracic abduction: As the limb is elevated, the effect is an upward and lateral rotation of the inferior pole of scapula. Periscapular weakness resulting from overuse may manifest as scapular dysfunction (ie, winging). Serratus Anterior Muscle Origin From the first 9 ribs Insert The medial border of the scapula.

  • Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch Through the Subacromial Space
    Technical Note Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch Through the Subacromial Space Neil Ghodadra, M.D., Shane J. Nho, M.D., M.S., Nikhil N. Verma, M.D., Stefanie Reiff, B.A., Dana P. Piasecki, M.D., Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., and Anthony A. Romeo, M.D. Abstract: Suprascapular nerve entrapment can cause disabling shoulder pain. Suprascapular nerve release is often performed for compression neuropathy and to release pressure on the nerve associated with arthroscopic labral repair. This report describes a novel all-arthroscopic technique for decom- pression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch or spinoglenoid notch through a subacromial approach. Through the subacromial space, spinoglenoid notch cysts can be visualized between the supraspinatus and infraspinatus at the base of the scapular spine. While viewing the subacromial space through the lateral portal, the surgeon can use a shaver through the posterior portal to decompress a spinoglenoid notch cyst at the base of the scapular spine. To decompress the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch, a shaver through the posterior portal removes the soft tissue on the acromion and distal clavicle to expose the coracoclavicular ligaments. The medial border of the conoid ligament is identified and followed to its coracoid attachment. The supraspinatus muscle is retracted with a blunt trocar placed through an accessory Neviaser portal. The transverse scapular ligament, which courses inferior to the suprascapular artery, is sectioned with arthroscopic scissors, and the suprascapular nerve is decompressed. Key Words: Arthroscopy—Suprascapular nerve—Transverse scapular ligament—Suprascapular notch—Rotator cuff—Shoulder.
