  • Considered a Bone of Both Shoulder Girdle and Shoulder Joint. the Shoulder Girdle Is Comprised of the Clavicle and the Scapula
    Considered a bone of both shoulder girdle and shoulder joint. The shoulder girdle is comprised of the clavicle and the scapula. The shoulder joint consists of the scapula and the humerus. The primary function of the shoulder girdle is to position itself to accommodate movements of the shoulder joint. 1 Superior angle—top point Inferior angle—bottom point Vertebral border—side closest to vertebral column Axillary border—side closest to arm Subscapular fossa—anterior fossa Glenoid fossa, glenoid labrum, glenoid cavity --The glenoid fossa is the shallow cavity where the humeral head goes. The glenoid labrum is the cartilage that goes around the glenoid fossa. So the glenoid fossa and glenoid labrum together comprise the glenoid cavity. Supraspinous fossa—posterior, fossa above the spine Spine of the scapula—the back projection Infraspinous fossa—posterior depression/fossa below spine Coracoid process—anterior projection head Acromion process—posterior projection head above spine 2 Scapulothoracic “joint” = NOT a true joint; there are no ligaments or articular capsule. The scapula just rests on the muscle over top the rib cage, which allows for passive movements. Sternoclavicular joint=where the clavicle (collarbone) and the sternum (breastbone) articulate; movement is slight in all directions and of a gliding, rotational type Acromioclavicular joint = where the clavicle and scapula (acromion process) articulate; AKA: AC Joint; movement is a slight gliding when elevation and depression take place. Glenohumeral joint = the shoulder joint 3 4 All 3 true joints: Sternoclavicular, AC and glenohumeral (GH) all work together to move arm in all directions. The GH allows the arm to go out to the side and be abducted, then the AC and Sternoclavicular joints kick in to allow the arm to go above shoulder level by allowing the shoulderblade to move up to increase the range of motion (ROM).

Age-dependent changes due to chronic stress and cellular degradation cause thickening and stiffening of the CAL that may contribute to a spectrum of shoulder pathology from capsular tightness to rotator cuff tear arthropathy and impingement syndrome. Objectives: This study conducted to observe the different types of CAL and its relationship with coracoacromial veil. Materials and Methods: The study conducted on 50 upper limbs at Bowring & Lady Curzon medical college & research institute and Bangalore medical college & research institute. The upper limbs were dissected at the shoulder joint complex and acromion process and coracoid process were appreciated and coracoacromial ligaments were appreciated for their types and morphometry. Results and Conclusion: Four types of CAL were observed in this study.

Provencher, M.D., M.C., U.S.N.R. Purpose: To perform a quantitative anatomic evaluation of the (1) coracoid process, specifically the attachment sites of the conjoint tendon, the pectoralis minor, the coracoacromial ligament (CAL), and the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments in relation to pertinent osseous and soft tissue landmarks; (2) CC ligaments’ attachments on the clavicle; and (3) CAL attachment on the acromion in relation to surgically relevant anatomic landmarks to assist in planning of the Latarjet procedure, acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstructions, and CAL resection distances avoiding iatrogenic injury to sur- rounding structures. Methods: Ten nonpaired fresh-frozen human cadaveric shoulders (mean age 52 years, range 33- 64 years) were included in this study. A 3-dimensional coordinate measuring device was used to quantify the location of pertinent bony landmarks and soft tissue attachment areas. The ligament and tendon attachment perimeters and center points on the coracoid, clavicle, and acromion were identified and subsequently dissected off the bone. Coordinates of points along the perimeters of attachment sites were used to calculate areas, whereas coordinates of center points were used to determine distances between surgically relevant attachment sites and pertinent bony landmarks.

  • Coracohumeral Ligament Reconstruction for Patients with Multidirectional Shoulder Instability Zachary S
    Technical Note Coracohumeral Ligament Reconstruction for Patients With Multidirectional Shoulder Instability Zachary S. Aman, B.A., Liam A. Peebles, B.A., Daniel Shubert, M.D., Petar Golijanin, B.S., Travis J. Dekker, M.D., and CAPT Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., MC, USNR Abstract: Coracohumeral ligament pathology arises from acute trauma, capsular thickening, or congenital connective tissue disorders within the glenohumeral joint. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of this pathology in multidirectional shoulder instability because insufficiency of the rotator interval has become increasingly recognized and attributed to failed shoulder stabilization procedures. The diagnosis and subsequent treatment of coracohumeral ligament pathology can be challenging, however, because patients usually present with a history of failed surgical stabilization and persistent laxity. At the time of presentation, most patients have undergone failed nonoperative treatments and are indicated for surgical intervention. One of the options for the treatment of coracohumeral ligament pathology is recon- struction. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique for the reconstruction of the coracohumeral ligament. Research was performed at the Steadman Philippon Research Institute. ultidirectional instability (MDI) affecting the surgical intervention and historically has led to poor Mglenohumeral joint was initially defined as outcomes.7-10 instability in 2 or more directions1,2 and has long been a For these patients, surgery consisting of capsular shift challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon.

    Systematic Review Systematic Review of the Anatomic Descriptions of the Glenohumeral Ligaments: A Call for Further Quantitative Studies Jorge Chahla, M.D., Ph.D., Zachary S. Aman, B.A., Jonathan A. Godin, M.D., M.B.A., Mark E. Cinque, M.D., CAPT Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., M.C., U.S.N.R., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D. Purpose: To perform a systematic review of the glenohumeral ligament anatomic attachments on the glenoid and humeral neck. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase from 1980 to present. The inclusion criteria were as follows: cadaveric or clinical anatomic studies that qualitatively or quantitatively described the glenoid and humeral attachments of the glenohumeral ligaments in the English-language literature. Imaging and animal studies, editorial articles, and surveys were excluded from this study. Results: The 15 included studies analyzed a total of 983 shoulders. Only 5 studies reported quantitative measurements. The most common glenoid superior glenohumeral ligament attachment described was in the anterolateral region of the supraglenoid tubercle and was inserting on the humerus in close vicinity to the subscapularis tendon insertion. The superior labrum and lesser tuberosity were the most commonly reported middle glenohumeral ligament attachments. The inferior glenohumeral ligament was most commonly described to attach between the 2- and 4-o’clock positions of the glenoid and distally near the surgical neck of the humerus. Conclusions: There were limited quantitative data on the attachments of the glenohumeral ligaments.
