A Variation of the Partial Subscapularis Tear Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology Article Floating Subscapularis Tear: A Variation of the Partial Subscapularis Tear Kotaro Yamakado Department of Orthopaedics/Sposrts medicine, Fukui General Hospital, Fukui 9108561, Japan; [email protected] Received: 25 December 2019; Accepted: 3 February 2020; Published: 5 February 2020 Abstract: A variation of subscapularis tear has been identified, named floating subscapularis, where the tendon is completely detached from the lesser tuberosity but is continuous with the tissue covering the bicipital groove. An accurate diagnosis can be made using arthroscopic observation with passive external and internal rotation of the affected shoulder, which shows mismatched movement between the humerus and the subscapularis tendon. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of this particular tear pattern. Clinical records during the study period (from January 2011 to December 2017) were retrospectively examined. Overall, 1295 arthroscopic rotator cuff repair procedures were performed. Among these, the subscapularis tendon was repaired in 448 cases, and 27 cases were diagnosed as floating subscapularis. The prevalence of floating subscapularis was 6% in the subscapularis repair population. This particular tear pattern has not previously been described and it seems to be ignored. The floating subscapularis is thought to be the tear of the deep layer preserving the superficial layer connected to the greater tuberosity by fibrous extension of the soft tissue covering the bicipital groove. Keywords: arthroscopy; partial thickness rotator cuff tear; subscapularis tear; variation 1. Introduction The ball-and-socket structure of the shoulder joint allows a greater range of motion than other joints. The rotator cuff muscles hold the joint for stability and rotate the humerus for mobility. Rotator cuff muscles consist of four muscles: the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. The subscapularis, an internal rotator of the shoulder, arises from the subscapularis fossa of the scapula and inserts into the humerus. The superior two-third part (the tendinous part of the subscapularis) inserts into the lesser tuberosity and the inferior one-third part (the muscular part of the subscapularis) inserts directly into the humerus below the lesser tuberosity by a thin membranous structure [1–3]. Tears of the subscapularis tendon are less common than those of the posterosuperior rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus and infraspinatus). The prevalence of subscapularis tendon tears had been largely underestimated before arthroscopic examination became popular in the 2000s. Currently, the diagnosis of full-thickness subscapularis tear is routinely made arthroscopically and with reliable accuracy, with reporting tear-rate up to 29% [4–6]. In most cases of a full-thickness subscapular tear, the torn tendon retracts medially and inferiorly; however, as the superior glenohumeral ligament and coracohumeral ligament are attached to the subscapularis, it assumes a comma shape (so-called “comma sign”), which is thought to be pathognomonic of a subscapularis tear (Figure1)[7]. Classification of rotator cuff tears can be made according to the tear morphology: acute or traumatic/degenerative, partial or complete, retracted or not retracted, combined or isolated. For subscapularis tears, various classifications have been proposed. But the Lafosse classification [8] is widely accepted. The Lafosse classification provides five grades of tear: (I) Partial lesion of superior third of the subscapularis without tendon retraction; (II) complete tear of the superior one-third; (III) J.

  • 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).

  • Ossified Brodie's Ligament

Siva Chidambaram *1, Neelee Jayasree 2, Soorya Sridhar 3. *1,3 Post Graduate, 2 Professor and Head. Department of Anatomy, Narayana Medical College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. ABSTRACT The transverse humeral ligament (THL) or Brodie’s ligament is a narrow sheet of connective tissue fibers that runs between the lesser and the greater tubercles of the humerus. Together with the intertubercular groove of the humerus, the ligament creates a canal through which the long head of the biceps tendon and its synovial sheath passes. The ossification of transverse humeral ligament is a rare interesting anatomical variation, which has been identified as one of the predisposing factor for biceps tendonitis and tenosynovitis. In the present study of 100 humerus bones, we found a right side humerus with completely ossified transverse humeral ligament which extended from the lateral margin of lesser tubercle to the medial margin of greater tubercle of the humerus. The Length and breadth of the ossified ligament were 8 mm and 6 mm respectively. Such an ossified ligament may damage the biceps tendon and its synovial sheath during biomechanical movement of the arm leading to anterior shoulder pain. It may also complicate the use of bicipital groove as a landmark for orientation of the humeral prosthesis in complex proximal humeral fractures. Hence, the anatomical knowledge of ossified transverse humeral ligament is important for the radiologist and orthopedic surgeon in diagnosis and planning the treatment for patient with anterior shoulder pain.

  • Scapular Dyskinesis
    Scapular Dyskinesis Presented by: Scott Sevinsky MSPT Presented by: Scott Sevinsky SPT 1 What is Scapular Dyskinesis? Alteration in the normal static or dynamic position or motion of the scapula during coupled scapulohumeral movements. Other names given to this catch-all phrase include: “floating scapula” and “lateral scapular slide”.1, 2 1 Alterations in scapular position and motion occur in 68 – 100% of patients with shoulder injuries. Scapular Dyskinesis Classification System 1, 3 Pattern Definitions Inferior angle At rest, the inferior medial scapular border may be prominent dorsally. During arm motion, the inferior (type I) angle tilts dorsally and the acromion tilts ventrally over the top of the thorax. The axis of the rotation is in the horizontal plane. Medial border At rest, the entire medial border may be prominent dorsally. During arm motion, the medial scapular (type II) border tilts dorsally off the thorax. The axis of the rotation is vertical in the frontal plane. Superior border At rest, the superior border of the scapula may be elevated and the scapula can also be anteriorly (type III) displaced. During arm motion, a shoulder shrug initiates movement without significant winging of the scapula occurring. The axis of this motion occurs in the sagittal plane. Symmetric At rest, the position of both scapula are relatively symmetrical, taking into account that the dominant scapulohumeral arm may be slightly lower. During arm motion, the scapulae rotate symmetrically upward such that the (type IV) inferior angles translate laterally away from the midline and the scapular medial border remains flush against the thoracic wall. The reverse occurs during lowering of the arm.

Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534836/ Anatomy, Shoulder and Upper Limb, Shoulder Muscles Authors Benjamin J. Eovaldi1; Matthew Varacallo2. Affilations 1 University of Tennessee HSC 2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Kentucky School of Medicine Last Update: December 3, 2018. Introduction The shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is a ball and socket joint with the most extensive range of motion in the human body. The muscles of the shoulder dynamically function in performing a wide range of motion, specifically the rotator cuff muscles which function to move the shoulder and arm as well as provide structural integrity to the shoulder joint. The different movements of the shoulder are: abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, internal rotation, and external rotation.[1] The central bony structure of the shoulder is the scapula. All the muscles of the shoulder joint interact with the scapula. At the lateral aspect of the scapula is the articular surface of the glenohumeral joint, the glenoid cavity. The glenoid cavity is peripherally surrounded and reinforced by the glenoid labrum, shoulder joint capsule, supporting ligaments, and the myotendinous attachments of the rotator cuff muscles. The muscles of the shoulder play a critical role in providing stability to the shoulder joint. The primary muscle group that supports the shoulder joint is the rotator cuff muscles. The four rotator cuff muscles include:[2] • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres minor • Subscapularis. Structure and Function The upper extremity is attached to the appendicular skeleton by way of the sternoclavicular joint.
