They taught us subtraction and multiplication tables when we were young, and here we use them to navigate the basics of musculoskeletal medicine. Netter illustrations are supplemented with clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic images to review the most common musculoskeletal diseases.

  • 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.

  • Relationship Between Shoulder Muscle Strength and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Score Among C6 Tetraplegics

Shoulder muscle strength is thought to be one factor that aects functional outcome. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between shoulder muscle strength and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor score among 14 complete C6 tetraplegic patients. The FIM motor score and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score of these patients were assessed upon discharge. We evaluated muscle strength of bilateral scapular abduction and upward rotation, shoulder vertical adduction and shoulder extension by manual muscle testing (MMT). The total shoulder strength score was calculated from the summation of those six MMT scores. The relationships among ASIA motor score, total shoulder strength score and FIM motor score were analyzed. The total shoulder strength score was signi®cantly correlated with the FIM motor score and the score of the transfer item in the FIM. In the transfer item of the FIM, the total shoulder strength score showed a statistically signi®cant dierence between the Independent and Dependent Group.

Anatomy, Shoulder and Upper Limb, Arm Quadrangular Space Authors Irfan A. Khan1; Matthew Varacallo2. Affiliations 1 Florida International University 2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Kentucky School of Medicine Last Update: December 21, 2018. Introduction The quadrangular (or quadrilateral) space (QS) is named based on the shape of its anatomic boundaries. Located along the posterolateral shoulder, the QS serves as a passageway for the axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery (PHCA). Quadrangular (or quadrilateral) space syndrome (QSS) can occur secondary to various compressive pathologies. Although the incidence of such pathologies is rare, QSS has a known predilection for subgroups of athletic populations and can often suffer misdiagnosis or are clinically under-appreciated. Thus, clinicians should maintain a heightened clinical suspicion for QSS in patients aged 20-40 years of age presenting with a history of current contact or overhead athletic performance (e.g., baseball pitchers, swimmers, etc.), [1][2] or overhead laborers secondary to repetitive stress mechanics on the shoulder.[3] Structure and Function The QS has four anatomic borders; the teres minor superiorly, the inferior border is the teres major muscle, the medial boundary is the long head of the triceps brachii muscle, and the humeral surgical neck forms the lateral bound. The QS functions as a passageway for the axillary nerve, and the posterior humeral circumflex artery (PHCA).[3] The latter provides the primary (two-thirds) of the blood supply to the humeral head.[4] Blood Supply and Lymphatics The posterior humeral circumflex artery (PHCA) within the quadrangular space originates from the axillary artery, and within the QS, the PHCA divides into anterior and posterior branches.

It is morphologi- cally variable in both point of origin and insertion. The presence of an accessory subscapularis muscle can lead to brachial plexus neuropathy. This report presents a very rare accessory subscapularis muscle originating from two distinct bands on the subscapularis and teres major muscles. The insertion was divided among four tendons. The fourth tendon is bifurcated. One of these was connected to the tendon of the subscapularis muscle and the other three inserted into the base of the cora- coid process of the scapula. This anomalous muscle has the potential to entrap the nerves of the posterior cord such as the axillary, lower subscapular, and thoracodorsal nerves.

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.

ABSTRACT Axillary arch muscle or the Langer’s muscle is one of the rare muscular variation in the axillary region. It is the additional muscle slip extending from latissimus dorsi in the posterior fold of axilla to the pectoralis major or other neighbouring muscles and bones. In the present article a case of 68 yrs old female cadaver with axillary arch in the left axillary region is reported. It originated from the anterior border of lattissimus dorsi and merged with the short head of biceps and pectoralis major muscles. The arch was compressing the axillary vein as well as the branches of the cords of brachial plexus. The presence of the muscle has important clinical implications, as the position, unilateral presence, axillary vein entrapment, multiple insertions makes the case most complicated.
