Congenital and acquired atrophy of the shoulder girdle muscles in a patient with Sprengel's deformity.
INTRODUCTION Sprengel’s deformity is a congenital anomaly of the shoulder girdle which results in elevation of the scapula (congenital high scapula) and limitation of movement of the shoulder. Sprengel’s deformity is the most common congenital malformation of the shoulder girdle, with a male to female ratio of 3:1. It is frequently associated with cervical spine malformations, absent or hypopla...
متن کاملMuscle fatigue, nNOS and muscle fiber atrophy in limb girdle muscular dystrophy
Muscle fatigability and atrophy are frequent clinical signs in limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), but their pathogenetic mechanisms are still poorly understood. We review a series of different factors that may be connected in causing fatigue and atrophy, particularly considering the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and additional factors such as gender in different forms of LGM...
متن کاملLimb-sparing resections of the shoulder girdle.
BACKGROUND Limb-sparing surgeries around the shoulder girdle pose a surgical difficulty, because tumors arising in this location are frequently large at presentation, are juxtaposed to the neurovascular bundle, require en bloc resection of proportionally large amounts of bone and soft tissues, and necessitate complex resection and reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Between 1980 and 1997, we treated...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of shoulder girdle muscles with myofascial trigger points in patients with shoulder pain
BACKGROUND Shoulder pain is reported to be highly prevalent and tends to be recurrent or persistent despite medical treatment. The pathophysiological mechanisms of shoulder pain are poorly understood. Furthermore, there is little evidence supporting the effectiveness of current treatment protocols. Although myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are rarely mentioned in relation to shoulder pain, the...
متن کاملAltered alignment of the shoulder girdle and cervical spine in patients with insidious onset neck pain and whiplash-associated disorder.
Clinical theory suggests that altered alignment of the shoulder girdle has the potential to create or sustain symptomatic mechanical dysfunction in the cervical and thoracic spine. The alignment of the shoulder girdle is described by two clavicle rotations, i.e, elevation and retraction, and by three scapular rotations, i.e., upward rotation, internal rotation, and anterior tilt. Elevation and ...
