Coracoid Process Morphology using 3D-CT Imaging in a Malaysian Population

Introduction: The aims of this study are to define the coracoid process anatomy in a Malaysian population, carried out on patients in Hospital Serdang with specific emphasis on the dimension of the base of coracoid process which is important in coraco-acromial (CC) ligament reconstruction, to define the average amount of bone available for use in coracoid transfer, and to compare the size of co...

Morphology of distal radius curvatures: a CT-based study on the Malaysian Malay population.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine the differing curves of the volar distal radius of healthy Malaysian Malays, so as to obtain detailed morphological information that will further the understanding of volar plate osteosynthesis in Malaysian Malays. METHODS Computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction was performed on the wrists of 16 healthy Malaysian Malay vo...

Fractures of the coracoid process.

We reviewed 67 consecutive patients with fractures of the coracoid process, classifying them by the relationship between the fracture site and the coracoclavicular ligament. The 53 type-I fractures were behind the attachment of this ligament, and the 11 type-II fractures were anterior to it. The relationship of three fractures was uncertain. Type-I fractures were associated with a wide variety ...
