Glenohumeral Anatomic Study. A Comparison of Male and Female Shoulders with Similar Average Age and BMI.

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Numerous anatomic studies of the shoulder have quantified the size, shape, and variability of either the humerus or scapula individually. However, few have attempted to quantify the relationship of the humerus to the scapula to better understand the spatial variation of these bones in both male and female shoulders. METHODS Seventy-four cadaveric shoulder CT scans (37 males and 37 females with statistically equivalent age and BMI) were reconstructed using Mimics ® to create 3D models of the humerus and scapula. After 3D reconstruction, each CT bone model was analyzed in Rapidform® to quantify the morphology of the humerus, scapula, and the spatial relationship between the two to better understand the role of gender on the morphological variability of the glenohumeral joint. RESULTS Spatial glenohumeral relationships of male shoulders were significantly larger than female shoulders in 13 of 16 measurements; morphology of male humeri were significantly larger than female humeri in 17 of 24 measurements, and scapula and glenoid morphology of male shoulders were significantly larger than female scapula and glenoids in 11 of 22 measurements. DISCUSSION Numerous significant gender differences in spatial relationships and morphology were identified in this anatomic study of the glenohumeral joint. An improved understanding of these observed binomial distributions has utility for shoulder arthroplasty prosthesis design, computer navigation, and may also be useful to the orthopaedic surgeon during surgical preoperative planning.

واریاسیون‌های طبیعی کمپلکس لیگامان گلنوهومرال در جمعیت ایرانی
Background & Aim: Although glenohumeral ligament complex was described decades ago, its anatomic variants, which are necessary to be known to differentiate normal anatomy from pathology, have not been assessed in Iranian population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and morphologic characteristics of normal variations in the glenohumeral ligament complex (GHLC) in Ira...

Spontaneous pneumothorax can be either primary due to the rupture of subpleural bleb or secondary due to underlying lung disease, usually bullous emphysema.1 Relatively little is known about the causative factors of spontaneous pneumothorax in Arab Countries.1 This is the first study and the primary step towards understanding the risk factors and causes of spontaneous pneumothorax in Syria.Syri...
متن کاملAnatomic Study of Subcoracoid Morphology in 418 Shoulders: Potential Implications for Subcoracoid Impingement
BACKGROUND Subcoracoid impingement has been implicated as a cause of anterior shoulder pain and subscapularis tendon tears. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bony anatomy of the coracoid process and the subcoracoid space. We hypothesized that age-related changes that may contribute to subcoracoid impingement occur in the subcoracoid space. STUDY DESIGN Descrip...

Background & Aims: Previous studies have stated that the scapulohumeral rhythm dysfunction can make a person prone to glenohumeral joint pathologies. The purpose of this study was to survey symmetric resting scapular posture and scapulohumeral rhythm ratio between dominant and non-dominant shoulders in elderly subjects in different humeral abduction angles. Materials & Methods: Thirty-five hea...
