Middle Glenohumeral Ligament Abrasion Causing Upper Subscapularis Tear
نویسندگان
چکیده
The middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) typically contributes partially to the anterior stability of the shoulder. In a very limited number of cases, the MGHL can cause abrasion on the upper edge of the subscapularis causing persistent pain symptoms for patients. The condition is exacerbated by internal rotation of the arm. In this Technical Note, we describe this entity and call it the SAM lesion (Subscapularis Abrasion from the MGHL). We present a technique of addressing this lesion.

Subscapularis tendon loading during activities of daily living.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the relative amount of load that is transmitted through the superior portion of the subscapularis during activities of daily living as compared with the load that is transmitted through the middle and inferior portions in a normal shoulder and in a shoulder with a supraspinatus tear. METHODS By use of the Newcastle shoulder model, the subs...

متن کاملGlenohumeral joint motion after subscapularis tendon repair: an analysis of cadaver shoulder models
BACKGROUND As for the surgical treatment of the rotator cuff tears, the subscapularis tendon tears have recently received much attention for the mini-open or arthroscopic repair. The results of surgical repair for the subscapularis tendon tear are satisfactory, but the range of external rotation is reported to be restricted after the repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the range o...

The present report describes in detail our experience with the diagnosis of isolated tear of the cord-like MGHL in Buford comple...
متن کاملMR Imaging of the Rotator Cuff and Rotator Interval
The rotator cuff is comprised of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles and tendons. The four muscles of the rotator cuff act as stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint. The supraspinatus is primarily a shoulder abductor. The supraspinatus muscle originates along the dorsal surface of the scapula. The muscle fibers course in a lateral orientation and converge to ...
