The 'hooked' acromion revisited.
نویسنده
چکیده
Examination was made of 750 scapular dry bone specimens from museum collections and 80 cadaver shoulders. Hooking of the acromion was not found in subjects under the age of 30 years. The hooked configuration developed at later ages in an increasing proportion of subjects as a result of calcification of the acromial attachment of the coracoacromial ligament.

When reviewing articles in the literature, it is important to spend some time thinking specifically about the data presented. The data collected in an experiment may be classified into two general types. Continuous data represent data that vary over a continuous range and may be displayed on a curve, frequently a bell-shaped curve. Some examples of continuous data include height, age, and the t...
متن کاملA systematic review: Of acromion types and its effect on degenerative rotator cuff tear
Background: Shoulder joint pain is commonly seen in primary care. Were many of them diagnosed with rotator cuff disease especially involvement of supraspinatus tendon of rotator cuff. The progression of disease leads to tear of rotator cuff and the etiology is multifactorial. However, characteristic changes of acromion morphology appear as major risk factor for rotator cuff tear. According to a...
متن کاملRotator cuff impingement associated with Type III acromial morphology in a young athlete—a case for early imaging
Down-sloped or hooked acromion morphologies may cause bony encroachment on the soft tissues of the subacromial space, predisposing to shoulder impingement syndrome. Of the latter, a hooked or Type III acromion (T3A) has also been linked to rotator cuff (RC) pathology. However, as bony acromial impingement is typically thought to occur over the age of 40, its occurrence in younger shoulder athle...
متن کاملRelationship of Acromial Morphology and Rotator Cuff Integrity
The influence of individual acromial morphology on the pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears remains controversial. Since Neer first described the impingement syndrome, several authors have described the morphology of the acromion. In this study, we try to find a physiopathological correlation between the anatomical morphology of the acromion based on these two recently descripted parameters (Acro...
متن کاملThe influence of the acromioclavicular joint degeneration on supraspinatus outlet impingement and the acromion shape.
PURPOSE To assess the anatomic association of acromioclavicular joint degeneration to supraspinatus outlet impingement and the acromion shape. METHODS Sagittal oblique magnetic resonance images of 49 shoulders in 49 patients were reviewed. 29 of them (mean age, 59 years) underwent surgery for impingement with or without rotator cuff tear (group 1), whereas the 20 controls (mean age, 27 years)...
