The humerus is largest bone of the upper limb and also defines human brachium. shoulder joint ball socket formed by articulation hemispherical head shallow glenoid cavity scapula. sizes Humeri & Glenoid can impact decision making during surgery for replacement instability. Study helpful providing data correlation factors which has enormous importance while prosthesis surgery. : A retrospect...

BACKGROUND Articular surfaces reconstruction is essential in total shoulder arthroplasty. Because of the limited glenoid bone support, thin glenoid component could improve anatomical reconstruction, but adverse mechanical effects might appear. METHODS With a numerical musculoskeletal shoulder model, we analysed and compared three values of thickness of a typical all-polyethylene glenoid compo...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate bone changes in the condyle, articular eminence and glenoid fossa in relation to the position of the articular disc. METHODS 148 temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of 74 symptomatic patients who underwent MRI were evaluated. The position of the disc was classified as either normal (N), disc displacement with reduction (DDwR), disc displacement ...

Glenoid and humeral head bone loss is the most common cause of failure after surgical shoulder instability stabilization. Large Hill-Sachs lesions involving >30% of the articular surface of the humeral head typically occur after neglected or locked shoulder dislocations. Such large lesions may require osteochondral allograft reconstruction or prosthetic replacement to regain shoulder stability ...

background: in several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons.   objective: to evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (ocp/bmg).   methods: we used 40, 5–6-week-old male sprague-d...

We report the use of the reverse shoulder prosthesis in the revision of a failed shoulder hemiarthroplasty in 19 shoulders in 18 patients (7 men, 11 women) with severe pain and loss of function. The primary procedure had been undertaken for glenohumeral arthritis associated with severe rotator cuff deficiency. Statistically significant improvements were seen in pain and functional outcome. Afte...

Bone healing is still a great challenge in orthopedic surgery and clinical practice. There is a dearth of research investigating the effect of Zeolite/Collagen (ZC) nanocomposite on bone regeneration. In the present study, a critical segmental defect of the rabbit femur was repaired using defects in femurs repaired by ZC nanocomposite, and the effects were examined histologically. In total, 45 ...

Patients suffering from generalised convulsions may dislocate their shoulders either anteriorly or posteriorly. Those with anterior dislocation are likely to have recurrent episodes because of secondary bony damage to the anterior rim of the glenoid and head of the humerus. In such patients there is high rate of failure of the standard soft-tissue stabilisation procedures. We have therefore dev...
