BACKGROUND Understanding glenohumeral motion in normal and pathologic states requires the precise measurement of shoulder kinematics. The effect of the plane of arm elevation on glenohumeral translations and rotations remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to measure the three-dimensional glenohumeral translations and rotations during arm elevation in healthy subjects. METHODS...

Clinical characteristics. Indications. Symptomatic treatment of pain syndrome and inflammation at osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system accompanied by pain (namely, scapulohumeral periarthritis and extra-articular rheumatism). As analgesic agent in states accompanied by pain (including back pain, toothache, and primary (fu...

A technique of shoulder arthrodesis is presented. Fixation of the arthrodesis combines scapulohumeral half-frame Hoffmann external fixation and internal fixation using a cancellous screw. Cancellous bone autografts are packed at the site of arthrodesis. The functional results of nine cases are presented.

65 Scapulohumeral Joint Luxation in a Dog INTRODUCTION Excision arthroplasty has been proposed as an alternative procedure for salvage of the canine scapulohumeral joint that cannot be effectively treated by conventional techniques (1, 2). Two techniques of excision shoulder arthroplasty have been described. In one technique, only an ostectomy of the glenoid cavity of the scapula was performed ...

Three members of an Indian family with facio scapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD linked to chromosome 4q35 with short EcoR1 segment of 23 Kb are reported where two male adults had schizophrenia. One family member developed isolated facial weakness with mild mental retardation. This genetically proven FSHD family is reported because of its uncommon associations.

However, during the recent decades the focus has been placed on the coordinated movements of the scapula and humerus; called as scapulohumeral rhythm, in shoulder impingement [4,5]. It is thought that abnormal scapular motion plays a significant role in the development shoulder impingement symptoms [6-9]. Functional loss and disability is the most common symptoms associated with shoulder imping...

This case demonstrates a rarely reported bilateral scapulohumeral bony ankylosis. A young woman developed extensive heterotopic ossifications (HOs) in both shoulder joints after being mechanically ventilated for several months at the intensive care unit in a comatose status. She presented with a severe movement restriction of both shoulder joints. Surgical resection of the bony bridges was perf...
