Successful outcome of a Bankart procedure depends on knowledge of the effects of capsulolabral lesions on joint biomechanics. The joint reaction force, through "concavity compression," is integral to glenohumeral stability. In this study, we applied loads to the tendons of the rotator cuff and deltoid (anterior and middle portions) of five cadaver upper limbs. The joint reaction force was measu...

Tears to the lateral glenohumeral ligament appear to be uncommon in dogs. Two Labrador Retrievers were arthroscopically diagnosed with lateral glenohumeral ligament tears of the shoulder. Both cases failed to respond to conservative management. Surgical stabilisation of the lateral aspect of the shoulder joint was achieved using an arthroscopically placed suture using a hanging limb technique. ...

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECT SCAPULAR STABILIZATION AND MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES ON PAIN RANGE MOTION GLENOHUMERAL JOINT IN WOMEN WITH FROZEN SHOULDER

BACKGROUND Various manual therapy procedures are increasingly more often being used in the treatment of shoulder complex dysfunctions. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether manual therapy can improve the range of motion in the glenohumeral joint and alleviate pain in patients with chronic rotator cuff injuries MATERIAL AND METHODS The participants were randomly assigne...

The glenoid labrum is an integral component of the glenohumeral capsule's insertion into the glenoid, and changes in labrum geometry and mechanical properties may lead to the development of glenohumeral joint pathology. The objective of this research was to determine the effect that changes in labrum thickness and modulus have on strains in the labrum and glenohumeral capsule during a simulated...

BACKGROUND Lesions to the axillary artery are reported in overhead athletes. One speculated cause is repeated transient compression by the humeral head due to excessive laxity at the glenohumeral joint. HYPOTHESES (1) Anterior translation of the glenohumeral joint alters axillary artery diameter and blood flow characteristics, and (2) individuals demonstrating inducible axillary artery compre...
