A patient with a fractured coracoid process in association with a dislocation of the shoulder is reported. The fracture was not recognised initially, and early mobilisation was encouraged; the widely separated fracture did not heal and a painful pseudarthrosis developed. We believe that this association may not be as rare as generally supposed, and emphasise the importance of careful clinical e...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to provide preliminary measures of the distance between the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis footprints and the acromion, coracoacromial ligament, and coracoid process, during dynamic arm elevations through the entire range-of-motion. METHODS Two healthy men performed maximum adduction, flexion, abduction, and extension with the arm in...

Background: Coracoid bone graft osteolysis and fibrous union are the principal causes of failure in patients treated with the Latarjet procedure. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that coracoid bone graft osteolysis is more pronounced in cases without glenoid bone loss, which may be due to a diminished mechanotransduction effect at the bone healing site. Methods: We prospectively fo...

Coracoid fractures (CF) are relatively uncommon injuries and in most cases associated with other concomitant lesions to the superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC). As far authors’ knowledge, there no reports of an isolated acute fracture base coracoid process, years after Latarjet procedure. The authors present case a 51-year-old male non-professional cyclist, history left procedure 9-year...

OBJECTIVE To establish the anatomical relationship of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) located in the suprascapular notch, to the medial border of the base of the coracoid process, the acromial joint surface of the acromioclavicular joint and the anterolateral border of the acromion. METHODS We dissected 16 shoulders of 16 cadavers (9 males and 7 females). The distances from the suprascapular ne...

Abstract A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the left kidney seven years ago. The tumour staged as T2N0M0 and patient underwent an uncomplicated open radical nephrectomy. RCC classified clear he kept on biannual surveillance thereafter. Six after nephrectomy, had reported a 5-month history worsening pain globally restricted movement in their right shoulder. palpab...
