introdouction: mastoid pneumatization is often complete by the age of 5-years and may involve the temporo mandibular joint (tmj) region, including the pneumatized articular tubercle (pat) and pneumatized roof of the glenoid fossa (prgf). to prevent surgical complications, the diagnosis of these air cells is important. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of ...

BACKGROUND We aimed to establish values and parameters using multislice reconstruction in axial computerized tomography (CT) in order to quantify the erosion of the glenoid cavity in cases of shoulder instability. METHODS We studied two groups using CT. Group I had normal subjects and Group II had patients with shoulder instability. We measured values of the vertical segment, the superior hor...

Objectives: Knowledge of the shape and dimensions of the glenoid are important in the design and fitting of glenoid components for total shoulder arthroplasty. An understanding of variations in normal anatomy of the glenoid is essential while evaluating pathological conditions like osseous Bankart lesions and osteochondral defects. Methods: This study was done on 202 dry, unpaired adult human s...

INTRODUCTION Glenoid component loosening is the main complication of total shoulder arthroplasty. Better knowledge of the arthritic glenoid cavity anatomy can help in developing new implants and techniques. The goal of this study was to describe and validate the reproducibility of a CT scan-based, 3D measurement method used to describe various parameters characterizing arthritic glenoid cavity ...

Obtaining axillary radiographs of the shoulder in acute trauma is not always feasible. The authors present a new modification of this radiographic view, in order to assess the anatomic relationship between the humeral head and the glenoid cavity. The incidence is performed with the patient sitting on X-ray table, with the affected limb supported thereon. The authors describe the case of a 28-ye...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the lateral projection of the acromion and rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in the Brazilian population. METHODS The lateral projection of the acromion was measured using anteroposterior radiographs of the shoulders, carried out with the glenoid cavity in absolute profile and the humeral head in the neutral position or with...

This clinical report describes the successful implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who underwent subtotal bilateral maxillectomy for an oral squamous cell carcinoma with a consequent wide defect interesting the whole hard palate and most of the soft palate, causing a large opening that directly connects the oral cavity to the nasal fossa bilaterally. The innovative aspect of...

Studying the shoulder joint in a palaeo-osteological context in recent years, I have been struck, like Prescher & Klu$ mpen (1997), by the lack of information about the glenoid notch provided by the standard anatomical texts ; indeed equally unexplained is the pear-shape of the glenoid cavity itself. The 7th (1947) edition of Buchanan’s Manual of Anatomy, edited by Wood-Jones, states (p. 273) ‘...
