Biomechanical Properties of Synthetic Mesh Reconstructed Glenohumeral Joint Capsule

Structural and mechanical properties of the glenohumeral joint posterior capsule.

The purpose of this study was to quantify regional variations in material properties of the glenohumeral joint posterior capsule and to compare these data with the anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (AB-IGHL). Mechanical properties were determined for individual bands of the AB-IGHL, superior posterior capsule (SUP-PC), middle posterior capsule (MID-PC), and inferior posterior ...

Biomechanical properties of the costovertebral joint.

Proper modeling of the human trunk requires a quantitative assessment of the stiffness of the costovertebral joints. Twelve samples (adjacent thoracic vertebrae and one rib segment) were harvested from three subjects. The ribs were loaded in the cranial-caudal direction, the ventral-dorsal direction and in torsion around the cervical rib axis. The force applied to and the displacement of the lo...

Glenohumeral Joint Injections

CONTEXT Intra-articular injections into the glenohumeral joint are commonly performed by musculoskeletal providers, including orthopaedic surgeons, family medicine physicians, rheumatologists, and physician assistants. Despite their frequent use, there is little guidance for injectable treatments to the glenohumeral joint for conditions such as osteoarthritis, adhesive capsulitis, and rheumatoi...

The effect of concomitant glenohumeral joint capsule release during rotator cuff repair--a comparative study.

BACKGROUND There is debate as to whether to operate or to defer surgery on patients with concomitant rotator cuff tear and shoulder stiffness. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare the outcomes in those patients who had both their rotator cuff tear and shoulder stiffness treated with the outcomes of patients who had a rotator cuff repair but no stiffness. METHODS Twenty-five pati...
