Shoulder motion is complex and significant research efforts have focused on measuring glenohumeral joint motion. Unfortunately, conventional motion measurement techniques are unable to measure glenohumeral joint kinematics during dynamic shoulder motion to clinically significant levels of accuracy. The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy of a new model-based tracking technique fo...

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare variation of an angiosarcoma and its localization in the bone is exceptionally infrequent. This report presents the case of a 48-year-old male with an epithelioid angiosarcoma of the scapula. In CT and MRI scans an inhomogeneous tumour with osseous destructions, lytic areas, central necrosis and marginal hyperperfusion was observed. The bordering skeletal musc...

BACKGROUND Generally, scapula process fractures (coracoid and acromion) have been treated nonoperatively with favorable outcome, with the exception of widely displaced fractures. Very little has been published, however, regarding the operative management of such fractures and the literature that is available involves very few patients. Our hypothesis was that operative treatment of displaced ac...

Introduction Customary dissection in the Physical Therapy Anatomy Laboratory yielded a unilateral left-sided scapular ligament variation in a single cadaver. The embalmed specimen was a 58-year-old Caucasian male. The primary finding was a variant ligament which spanned across the supraspinous fossa in inferior to superior orientation. The suprascapular nerve and artery were seen passing under ...
