Hamartomas of the chest wall are rare benign lesions usually appear in infancy. We report an adult with giant hamartoma of the chest wall. A 21-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with swelling on his scapular region. An erythematous, swollen, and wide plaque formed mass lesion of 250 x 180 on the left scapular region was found in his physical examination. Thorax CT revealed a tumoral les...

BACKGROUND We aim to illustrate the applications of 3-dimensional (3-D) photogrammetry for surgical planning and longitudinal assessment of the volumetric changes in hemifacial microsomia. METHODS A 3-D photogrammetric system was employed for planning soft tissue expansion and transplantation of a vascularized scapular flap for a patient with hemifacial microsomia. The facial deficiency was c...

Background and Aim: Changes in the position of the scapula due to its multiple roles, including acting as a muscle binding site and stabilization in this area can reduce the physiological and biomechanical efficiency of the shoulder, which ultimately increases shoulder injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the functional stability of shoulder girdle between asymmetric and ...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare scapular kinematics during elevation phase of abduction, flexion, and scapular plane elevation phase between fifteen persons with shoulder impingement syndrome (sis) and thirteen persons without it. methods: values of scapular kinematics include scapular superior and lateral translations, upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior tipp...

purpose: altered kinematics of the scapula or scapular dyskinesis (downward rotation, anterior tilt, and protraction) contribute to impingement syndrome by decreasing the subacromial space. given the critical role of scapular position and movement in the function of the shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position and dyskinesis in individuals with and without rounded should...

We use the acronym SICK to refer to the findings one sees in this syndrome (Scapular malposition, Inferior medial border prominence, Coracoid pain and malposition, and dysKinesis of scapular movement). This recently recognized overuse muscular fatigue syndrome is yet another cause of shoulder pain in the throwing athlete who presents with dead arm complaints.1 The hallmark feature of this syndr...

Purpose: Scapular dyskinesis is defined as alteration in scapular movements due to the loss of strength muscles; tightness soft tissues around shoulder and postural problems. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) one therapeutic exercises improve muscles weakness pain levels. The aim this study was investigate effects a six-week PNF application on muscle strength, asymmetry, pectorali...
