background scapula fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fractures and constitute about 3% - 5% of all injuries of the shoulder joint. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 20 surgically treated patients with displaced glenoid fractures after stabilization with distal radius plate. methods between 2012 and 2015, at 2 centers (hmch & shce) of bhubaneswar odisha, w...

Glenoid fractures are rare, and relatively little is known about their mechanism, fracture pattern and optimal treatment strategies. The avulsions and rim fractures are strongly associated with anterior shoulder dislocations. Fossa fractures are mostly seen in high energy trauma patients as direct impact of the humeral head against the glenoid fossa. CT-scanning can be very useful in diagnosing...

Scapular fractures are only 1% of all the fractures [2]. Glenoid neck fractures are 18-33% of the scapular fractures and only 50% of them have a double SSSC disruption. A glenoid neck and clavicle fractures is the most common type of floating shoulder injury pattern [2]. Open injuries are present in 9% of the FS cases [3]. The FS is often present in polytrauma patients (AIS of more than two in ...

The mandibular condyle region which protects the middle cranial fossa from facial and jaw traumas has an excellent osteomuscular structure. Condylar structures reduce or limit the force of trauma. Most importantly, the condylar neck is the weakest part of the mandible and is easily fractured without dislocation. Generally, this mechanism prevents condylar penetration into the middle cranial fos...

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...

Shoulder injuries account for a large number of hospital admissions, due to their wide variety pathologies and injuries, generally produced by use or trauma. Among them are chondrolabral which have historically been categorized into three groups (GLAD, GARDS y GLAT);however, new category has recently proposed named glenoid labral articular teardrop lesion (GLAT) because its characteristic image...

Study population The study population comprised patients aged between 18 and 70 years with an acute anterior shoulder dislocation. The exclusion criteria were multiple trauma, an associated fracture (except a Hill-Sachs compression defect) of the glenoid or tuberosities, open growth plates, a history of allergic reactions to the medications used in the study, and the inability to be placed in t...

BACKGROUND Resorbable anchors are widely used in arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder as a means of soft tissue fixation to bone. Their function is to ensure repair stability until they are replaced by host tissue. Complications include inflammatory soft tissue reactions, cyst formation, screw fragmentation in the joint, osteolytic reactions, and enhanced glenoid rim susceptibility to fra...

background : glenoid bone damages consisting of anterior rim erosion and bony avulsion are very important in decision making for treatment of recurrent dislocation in shoulder joint. this study was aimed to determine the prevalence of these damages in patients with anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation. methods : the study was a cross-sectional study evaluating patients with unstable shoulder...

2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY The glenohumeral joint is one of great mobility facilitated through the complex interplay of soft tissue and osseous anatomy. Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization has become the standard of care in the surgical management of glenohumeral instability. However, the management of the unstable shoulder associated w...
