[Trial manufacture of subsidiary tool and use of technique for shoulder joint of "Scapula Y"]

The technique of "Scapula Y " is effective for capturing forward/backward dislocation of the humeral head and variation in surgical spine fracture. It is also indispensable for describing images of ossification at the tendon plate of the lower lobe of the acrominon and impingement syndrome. However, owing to large individual variations in body shape and position and shape of the scapula, the conventional method does not lend itself to stable reproduction of position or provide adequate diagnostic information. We measured the central angle of entry from scapula m24 pairs of dried bone (Indian) into the spine of the scapula from horizontal and forehead planes to determine the range of variation together with the clinical data referred to in the next paragraph. We then manufactured a trial subsidiary tool to set the angle of the central entering beam base on the acrominon to the spine of the scapula using data on measured angle from 50 clinical radiographs. We identified improvement in radiography of the scapula by using the subsidiary tool designed and manufactured on the basis of the above measured data.
