Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...
Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Subacromial osteochondroma can cause shoulder impingement syndrome by irritating the rotator cuff. Arthroscopic resection of this benign bone tumor effectively relieved pain and restored function in a patient who failed nonoperative treatment.

Autologous Microfractured and Purified Adipose Tissue for Arthroscopic Management of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus

Published on: January 23, 2018

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Impingement syndrome commonly results from mechanical irritation of the rotator cuff and subacromial bursa by the coracoacromial arch.
  • Osteochondromas are benign bone tumors arising from aberrant epiphyseal growth plate cartilage, with scapular involvement being relatively rare but representing the most common benign scapular tumor.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with impingement syndrome attributed to a subacromial osteochondroma causing mechanical irritation of the rotator cuff.
  • Nonoperative management failed to alleviate the patient's chronic shoulder pain, which had been consistent for 15 years.

Findings:

  • Arthroscopic resection of the subacromial osteochondroma was successfully performed.
  • The patient experienced substantial pain relief and functional restoration post-surgery, confirming the osteochondroma as the source of impingement.

Implications:

  • This case highlights arthroscopic resection as an effective treatment for subacromial osteochondroma causing shoulder impingement.
  • This is the first reported instance of arthroscopic resection for a subacromial osteochondroma, offering a minimally invasive surgical option.
