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.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Shoulder Surgery

Background:

  • Batter's shoulder is a recently identified condition involving posterior shoulder instability.
  • It results from missed swings, particularly on outside pitches, increasing stress on the posterior capsulolabral complex.
  • The non-throwing arm is typically affected, except in switch hitters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe batter's shoulder, a specific type of posterior shoulder instability.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic posterior labral repair as a treatment option.
  • To determine the expected recovery time and outcomes for athletes with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Review of patients undergoing arthroscopic posterior labral repair for batter's shoulder.
  • Assessment of patient outcomes and return-to-play data.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopic posterior labral repair demonstrated excellent results in over 90% of cases in a small series.
  • Success rates align with literature for arthroscopic posterior instability treatment (75-91%).
  • Return to play was achieved in approximately 6 to 7 months post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic posterior labral repair is an effective treatment for batter's shoulder.
  • The procedure offers a high success rate and a predictable return to play timeline.
  • Further long-term studies are needed to fully understand the natural history and prognosis of batter's shoulder.
