Editorial Commentary: Superior Capsular Reconstruction-Improved Superior Stability and Functional Deltoid Reverse
1Osaka Medical College.
Abstract:
Since I reported clinical and biomechanical improvement after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) for irreparable rotator cuff tears in 2012 and 2013, many shoulder surgeons around the world have started to perform SCR. However, most of these surgeons are still on the learning curve, and their clinical results are not consistent because clinical outcomes after SCR are correlated with graft healing, which is affected by the surgeon's skill. In cases in which the graft does heal, active shoulder elevation increases after SCR even in patients with pseudoparalysis before surgery. These patients can elevate the arm using the deltoid muscle when superior shoulder stability is restored after SCR. When patients whose grafts have healed cannot elevate the arm even after SCR, they may have concomitant cervical radiculopathy, which causes real paralysis.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
