A descriptive study on arm/shoulder problems and its correlation with quality of mastectomy scar

This video describes a technique of radical mastectomy, which is used for the surgical removal of the entire mammary gland from a mouse to study cancer...

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is indicated for the treatment of conditions that cannot be treated with conventional arthroplasty or other procedures. These primarily include degenerative and incapacitating conditions with irreparable rotator cuff and loss of the normal biomechanical coupling of the shoulder.

This protocol presents an in vivo rat model of adhesive capsulitis. The model includes an internal fixation of the glenohumeral joint with extra-articular suture fixation for an extended time, resulting in a decreased rotational range of motion (ROM) and increased joint...

Examination of the shoulder can be complex, because it actually consists of four separate joints: are the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, the sternoclavicular joint, and the scapulothoracic joint. The GH joint is primarily responsible for shoulder motion and is the most mobile joint in the body. It has been likened to a golf ball sitting on a tee and is prone to instability. It is held in place...

This protocol will explain how to establish a hypertrophic scarring murine model that increases mechanotransduction signaling to simulate human-like scarring. This method involves increasing mechanical tension across a healing incision in a mouse and using a specialized device to create reproducible, excessive scar tissue for detailed histological and bioinformatic...

This protocol describes the generation of a skin-fascia explant termed "SCar like tissue in A Dish" or SCAD. This model allows unprecedented visualization of single fibroblasts during scar...
