Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.1K
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...

Muscles of the Shoulder

8.1K
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.

A new classification system for subscapularis (SSC) tendon tears uses objective criteria, similar to supraspinatus tears. This method accurately distinguishes partial from full-thickness tears, aiding in rotator cuff repair diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Rotator Cuff Pathology

Background:

  • Subscapularis (SSC) tendons share histologic similarities with supraspinatus tendons, featuring two layers with distinct collagen fiber organization.
  • Existing partial/full-thickness tear classifications for supraspinatus tendons are proposed to be applicable to the subscapularis tendon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an objective, structure-based classification system for subscapularis tendon lesions.
  • To evaluate the applicability of supraspinatus tear classification criteria to the subscapularis tendon.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 100 arthroscopic rotator cuff repair films involving subscapularis lesions.
  • Assessment of lesions based on three objective criteria: horizontal superior tendon edge visibility, lesser tuberosity bone exposure, and lateral tendon edge visibility.
  • Evaluation of lesion retraction and inter/intra-observer reproducibility.

Main Results:

  • A combined analysis of the three criteria successfully distinguished deep, superficial, or interstitial partial tears from full-thickness tears.
  • Partial tears (73) varied: 46 involved the deep articular layer, 23 were interstitial, and 4 affected only the superficial layer.
  • Full-thickness tears (27) consistently showed retraction, loss of the horizontal superior tendon edge, lateral tendon edge visibility, and a comma sign.

Conclusions:

  • An objective, structure-based classification system for subscapularis tendon lesions is feasible, mirroring superior cuff tear classification.
  • The proposed criteria provide reliable differentiation between partial and full-thickness subscapularis tears.
  • This classification aids in accurate diagnosis and surgical planning for subscapularis tendon pathology.
