Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

3.2K
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

7.1K
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...

Stress Concentrations in Circular Shafts01:18

Stress Concentrations in Circular Shafts

280
Consider the elastic torsion formula, which applies to a circular shaft with a consistent cross-section. This formula assumes that the shaft's ends are loaded with rigid plates firmly attached. However, in many cases, torques are applied to the shaft through mechanisms like flange couplings or gears, which are connected by keys inserted into keyways. This application method modifies the stress distribution near the point of torque application, causing it to deviate from the distributions...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A modified arthroscopic rotator cuff repair technique improves visualization of the rotator cuff footprint. Keeping the arthroscope inside the joint facilitates better preparation and anchor placement, especially for complex tears.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroscopic Techniques
  • Shoulder Reconstruction

Background:

  • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair involves addressing intra-articular pathology and tear extent before subacromial space work.
  • Current methods may offer suboptimal visualization of the medial footprint, particularly for cone-shaped tears.
  • Assessing articular-sided tear components and medial footprint is challenging from the subacromial space.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a technical modification in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
  • To highlight the benefits of maintaining intra-articular arthroscope placement for footprint preparation and medial-row anchor placement.
  • To improve visualization of the greater tuberosity footprint, especially for complex tears.

Main Methods:

  • The described technique involves keeping the arthroscope within the joint for initial footprint preparation and medial-row anchor placement.
  • Utilizing a 70° arthroscope directed laterally enhances intra-articular visualization of the footprint.
  • The arthroscope is then moved to the subacromial space to complete the repair after medial anchors are placed.

Main Results:

  • This modification provides superior visualization of the entire greater tuberosity footprint.
  • Optimal visualization is achieved for medial footprint preparation and suture anchor placement.
  • The technique is particularly beneficial for cone-shaped supraspinatus tears and high-grade articular-sided tears.

Conclusions:

  • Keeping the arthroscope intra-articular before subacromial space work is a beneficial technical modification for rotator cuff repair.
  • This approach enhances visualization, aiding in precise footprint preparation and anchor placement.
  • Improved visualization can lead to better outcomes for complex rotator cuff tears.
