Muscles of the Shoulder

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.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Surgical Education
Medical Simulation

Background:

Shoulder arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure.
Effective and affordable training models are crucial for surgical education.
Existing models can be expensive and inaccessible.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a low-cost, accessible training model for shoulder arthroscopy.
To simulate the common patient positioning used in shoulder arthroscopy procedures.
To provide a practical tool for enhancing the skills of medical students and residents.

Main Methods:

Constructed a training model using a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) knee joint pipe and a synthetic shoulder.
Arranged components to replicate lateral recumbency with upper limb traction.
Incorporated anatomical landmarks like glenoid dots and a partial rotator cuff model.

Main Results:

Successfully created a functional shoulder arthroscopy training model.
The model's cost was below US$ 100, making it highly affordable.
The design effectively simulates key aspects of the surgical setup.

Conclusions:

The developed model offers an inexpensive and practical solution for shoulder arthroscopy training.
This training tool can significantly benefit the practical education of aspiring surgeons.
The model's ease of creation and low cost promote wider accessibility in surgical training programs.
