Summary
This case study highlights a rare intraosseous ganglion cyst in the shoulder causing chronic pain. Surgical removal and bone grafting effectively resolved symptoms and restored shoulder function.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Intraosseous ganglion cysts are rare benign lesions typically found in subchondral bone near joints.
- These cysts present as multiloculated lesions with fibrous tissue and mucoid degeneration.
Observation:
- A 33-year-old woman experienced five years of worsening right shoulder pain and limited range of motion.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) identified a subchondral bone cyst in the glenoid fossa.
Findings:
- The patient underwent surgical curettage of the ganglion cyst and iliac bone grafting.
- Post-operative recovery showed complete pain resolution and improved shoulder mobility.
Implications:
- This case demonstrates the successful management of a rare intraosseous ganglion cyst.
- Effective surgical intervention can restore function and alleviate chronic pain in affected patients.

01:23Muscles of the Shoulder
4.1K
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.

01:31Muscles that Move the Arm
2.1K
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...

01:19Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus
3.5K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...
