Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Os acromiale (OA), a rare shoulder condition, was found in 3.32% of patients undergoing shoulder MRI. This study reports the prevalence of this shoulder pathology in Saudi Arabia.

Area Of Science

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background

  • Os acromiale (OA) is an uncommon shoulder pathology.
  • Its prevalence varies significantly across different populations.
  • Understanding OA prevalence is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To determine the frequency of Os acromiale (OA) in patients with shoulder pathology.
  • To utilize shoulder MRI scans for identifying OA.
  • To contribute data on OA prevalence in the Saudi Arabian population.

Main Methods

  • Retrospective study design.
  • Evaluation of shoulder and upper arm MRI scans.
  • Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval obtained prior to data collection.

Main Results

  • The prevalence of Os acromiale (OA) was determined to be 3.32%.
  • The average age of individuals diagnosed with OA was 50.87 years.
  • Age range for affected patients was 25 to 81 years.

Conclusions

  • The prevalence of Os acromiale (OA) in Saudi Arabian patients with shoulder pain is 3.32%.
  • This finding aligns with previously published international prevalence rates.
  • The study highlights the importance of considering OA in shoulder pain evaluations.

Muscles of the Shoulder 01:23

3.7K

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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging 01:24

5.1K

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius 01:09

2.2K

The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Assessment of apical radial pulse 01:25

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
