Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

6.5K
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

Low-profile inlays in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) did not reduce scapular notching but significantly improved external rotation. Glenosphere overhang did not impact notching rates, and no increased dislocation risk was observed.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Scapular notching is a common complication following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), often caused by implant impingement.
  • Low-profile inlays were introduced to mitigate inferior notching by reducing implant contact.
  • The clinical effectiveness of low-profile inlays in preventing scapular notching remains under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of low-profile inlays on range of motion and the incidence of scapular notching after RSA.
  • To assess the relationship between glenosphere overhang and scapular notching.
  • To determine if low-profile inlays affect the risk of shoulder dislocation post-RSA.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center study included 120 patients (123 prostheses) undergoing RSA, comparing low-profile (n=88) and standard (n=35) inlays.
  • Patients were followed for two years with radiological and clinical examinations.
  • Analyses compared outcomes based on inlay type and postoperative glenosphere overhang (low, medium, high).

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in scapular notching incidence was found between low-profile and standard inlay types.
  • Scapular notching rates were similar across different glenosphere overhang groups (46% low, 55% medium, 39% high; p=0.261).
  • Low-profile inlays demonstrated significantly improved median postoperative external rotation (40°) compared to standard inlays (20°; p=0.0002), with only one dislocation in the cohort.

Conclusions:

  • Low-profile inlays in RSA do not reduce scapular notching within two years postoperatively.
  • External rotation significantly improved with low-profile inlays without an increased risk of dislocation.
  • Glenosphere overhang extent was not associated with scapular notching, irrespective of inlay type.
