  3. Hawkins–Kennedy test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkins–Kennedy_test

    To evaluate a shoulder injury The Hawkins–Kennedy Test is a test used in the evaluation of orthopedic shoulder injury. It was first described in the 1980s by Canadians R. Hawkins and J. Kennedy, and a positive test is most likely indicative of damage to the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle .

  4. Latarjet procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latarjet_procedure

    The Latarjet procedure involves the removal and transfer of a section of the coracoid process and its attached muscles to the front of the glenoid. This placement of the coracoid acts as a bone block which, combined with the transferred muscles acting as a strut, prevents further dislocation of the joint. [3]

  5. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    The rotator cuff includes muscles such as the supraspinatus muscle, the infraspinatus muscle, the teres minor muscle and the subscapularis muscle. The upper arm consists of the deltoids, biceps, as well as the triceps. Steps must be taken and precautions need to be made in order for the rotator cuffs to heal properly following surgery while ...

  6. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  7. Infraspinatus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infraspinatus_muscle

    In human anatomy, the infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle, which occupies the chief part of the infraspinatous fossa. [1] As one of the four muscles of the rotator cuff , the main function of the infraspinatus is to externally rotate the humerus and stabilize the shoulder joint.

  8. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    Surgery may be done arthroscopically or as open surgery. The impinging structures may be removed in surgery, and the subacromial space may be widened by resection of the distal clavicle and excision of osteophytes on the under-surface of the acromioclavicular joint. [4] Damaged rotator cuff muscles can be surgically repaired.

  9. Greater tubercle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_tubercle

    The greater tubercle of the humerus is the outward part the upper end of that bone, adjacent to the large rounded prominence of the humerus head. It provides attachment points for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles, three of the four muscles of the rotator cuff, a muscle group that stabilizes the shoulder joint.
