Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the glenohumeral joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Such joint replacement surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage. [1] Shoulder replacement surgery is an option for treatment of severe arthritis of the shoulder joint.
A variety of methods may be used to diagnose axillary nerve palsy. The health practitioner may examine the shoulder for muscle atrophy of the deltoid muscle. [2] Furthermore, a patient can also be tested for weakness when asked to raise the arm. [2] The deltoid extension lag sign test is one way to evaluate the severity of the muscle weakness.
Type of cancer Usual location in the body Fibrous tissue Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) Legs Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Trunk Synovial sarcoma: Legs Fat Liposarcoma: Arms, legs, trunk Muscle (striated) Rhabdomyosarcoma: Arms, legs Muscle (smooth) Leiomyosarcoma: Uterus, digestive tract Blood vessels Angiosarcoma
The bone showed typical characteristics of cancer, including areas of cortical destruction, neoplastic bone formations, and disordered organization inconsistent with a simple fracture or infection. The structural and histological similarities with a high-grade human osteosarcoma case strengthened the diagnosis.
A bone tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in bone, traditionally classified as noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). [1] [4] Cancerous bone tumors usually originate from a cancer in another part of the body such as from lung, breast, thyroid, kidney and prostate. [1] There may be a lump, pain, or neurological signs from pressure. [1]
Muscles spanning from the scapula to the arm are generally spared, which include the deltoid and the rotator cuff muscles. [37] [38] The deltoid can be affected later on, especially the upper portion. [4] Severe muscle wasting can make bones and spared shoulder muscles very visible, a characteristic example being the "poly-hill" sign elicited ...
Bone metastasis, or osseous metastatic disease, is a category of cancer metastases that result from primary tumor invasions into bones. Bone-originating primary tumors such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma are rare; the most common bone tumor is a metastasis. [1] Bone metastases can be classified as osteolytic, osteoblastic ...
A bone sarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumour, a type of sarcoma that starts in the bones. [1] This is in contrast to most bone cancers that are secondary having developed as a metastasis from another cancer. Bone sarcomas are rare, and mostly affect the legs. The other type of sarcoma is a soft-tissue sarcoma.
