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]
Rotator cuff tear; Other names: Rotator cuff injury, rotator cuff disease: Some of the muscles of the rotator cuff, with a tear in the supraspinatus muscle: Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Shoulder pain, weakness [1] Types: Partial, complete [2] Diagnostic method: Based on symptoms, examination, medical imaging [2] Differential diagnosis
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.
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 ...
A rotator cuff tear injury results in the muscles, ligaments and tendons being disturbed which in-turn restricts regular movement. Specialty: Physiotherapy: Symptoms: Mild to severe aches and pains, numbness, weakness, tingling and atrophy: Complications: Loss of movement, disability: Duration: Dependent on injury, 2-10 weeks [1] [2] Types
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Muscle and soft tissue procedures | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Muscle and soft tissue procedures | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
The rotator cuff can cause pain in many different ways including tendonitis, bursitis, calcific tendonitis, partial thickness tears, full thickness tears or mechanical impingement. [5] Tendinitis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome can be treated with tendon repair and the Mumford procedure or acromioplasty. [citation needed]
The impinged structures include the supraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle, and the infraspinatus muscle. The Hawkins–Kennedy test is considered to be a highly sensitive test (79%) [ 3 ] and thus a positive Hawkins–Kennedy test suggests that injury is likely.
