glenoid morphology

BACKGROUND: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is closely related to the dynamic balance and stability of mandibular function and orthodontic treatment. Skeletal class II female patients are thought to be at high risk for TMJ disease. The relationship between the TMJ and craniofacial structures is still controversial. This study compared the morphology and position of the TMJ in skeletal class II adolescents and adults with various vertical facial types using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)...

BACKGROUND: Glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty is a difficult problem that is prone to complications due to challenges with achieving glenoid component fixation and stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty for patients with severe glenoid medialization precluding placement of a glenoid component. METHODS: This was a retrospective case series evaluating patients who underwent shoulder hemiarthroplasty for severe glenoid erosion and medialization between 2010 and 2020...

Objective  There are few studies to date reporting on outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with cohorts stratified by glenosphere size. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role that glenosphere size has on postoperative outcomes. Methods  Patients who underwent reverse TSA between 1987 with minimum of 2.0 years of follow-up were included. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on glenosphere size of 36mm or 40mm. Patients' range of motion, patient-reported outcomes, and radiographic variables (glenoid preoperative morphology, scapular notching, humeral loosening) were evaluated...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the relationship of persistent foramen tympanicum (PFT) with degenerative changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the presence of pneumatized glenoid fossae and articular eminences. METHOD: Two experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologists evaluated 510 CBCT scans, from which 94 patients were divided into two groups: G1-patients with PFT and G2-control group...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate glenohumeral morphological features on a magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) to determine risk factors for recurrence of anterior shoulder instability following arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR). METHODS: A retrospective review of patients who underwent ABR between 2012 and 2017 was performed to identify patients who had recurrence of instability following stabilisation (Group 1). These were pair-matched in a 2:1 ratio for age, gender and sport with a control (Group 2) who underwent ABR without recurrence...

Fractures of the scapula are rare injuries, accounting for 3-5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. They are frequently the result of high energy trauma and often present with concurrent and life-threatening injuries to adjacent structures, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Patients presenting with scapula fractures must receive a thorough and systematic clinical assessment as directed by national trauma guidelines. Appropriate imaging is essential in delineating fracture morphology and should at the very least include anteroposterior, anteroposterior oblique (Grashey) and axillary or scapula 'Y' view of the shoulder...

INTRODUCTION: Humeral implant designs for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) focus on anatomic reconstruction of the articular segment. Likewise, the pathoanatomy of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) often results in humeral head deformity. We hypothesized the anatomic reconstruction of the humeral head in aTSA risks overstuffing the glenohumeral joint. METHODS: 97 cases (52 females) of primary GHOA in patients treated with aTSA were evaluated...

BACKGROUND: Patients who undergo reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are getting younger with greater function expectations. This retrospective, longitudinal study of prospectively collected data compared perceived shoulder function and strength, active shoulder mobility, radiographic evidence of scapular notching, and implant survival over the initial 2-years post-RTSA among patient groups who received either standard central fixation point liner and glenoid baseplate implants, or lower size profile mini-humeral tray with offset trunnion options and mini-augmented glenoid baseplate implants...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of congenital unilateral first permanent molar occlusal loss (CUMOL) on the morphology and position of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 37 patients with CUMOL (18 males and 19 females, mean age: 13.60 ± 4.38 years) were divided into two subgroups according to the status of second molar (G1: the second molar not erupted, n = 18, G2: second molar erupted, n = 19)...

BACKGROUND: Constitutional static posterior humeral decentering (type C1 according to ABC Classification) has been recognized as a pre-osteoarthritic deformity that may lead to early-onset posterior decentering osteoarthritis at a young age. Therefore, it is important to identify possible associations of this pathologic shoulder condition to find more effective treatment options. PURPOSE: To perform a comprehensive analysis of all parameters reported to be associated with a C1 shoulder-including the osseous shoulder morphology, scapulothoracic orientation, and the muscle volume of the shoulder girdle in a single patient cohort...

BACKGROUND: The extent of measurement errors of statistical shape models that predict native glenoid width based on glenoid height to subsequently determine the amount of anterior glenoid bone loss is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to (1) create a statistical shape model based on glenoid height and width measured on 3D-CT and determine the accuracy through measurement errors and (2) determine measurement errors of existing 3D-CT statistical shape models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study included all consecutive patients that underwent CT-imaging before undergoing primary surgical treatment of traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation between 2007 and 2022 at the Tohoku University Hospital and affiliated hospitals...

Important transformations of the pectoral girdle are related to the appearance of flight capabilities in the Dinosauria. Previous studies on this topic focused mainly on paravians yet recent data suggests flight evolved in dinosaurs several times, including at least once among non-avialan paravians. Thus, to fully explore the evolution of flight-related avian shoulder girdle characteristics, it is necessary to compare morphology more broadly. Here, we present information from pennaraptoran specimens preserving pectoral girdle elements, including all purportedly volant taxa, and extensively compare aspects of the shoulder joint...

BACKGROUND: The temporomandibular joint diseases have been associated with various predisposing factors. Joint spaces, articular eminence height and inclination, and the shapes of the condylar and glenoid fossa have all been shown to vary in temporomandibular joint diseases (TMD) patients. Advanced imaging techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) have been employed to estimate these parameters. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to investigate the condylar morphology, condylar and glenoid fossa shapes, and assessment of joint spaces, such as anterior, posterior, superior, lateral, and medial spaces, through CBCT slices in coronal and sagittal planes and compare them between the control group and TMD group...

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) accounts for over half of shoulder replacement surgeries. At present, the optimal position of RTSA components is unknown. Previous biomechanical studies have investigated the effect of construct placement to quantify mobility, stability and functionality postoperatively. While studies have provided valuable information on construct design and surgical placement, they have not systematically evaluated the importance of scapular morphology on biomechanical outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of scapular morphology variation on RTSA biomechanics using statistical models, musculoskeletal modeling and predictive simulation...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical utility of a posterior acromial bone block (PABB) for the treatment of posterior glenohumeral instability. METHODS: 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens were obtained based upon an a priori power analysis. A 2.5 cm scapular spine autograft was harvested from all shoulders. A custom robot device was used to apply a 50-N compressive force to the glenohumeral joint. The humeral head was translated 10mm posteroinferiorly at 30 degrees from the center of the glenoid at a rate of 1...

INTRODUCTION: The etiology of humeral posterior subluxation remains unknown, and it has been hypothesized that horizontal muscle imbalance could cause this condition. The objective of this study was to compare the ratio of anterior to posterior rotator cuff muscle and deltoid volumes as a function of humeral subluxation and glenoid morphology when analyzed as continuous variable in arthritic shoulders. METHODS: Three hundred and thirty-three (273 arthritic and 60 healthy controls) CT-scans of shoulders were included in this study and were segmented automatically...

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the abilitiy of eccentric reaming in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA), to correct preoperative glenoid retroversion and to compare with cuff tear arthopaty (CTA) cases. METHODS: Fifty-nine patients who underwent RSA with GHOA or CTA diagnosis between 2013 and 2022 and who had pre- and postoperative computed tomography scans were included in the study...

PURPOSE: The relationship between functional shoulder deficits in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shoulder abnormalities was evaluated. METHODS: Shoulder function was assessed in 16 children (mean age: 5.8 years; range: 3-12 years) with NBPP based on shoulder rotator muscle strength, as measured using an isokinetic dynamometer and the modified Mallet score. The thickness and fatty infiltration of the subscapularis and infraspinatus muscles, and the morphology of the glenoid on MRI, were also determined...
