A bone fracture of the shoulder involves a partial or total crack through one of the three bones in the shoulder, the clavicle, the scapula, and the humerus. The break in a bone usually occurs as a result of an impact injury, such as a fall or blow to the shoulder. Fractures usually involve the clavicle or the neck (area below the ball) of the ...
Fracture Named after Description Mechanism of injury Reference Bankart's fracture: Arthur Bankart: Fracture of anterior glenoid associated with anterior shoulder dislocation: External rotation and abduction of shoulder [1] [2] Barton's fracture: John Rhea Barton: distal radius fracture involving the articular surface with dislocation of the ...
The lesion is associated with anterior shoulder dislocation. [1] When the humerus is driven from the glenoid cavity , its relatively soft head impacts against the anterior edge of the glenoid . The result is a divot or flattening in the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head , usually opposite the coracoid process .
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [3] It is an injury of the anterior glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
SLAP is an acronym for "Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior". [1] SLAP lesions are commonly seen in overhead throwing athletes but middle-aged labor workers can also be affected, and they can be caused by chronic overuse or an acute stretch injury of the shoulder.
A fracture in this area is most likely to cause damage to the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery. Damage to the axillary nerve affects function of the teres minor and deltoid muscles, resulting in loss of abduction of arm (from 15-90 degrees), weak flexion, extension, and rotation of shoulder as well as loss of sensation of ...
The sphenopalatine artery is the artery commonly responsible for epistaxis (difficult to control bleeding of the nasal cavity, especially the posterior nasal cavity). [3] In severe nose bleed cases which do not stop after intense packing of anti-clotting agents, the sphenopalatine artery can be ligated (clipped and then cut) during open surgery ...
