Single-Slice Hounsfield Unit (HU) Value of the Chinese Proximal Humerus on Routine Chest CT: A Study on Opportunistically Screening for Low Bone Density

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: A Study on Relationship between Single-Slice Hounsfield Unit(HU) value of the Chinese proximal humerus and Bone Mineral Density(BMD) Using Routine Chest CT and Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DEXA) was performed. Data were collected from 240 individuals who underwent DEXA and routine chest CT s...

Scapulohumeral Spaces: Concordance and Proposal for Terminologia Anatomica

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: The updating of anatomical terms is essential to facilitate teaching and learning as well as international communication through publications and presentations at scientific events. In the posterior wall of the axilla, the teres major, teres minor and triceps brachii muscles form three spaces th...

Esclerosis bilateral de huesos largos: enfermedad de Erdheim-Chester. Reporte de un caso

Actual. osteol; 19 (3), 2023
La enfermedad de Erdheim-Chester (EEC) es una patología poco frecuente, caracterizada por presentar infiltración xantogranulomatosa sistémica, con afección de diversos sistemas incluido el óseo. La EEC se encuentra descripta dentro de las enfermedades osteocon-densantes (EO), las cual...

Supracondylar Apophysis of the Humerus: Rare Cause of High Compression of the Median Nerve

Abstract Supracondylar apophysis (SA) is a bony prominence that originates from the anteromedial aspect of the distal humerus with a lower projection and which, although usually asymptomatic, due to the relationship with adjacent structures can cause symptoms. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman ...

Seudoartrosis recalcitrante de húmero: técnica de reconstrucción biológica
Recalcitrant humeral nonunion: biological reconstruction technique

Introducción: La incidencia de seudoartrosis en las fracturas de húmero tratadas de forma conservadora es del 2-10%, y del 15% en aquellas operadas. La definición de seudoartrosis recalcitrante es aún tema de debate. El objetivo es comunicar los resultados de una serie de pacientes con seudoartrosis ...

Morphometric study of supratrochlear foramen of the humerus related with clinical implications in a thai population

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Supratrochlear foramen (STF) is a perforation of bony wall that separates the olecranon fossa and the coronoid fossa. Its incidence varies among different races. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and morphometry of supratrochlear foramen among Thai population. A total of 64...

Localization of the centre of the highest region of the triceps brachii muscle spindle abundance and its significance in muscle spasticity block

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: This study aimed to accurately localize the location and depth of the centre of the highest region of muscle spindle abundance (CHRMSA) of the triceps brachii muscle. Twenty-four adult cadavers were placed in the prone position. The curve connecting the acromion and lateral epicondyle of the hum...

Intrauterine alcohol exposure disturbs trabecular morphology in the Sprague Dawley rat humerus epiphysis up to 3- weeks postnatally

Int. j. morphol; 39 (5), 2021
SUMMARY: Gestational alcohol exposure inhibits neurological as well as bone growth and development both in fetal and postnatal life. Stunted stature, osteoporosis and fractures in adult life are some of the adverse effects. While the impact of intrauterine alcohol on the brain has been extensively invest...

Effect of adduction during glenohumeral external rotation exercises in the scapulohumeral muscles

Int. j. morphol; 39 (5), 2021
SUMMARY: The effect of adduction during glenohumeral external rotation (ER) exercises on the scapulohumeral muscles is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of carrying out adduction during external rotation exercises in low and high shoulder positions on the electromyographic (...

Valoración funcional postquirúrgico en fracturas de humero diafisiario acceso anterógrado versus retrógrado

Cuad. Hosp. Clín; 62 (1), 2021
INTRODUCCIÓN: las fracturas de humero corresponden del 1% al 2% de todas las fracturas en todo el cuerpo. La fractura de la diáfisis plantea problemas radicalmente distintos de los derivados de una fractura epifisaria. El hueso esponjoso diafisario es compacto, cuya consolidación se produce a través ...
