Anatomy & Pathophysiology

Bony Anatomy

• The glenoid is a convex structure of shallow depth shaped like an inverted pear [3].
• The glenoid cavity is a shallow socket, approximately one third the size of the humeral head [4].
• The subchondral bone of the glenoid is relatively flat, and the articular concavity is augmented by cartilage and a circumferential labrum [6].
• The glenoid averages 5° of retroversion in relation to the axis of the scapular body [6].
• The humeral head is spherical and has a diameter of 37 to 57 mm [3].
• The most superior portion of the articular surface of the humeral head averages 8 mm above the greater tuberosity [3].
• Humeral version averages 29.8 degrees, with a range of 10 to 55 degrees [3].
• The humeral head is inclined approximately 130 degrees with respect to the humeral shaft [3].
• The neck-shaft angle measures an average of 135 degrees [4].
• The humeral head is retroverted an average of 30 degrees [4].
• The humeral head averages 19° of retroversion and 41° of inclination (neck-shaft angle) [6].
• The bicipital groove lies between the greater tuberosity and lesser tuberosity and serves as a pathway for the long head of the biceps [3].
• The distal aspect of the bicipital groove is internally rotated with respect to the proximal portion [3].
• The anatomic neck of the proximal humerus is located at the junction of the articular surface and the tuberosities [3].
• The surgical neck represents an indistinct region (metadiaphyseal junction) below the tuberosities but above the humeral shaft [3].
• The greater tuberosity is located in a posterior-superior location with respect to the humeral shaft [3].
• The lesser tuberosity is located on the anterior aspect of the proximal humerus [3].
• The scapula is triangular when viewed anteroposteriorly, with its base situated superiorly and its apex inferiorly [5].
• The glenoid is connected with the flat body of the scapula by the scapular neck [5].
• The coracoid process curves forwards from the superior surface of the scapular neck [5].
• The scapular spine ends in a flattened bony process, the acromion, which curves forwards [5].
• The highest concentration of bony mass in the scapula is found in the glenoid, the scapular neck (including the base of the coracoid process), and the lateral border of the scapular body [5].
• Two bony pillars transmit compressive forces from the glenoid fossa: the lateral pillar and the spinal pillar [5].
• The lateral pillar connects the inferior border of the glenoid with the inferior angle [5].
• The spinal pillar arises from the central part of the glenoid and continues medially to become part of the base of the scapular spine [5].
• The weakest bone in the scapula is located primarily in the central part of the biomechanical body, specifically in the infraspinous fossa [5].
• The weakest area of the circumference of the biomechanical body of the scapula is the spinomedial angle, which is the connection of the scapular spine and the medial border of the scapula [5].
• The acromion has three ossification centers: the metacromion (base), the mesoacromion (middle), and the preacromion (tip) [6].
• The proximal humerus has three centers of ossification: the humeral head (4 to 6 months), the greater tuberosity (1 to 3 years), and the lesser tuberosity (3 to 5 years) [6].
• The ossification centers of the proximal humerus fuse to the shaft at age 17 to 20 years [6].

Soft Tissue & Ligaments

• The greater tuberosity serves as the attachment site for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor tendons of the rotator cuff [3].
• The lesser tuberosity serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis tendon [3].
• The rotator cuff consists of four muscles: the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor [4].
• The teres major is not a rotator cuff muscle [4].
• The rotator cuff muscles serve as depressors of the humeral head to allow the deltoid to efficiently abduct the humerus [4].
• The infraspinatus and teres minor are external rotators, while the subscapularis is an internal rotator of the humerus [4].
• The acromion, the coracoacromial ligament, and the coracoid process form the coracoacromial arch [3].
• The coracoacromial arch is a rigid bony-ligamentous structure that imparts stability to the shoulder girdle [3].
• The rotator cuff, subacromial bursa, and subdeltoid bursa pass underneath the coracoacromial arch [3].
• The glenoid labrum provides concavity and up to 50% of marginal glenoid socket depth [6].
• The rotator interval is defined medially by the base of the coracoid, superiorly by the supraspinatus tendon, and inferiorly by the subscapularis tendon [6].
• The rotator interval contains the coracohumeral ligament, the superior glenohumeral ligament, and the intra-articular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon [6].
• The coracohumeral ligament restricts external rotation in adduction and is a static restraint to inferior and posterior translation in adduction and external rotation [6].
• The superior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior translation with the arm at the side [6].
• The superior glenohumeral ligament, along with the coracohumeral ligament, forms a pulley that provides restraint against medial subluxation of the long head of the biceps tendon [6].
• The middle glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior translation with the arm in external rotation and 45° of abduction [6].
• The anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior-inferior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in 90° of abduction and external rotation [6].
• The posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against posterior-inferior translation in internal rotation and adduction [6].
• The superior transverse scapular ligament arises from the medial base of the coracoid overlying the suprascapular notch [6].
• The suprascapular artery runs superior to the superior transverse scapular ligament, while the nerve runs deep to it [6].
• Entrapment of the suprascapular nerve at the superior transverse scapular ligament causes denervation of both the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus [6].
• The spinoglenoid ligament overlies the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch [6].
• Entrapment, traction, or compression of the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch causes denervation of the infraspinatus [6].
• The subscapular bursa lies between the subscapularis tendon and the neck of the scapula [7].
• The subscapular bursa communicates with the joint cavity between the superior and middle glenohumeral ligaments [7].
• The subscapular bursa protects the tendon of the subscapularis at the point where it passes under the base of the coracoid process and over the neck of the scapula [7].
• The subscapular bursa is linked to the coracoid process by a suspensory ligament [7].
• In 28% of specimens dissected by Colas and colleagues, the subscapular bursae merged with the subcoracoid bursae, forming a unique wide bursa [7].
• The subscapular bursa often houses loose bodies in the shoulder [7].
• The subscapular bursa is a region in which synovitis of the shoulder may be most intense [7].
• A soft tissue sheath consistently covers the long head of the biceps tendon to the level of the proximal margin of the pectoralis major tendon [7].
• The fibro-osseous bicipital tunnel consists of three distinct anatomic zones: Zone 1 (bony groove), Zone 2 ("no man's land"), and Zone 3 (subpectoral region) [7].
• Zone 1 of the bicipital tunnel represents the traditional bony bicipital groove beginning at the articular margin and ending at the distal margin of the subscapularis tendon [7].
• Zone 2 of the bicipital tunnel extends from the distal margin of the subscapularis tendon to the proximal margin of the pectoralis major tendon [7].
• Zone 3 of the bicipital tunnel is distal to the proximal margin of the pectoralis major tendon and represents the subpectoral region [7].

Vascular Supply

• The proximal humerus receives its blood supply from the anterior and posterior humeral circumflex branches from the third division of the axillary artery [3].
• The posterior humeral circumflex artery travels with the axillary nerve, enters the quadrilateral space posteriorly, and anastomoses with a branch of the anterior circumflex to supply the posterior cuff [3].
• The anterior humeral circumflex artery arises from the axillary artery at the inferior border of the subscapularis [3].
• The anterior humeral circumflex artery provides vascular inflow to the humeral head by way of its terminal anterolateral branch known as the artery of Laing (also known as the arcuate artery) [3].
• The ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery courses parallel to the lateral aspect of the long head biceps tendon and enters the humeral head at the interface of the bicipital groove and greater tuberosity [3].
• Injury to the arcuate artery may result in osteonecrosis of the humeral head [3].
• Additional extraosseous collateral branches can permit humeral head perfusion despite complete ligation of the arcuate artery [3].
• The major blood supply to the humeral head is through the ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery, which penetrates the head at the bicipital groove and becomes the arcuate artery [4].
• The anterolateral ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery provides the primary blood supply to the humeral head [6].
• The anterolateral ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery travels proximally in the lateral aspect of the intertubercular groove [6].
• The terminal intraosseous portion of the anterior humeral circumflex artery enters at the proximal aspect of the intertubercular groove as the arcuate artery [6].
• Fractures of the anatomic neck have a poor prognosis because of complete disruption of the blood supply to the head [4].
• Surgical neck fractures are common, and with these, the blood supply to the head is preserved [4].

Biomechanics & Pathophysiology

• Stability and function of the glenohumeral joint is provided by the interaction of the glenohumeral joint that promote a near global range of motion and purposeful function [3].
• External loads transferred to the shoulder girdle are initially offset by joint surface anatomy, joint volume, atmospheric pressure, and joint fluid cohesion and adhesion [3].
• Moderate and large loads are counterbalanced by the deltoid and rotator cuff and by the capsulolabral and bone structures, respectively [3].
• Normal shoulder motion is approximately two-thirds glenohumeral and one third scapulothoracic [6].
• The superior shoulder suspensory complex provides a stable connection between the scapula and the axial skeleton [6].
• The superior shoulder suspensory complex is composed of the glenoid, the coracoid process, the coracoclavicular ligaments, the distal clavicle, the acromioclavicular joint, and the acromion [6].
• The superior strut of the superior shoulder suspensory complex comprises the middle clavicle [6].
• The inferior strut of the superior shoulder suspensory complex comprises the lateral scapular border/spine of the scapula [6].
• The sternoclavicular joint is the only true diarthrodial articulation between the upper appendicular and axial skeletons [6].
• The posterior sternoclavicular joint capsule and ligaments are the primary stabilizers to anterior and posterior translation of the medial clavicle [6].
• The acromioclavicular joint is a small diarthrodial joint with an interposed fibrocartilaginous disk [6].
• The superior and posterior acromioclavicular ligaments are the primary stabilizers to anterior and posterior (horizontal) translation of the clavicle [6].
• The coracoclavicular ligaments (conoid: medial; trapezoid: lateral) are the primary stabilizers to superior (vertical) translation of the distal clavicle [6].
• Dynamic stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint include the rotator cuff, which stabilizes the joint via joint compression [6].
• Static stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint include articular congruity, the glenoid labrum, concavity-compression, negative intra-articular pressure, and the glenohumeral capsule and ligaments [6].
• Laxity of the rotator interval results in inferior laxity (the sulcus sign) [6].
• Contracture of the rotator interval is seen with adhesive capsulitis [6].
• The malcentering of the joint reaction force on the glenoid leads to posterior instability, posterior glenoid wear, and "rocking horse" loosening of prosthetic glenoid components [2].

Investigations

Radiographic Evaluation

• The purpose of shoulder imaging is to help establish the diagnosis, determine the severity of pathoanatomy, assist in surgical planning, and enable the surgeon to illustrate the condition of the shoulder to the patient [2].
• Unless a specific research protocol is in place, the temptation to “overimage” should be resisted by obtaining only the scans or reconstructions necessary for patient care [2].
• CT scans may offer increased precision in measuring glenoid version, but this precision does not necessarily improve the quality of surgery or clinical outcome [2].
• Standardized plain films are almost always sufficient to garner the information needed for care [2].
• Proper radiographic technique is as important as proper surgical technique to achieve the desired outcome [2].
• The first key radiographic view is the anteroposterior (AP) view in the plane of the scapula, taken so that the x-ray beam passes through the glenohumeral joint [2].
• The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the superoinferior position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid, presence of osteophytes, narrowing of the joint space, degree of medial displacement of the humerus, quality of bone, presence of loose bodies, and humeral head collapse or deformity [2].
• The second key radiographic view is the axillary view taken with the arm in the functional position of elevation in the plane of the scapula [2].
• The axillary view is oriented so that both the spinoglenoid notch and the scapular neck are visible [2].
• The axillary view demonstrates glenohumeral relationships in the functional position of elevation, referred to as the “truth view” [2].
• CT scans have the disadvantage of being taken with the arm in the adducted position, whereas the axillary truth view is taken in elevation [2].
• Many “axillary views” sent for consultation are taken without standardization, making it impossible to determine important features of the glenohumeral joint [2].
• When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate cartilage space thickness, relative positions of the humeral head and glenoid, presence of osteophytes, degree of osteopenia, and extent of bony deformity and erosion [2].
• Joint space narrowing is most evident on the axillary truth view as opposed to images made with the arm at the side [2].
• The standardized axillary view can show posterior subluxation or “functional decentering” that is not evident in images taken with the arm at the side [2].
• The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured by the position of the center of the humeral head in relation to the plane of the scapula [2].
• The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured by the position of the center of the humeral head in relation to the glenoid face [2].
• The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured by the point of contact of the humeral articular surface on the glenoid articular surface [2].
• The point of contact of the humeral articular surface on the glenoid articular surface reflects the degree of centering of the net humeral joint reaction force on the glenoid [2].
• Malcentering of the joint reaction force leads to posterior instability, posterior glenoid wear, and “rocking horse” loosening of prosthetic glenoid components [2].
• At least two X-ray views should be obtained: an anteroposterior in the plane of the glenoid and an axillary projection with the arm in abduction [11].
• The axillary projection with the arm in abduction shows the relationship of the humeral head to the glenoid [11].
• Three-dimensional reconstructions can reveal fine details of shoulder anatomy, but this additional information rarely changes the planning or conduct of arthroplasty [2].

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to identify osteonecrosis of the humeral head or a bone tumour [11].
• MRI can identify labral tears and rotator cuff tears [11].
• The accuracy of MRI for identifying labral tears and rotator cuff tears is enhanced by combining the scan with arthrography [11].

Computed Tomography

• Computed tomography (CT) is helpful for planning fracture surgery and shoulder joint replacement [11].

Ultrasonography

• Ultrasonography is a simple and accurate test for identifying rotator cuff tears and calcific tendinitis [11].
• Ultrasonography can be useful in guiding injections or barbotage (aspirating calcific deposits in the rotator cuff) [11].
• The most commonly performed joint examination using ultrasonography is the shoulder examination [9].
• The accuracy of rotator cuff ultrasonography depends on the skill of the scanner operator and an awareness of pitfalls encountered [9].

General Imaging Principles

• The shoulder is a three-dimensional structure that cannot be represented by a single planar view [13].
• Critical relationships, such as the degree of centering of the humeral head, change with the position of the arm [13].
• Shoulder pathology may be found in a large number of different bones and soft tissues [13].
• Overlying and superimposed structures as well as metallic implants may complicate imaging the structures of interest [13].
• Surgeons need to develop a judicious approach to imaging that yields necessary information while avoiding the tendency to "over-image" [13].
