Previous studies reported a presumably unusual bony attachment of the pectoralis minor muscle. However, less attention has been given to the insertion of the continuation to the glenohumeral joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of this abnormal insertion of the pectoralis minor muscle, and also to investigate the relation between this continuation and the capsule. 81 anatomic specimen shoulders from 41 cadavers were dissected. The insertion of the pectoralis minor tendon to the glenohumeral joint was carefully investigated. The pectoralis minor tendon ran beyond the coracoid process and extended to the superior portion of the glenohumeral joint in 28 out of 81 specimens (34.6%). The continuing insertion divided the coracoacrominal ligaments into two limbs. The continuation was more variable, and consisted of the whole tendon in 6, the middle part in 5, the lateral part in 15, and the medial part in 2 specimens. Furthermore, the pectoralis minor tendon inserted to the posterosuperior border of the glenoid in 6, to the greater tuberosity in 7, and both to the glenoid and the greater tuberosity in 15 specimens. The prevalence of the anomalous insertion of the pectoralis minor tendon revealed to be as high as 34.6% in the present study. This may suggest that the pectoralis minor tendon plays an important role in the stability of the glenohumeral joint.

The purpose of this study was to examine the anatomy of the infraspinatus including the orientation of muscle fibers and the insertion to the greater tuberosity. Ninety-three shoulders from 52 cadavers were minutely dissected. After resection of the acromion and removal of the coracohumeral ligament, the infraspinatus muscle was carefully investigated macroscopically. After the orientation of muscle fibers was confirmed, the muscle was peeled from the proximal part to the distal part and the insertion of the infraspinatus tendon was examined. In 4 shoulders, muscle fibers were completely removed in water and the direction and insertion of the tendon were examined. The infraspinatus muscle originated both from the inferior surface of the spine of the scapula and the infraspinatus fossa, and inserted to the greater tuberosity. The muscle fibers originated from the spine were running dorsally and horizontally to the greater tuberosity. On the other hand, the fibers from the fossa were running ventrally and diagonally to the greater tuberosity. These fibers were merged at the insertion. The infraspinatus tendon had vast insertion to the greater tuberosity, and the most anterior part of the tendon was inserted to the most anterior portion of the greater tuberosity, bordering on the most anterior part of the supraspinatus tendon. The supraspinatus tendon is regarded as the most affected tendon in rotator cuff tears. However, the results of this study suggested that the infraspinatus tendon could be involved in the majority of rotator cuff tears. The infraspinatus may act not only in external rotation but also in abduction, because the infraspinatus tendon was inserted to the most anterior part of the greater tuberosity.

It is generally believed that the supraspinatus tendon plays an important role in the shoulder function. However, precise anatomy of the supraspinatus tendon has not been well described. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the supraspinatus tendon. 57 cadavers (103 shoulders) were used for this study. The clavicle and humerus were cut off at their proximal parts. After resection of the acromion, the coracohumeral ligament was carefully removed. In some specimens, the infraspinatus was completely removed from the humerus to observe the overlapping portion of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. The supraspinatus muscle and its origin were carefully investigated macroscopically. In 4 shoulders, muscle fibers were completely removed to examine the direction and insertion of the supraspinatus tendon in detail. The supraspinatus muscle fibers originated from the spine of the scapula and the supraspinatus fossa, and they were running toward and attached to the thickest tendinous portion, which was located at the anterior part of the supraspinatus muscle. This tendinous portion was strongly attached to the most anterior portion of the greater tuberosity adjacent to the bicipital groove or at the lesser tuberosity (21.3%). Another part of the supraspinatus, which was located posteriorly, was attached to the greater tuberosity adjacent to the articular cartilage as a thin membrane. The insertion of the supraspinatus tendon revealed to be the most anterior portion of the greater tuberosity and the lesser tuberosity. These results suggested that the supraspinatus tendon worked more efficiently as an abductor of the shoulder joint with the arm externally rotated than internal rotation.

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide valuable information regarding the microstructure of tissues by monitoring the random movement of water molecules. The diffusion data can be used for determination of quantitative diffusion values such as the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate rotator cuff muscle activity using DWI.Methods: DWI was performed before and after loaded on empty can test and full can test and compared before and after those tests.Results: ADC of supraspinatus, infraspinatus and superior portion of subscapularis were increased after empty can test. ADC of supraspinatus, superior portion of infraspinatus and superior portion of subscapularis were increased after full can test. Anatomical study showed that the infraspinatus had contributed in shoulder abduction in shoulder internal rotation.Discussion: This study showed the agreement with the anatomy of the previous study, an increase of ADC in supraspinatus and infraspinatus in empty can test and an increase of ADC in supraspinatus mainly in full can test. There were possibilities that DWI could evaluate the activity of rotator cuff muscle.

近年,肝臓等で報告があるIDEAL法は脂肪と水を分離して描出でき,定量評価可能なMRI撮像法である.本研究の目的は,IDEAL法,単純T2強調像,単純CT像からの腱板筋脂肪変性を比較し,大・広範囲腱板断裂の一次修復の可否を検討することである.IDEAL法を撮像した47例50肩を対象とした.IDEAL法では,斜位矢状断で各腱板筋にROIを設定し,In Phase,Fat Imageの信号値から脂肪を定量した.同撮像面で単純T2強調像,単純CT像から腱板筋脂肪変性の割合を算出した.IDEAL法と単純T2強調傍矢状断像から分類したGoutallier分類は解離し,単純T2強調像での脂肪変性評価はIDEAL法に比較し過小評価する傾向を認めた.また,大・広範囲腱板断裂の一次修復不能群ではIDEAL法での棘上筋実質部成分・棘下筋の脂肪含有率と単純T2強調像での棘下筋の脂肪含有率が有意に高値で,一次修復可否の判断材料となり得た.
