Shoulder & rotator cuff
Product code: HP0510
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The glenohumeral (shoulder) joint is a synovial ball and socket joint capable of a wide range of movement. Due to the shallow socket and minimal congruence between bones, it relies on passive and dynamic support from a combination of soft tissues including ligaments, muscles and fibrocartilage. This Silicone Plastinate enables the position and attachments of the muscles of the rotator cuff to be explored alongside various regional muscles.

Key features include
General
- Scapula, proximal arm, and lateral part of the clavicle.
- Focus on the rotator cuff.
- Most veins removed to provide clear views of underlying/nearby structures.
Muscles and regions
- Muscles of the shoulder and proximal arm.
- Various muscles are cut, lifted, or reflected to reveal deeper muscles and neurovascular structures.
- Scapula with related scapulohumeral muscles including the rotator cuff and deltoid.
- Deltoid reflected laterally to reveal the attachments of the rotator cuff muscles, the axillary nerve, and the coracoacromial ligament.
- Capsule of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint.
- Tendon of the long head of biceps brachii in the intertubercular sulcus (bicipital groove).
- Acromioclavicular joint and the conoid and trapezoid ligaments.
- Boundaries and neurovascular contents of key regions including the triangular space, triangular interval, and quadrangular space.
- Scapular/humeral attachments of pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and latissimus dorsi.
Neurovasculature
- Most veins removed to provide clear views of underlying/nearby structures.
- Axillary artery and its relationship with the cords and branches of the brachial plexus.
- Course, relations, and branches of the axillary nerve.
- Nerves supplying the rotator cuff.
Possible variants or pathology (not guaranteed)
- Branching patterns of vessels, nerves, and nerve plexuses.
- Position and course of vessels and nerves.
- Tortuosity of arteries.
- Arterial aneurysm and atherosclerosis.
- Positioning of the limbs.
- Orthopaedic implants.
- Osteoarthritis and disease-related joint deformity.
- Rheumatological bone and soft tissue changes.
- Morphology and position of muscles.
