“…This system has been used previously to study kinematics of the cervical spine, elbow, and wrist. [6][7][8][9] In the present study, we obtained MR images of the shoulder girdle in a seated position during arm abduction using a vertically open MRI. The purpose was to analyze the translation and rotational motion in the AC joint.…”

Many researchers have evaluated the motions of the shoulder girdle, especially scapular and humeral motion. However, few reports exist that describe motions of the acromioclavicular joint. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the 3D kinematics of the acromioclavicular joint during arm abduction using 3D MR images obtained by a vertically open MRI. Fourteen shoulders of seven volunteers were examined in seven static positions from 08 to the maximum abduction in a seated position. 3D surface models of the clavicle and scapula were created, and the movements of the acromioclavicular joint from 08 to each position were calculated using the volume-based registration technique. From these calculations, the translations were evaluated and the rotational motions were analyzed using the concept of the screw axis. In the anteroposterior direction, the clavicle translated most posteriorly (À1.9 AE 1.3 mm) at 908 of abduction and most anteriorly (1.6 AE 2.7 mm) at maximum abduction. In the superoinferior direction, the clavicle translated slightly superiorly (0.9 AE 1.9 mm). When analyzing relative motion of the scapula with respect to the clavicle, the scapula generally rotated about a specific screw axis passing through the insertions of both the acromioclavicular and the coracoclavicular ligaments on the coracoid process. The average rotation was 34.9 AE 8.48. ß

“…11 It has a bony geometry, articulation, and soft tissue structures, and the amount of force transmitted across the joint depends on the loading configurations and the angular orientation of the joint. 21 Our particular interest was focused on the angle between the arm and the forearm in the frontal plane, 1,2,3,7,12,20,17,23,24,27,36,31 called the carrying angle, which has an important role when carrying loads. 31 This angle is most apparent and best seen when the shoulder is externally rotated, the elbow is completely extended, and the forearm is supinated.…”

“…Recent in vivo studies have shown that there is considerable variation in the position and orientation of the normal elbow flexion axis in vivo. 4,6 Theoretically, the design of the different implants should allow a certain degree of freedom in this axis.…”
