Selective Glenohumeral external rotation deficit - sequelae of post-ORIF deltoid adhesions after treatment of the proximal humerus fracture.
Michał WaszczykowskiJarosław FabiśPublished in: BMC musculoskeletal disorders (2020)
Our findings are the first to highlight the influence of deltoid muscle, plate, and humerus adhesions on limiting external rotation in adduction after ORIF treatment of proximal humerus fractures. These observations allow the identification of a new shoulder evaluation symptom: Selective Glenohumeral External Rotation Deficit (SGERD) as well as functional deltohumeral space.
