(17) In addition, they showed early costal, clavicular and scapular changes, irregularities of the acromial joints and acetabulae, hypoplasia of the inferior portion of the iliac bones and flared iliac wings.
(18) Achieving this goal using the arthroscope requires preoperative evaluation of the acromial morphology, planning of the dimensions of bony resection, a reproducible acromioplasty method with intraoperative evaluation of the adequacy of resection, and postoperative confirmation of the resulting acromial shape.
(19) The most common findings at operation were proliferative subacromial bursitis and an acromial protuberance.
(20) The distances from the acromial side of the AC joint to the lateral edge of the clavicle at its superior and inferior cortices were measured before and after surgery on anteroposterior radiographs.

(3) This approach was used in 42 shoulders with rotator cuff tears or posterior instability without complications of infection, failure of deltoid healing, or compromise of suprascapular or axillary nerves.
(4) There was a high correlation between the percentage of type I fibers and the citrate synthase activity within the vastus lateralis (r = .760) and deltoid (r = .610) (P less than 0.05) but not the gastrocnemius (r = .200).
(5) Deltoid muscle biopsy documented scattered basophilic regenerating myofibers and focal atrophic fibers with focal increases of endomysial connective tissue, small endomysial foci of inflammatory cells, and occasional perimysial, perivenular lymphocytic infiltrates.
(6) The nasal reconstruction in 8 patients and cheek reconstruction in 1 using a free flap from the deltoid region has been successfully undertaken in our department since August 1987.
(7) At least eight centimeters of the posterior aspect of the proximal region of the humeral diaphyseal cortex can be exposed through the interval between the lateral head of the triceps and the deltoid muscle.
(8) The deltoid muscles of the same patients had a rather even mixture of type I and II fibers.
(9) Two cases of winged scapulae due to fibrosis of the deltoid muscle are reported.
(10) The size of the peaks led to estimates of the underlying excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) amplitude of 5.5 mV for the deltoid and 2.2 mV for the pectoralis motor units.
