What's the difference between coracoid and epicoracoid?
Coracoid
Definition:
(a.) Shaped like a crow's beak.
(a.) Pertaining to a bone of the shoulder girdle in most birds, reptiles, and amphibians, which is reduced to a process of the scapula in most mammals.
(n.) The coracoid bone or process.
Example Sentences:
(1) One hundred and seventeen shoulders in 113 patients were treated surgically for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the Latarjet procedure - transplantation of the coracoid process to the anterior border of the glenoid fossa.
(2) The eleven fractures of the acromiom, glenoid, or coracoid process resulted in loss of motion in ten of the eleven shoulders.
(3) Such subcoracoid impingement is relieved by resection of the inferolateral part of the coracoid tip and of the coracoacromial ligament.
(4) The thirty-eight fractures involving only the body, neck, or spine of thirty scapulae (without involvement of the acromion, glenoid, or coracoid process) were successfully treated with a sling and early active motion.
(5) The surgical treatment consists of fixation of the clavicula to the coracoid with screw figure-of-eight suture and suture or plastic of the ligament.
(6) The neurovascular bundle may be compressed at multiple sites: costoclavicular space, interscalene triangle, insertion of the pectoralis minor into the coracoid process.
(7) When a fracture of the coracoid process is identified by clinical examination and X-rays, one should always be aware of a possible acromioclavicular dislocation.
(8) Subcoracoid impingement appeared particularly likely during forward flexion of a shoulder with a coracoid tip close to the scapular neck and projecting far laterally.
(9) After healing of the acromioclavicular separation and the coracoid fracture the left shoulder was asymptomatic with a full range of motion.
(10) A patient with a fractured coracoid process in association with a dislocation of the shoulder is reported.
(11) Neurovascular bundle in the upper limbs may be compressed at the costo-clavicular space, interscalene triangle or at the insertion of the minor pectoralis muscle into the coracoid process.
(12) This paper describes a fracture of the scapula, extending around the coracoid process and through the glenoid cavity.
(13) 386), the cranial part of the muscular arch of the axilla (Cpa) was extended to the coracoid process by a tendon and attached to the abdominal part of the pectoralis major by two muscle bundles supplied by independent branches from Npc.
(14) Seventeen patients with complete separation of the acromioclavicular joint were operated on acutely with transposition of the coracoid tip to the clavicle.
(15) Most characteristic malformations of this syndrome were shown to include coracoid nose and hypertelorism, coloboma of the eyes, hypospadia, aplasia, hypoplasia and polycystosis of the kidneys, dystopia and dysplasia of the cerebellar gyri, shortening of H2 field of the Ammon's horn with imparied orientation of its neurons, sacral sinus, and retarded bone maturation.
(16) Subsets of the thoracic outlet compression syndrome were then codified; costoclavicular compression; compression under the coracoid process during hyperabduction; primary symptoms related to arterial compression; and the syndrome that appears when neural and arterial compression are absent but venous occlusion is present.
(17) With their typical echo, the head of the humerus and the coracoid-process facilitate the orientation.
(18) If coracoid mobilization is necessary, the musculocutaneous nerve and its twigs should be identified and protected, keeping in mind the variations in anatomy and the level of penetration.
(19) Complete acromioclavicular dislocation associated with fracture separation of the base of the coracoid process is uncommon.
(20) The reason for failure was excessively proximal attachment of the coracoid transplant in one case, while an objective diagnosis of multidirectional instability by reference to the autotraction test and stress roentgenograms was reached in the other three.
Epicoracoid
Definition:
(n.) A ventral cartilaginous or bony element of the coracoid in the shoulder girdle of some vertebrates.
Example Sentences:
(1) Suprasternal bone is now considered to have derived from the persistent rudiment of epicoracoid which should have normally consisted of the part of manubrium sterni.
