Dear members of biomch-l
I am a graduate student at the University of Delaware investigating
problems associated with recurrent dislocation of the shoulder and
treatment according to the Bankart-procedure and its modifications. As
part of my studies, I am interested in isometric properties of the
glenohumeral ligaments and the force distribution within this ligament
group. I am aware of a few papers investigating parts of this problem,
as listed below. However, during the literature search I was unable to
locate any information on tensile properties of the Superior GHL and the
Middle GHL, and I found only one citation for tensile properties of the
Inferior GHL. Furthermore, there seems to be no biomechanical model
describing the forces on the GHL complex as a function of humeral
location with respect to the scapula.
Any help would be very appreciated, and a summary of replies will be
posted within a couple of weeks.
Chris
