Old Subcoracoid Dislocations With The Formation Of A New Articular Surface On The Scapula And Wearing Away Of The Humerus

Illustration from 'Atlas and Epitome of Traumatic Fractures and Dislocations' (by Dr. H. Helferich), 1902. Fig 2 Anterior view of the scapula as in figure 1. The humerus has been rotated through about 180 degrees bringing into view its posterior surface which is turned toward the scapula. On the scapula we see the glenoid fossa from the side hence it appears greatly shortened. Its anterior border is much diminished by the wearing away of the bone and is joined at this point by the new articular surface surrounded by a somewhat irregular wall of bone. The humerus also shows depression due attrition with the edge of the glenoid fossa and at.. (Photo by VintageMedStock/Getty Images)
