We have seen severe contracture of shoulder joints and same of these cases were operated on after three months rehabilitation. We reported on the good results of this operation about one year ago.
A. We observed in op e ration that the rotator cuff was compressed very tightly between the coracoacromial ligament and the head of the humerus when the shoulder joint was abducted more then 80°. On the other hand, the coracoacrominal ligament is found in a different location in monkeys than in human beings.
B.38 operated shoulders and 32 monke y joints are compared and discussed. This exeperimental reseach was carried out at the Institute of Primates, Kyoto University by Dr. Matsumoto.
Conclusion
1. CALig is an embryological structure, which is not needed inz human beings because the coracoid process and scapula are used in human beings.
2. Resection of CALig for frozen shoulders shou l d be considerd as a preferable treatment.
