Description
Tao Li and co-authors map the extra bone and shoulder blade shape in children with Sprengel deformity using 3D scans. In this rare birth condition, one shoulder blade sits too high. An extra omovertebral bone is thought to block its descent.
The study enrolled children whose scans confirmed that extra bone. Three-dimensional CT reconstructions were made before surgery. The team located the bone and described its shape per child. Blade height-to-width ratios were measured on both sides. Upward shift and tilt of the bad blade were quantified. Comparisons with the healthy side sharpened the picture. The maps can help surgeons plan correction. They deepen knowledge of a little-seen condition.
