The Lateral Deltoid Originates From the Entire Lateral Wall of the Acromion: MRI and Histologic Cadaveric Analysis Regarding Vertical Lateral Acromioplasty

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the nature of the middle deltoid muscle insertion onto the lateral acromion by macroscopic, MRI and histologic examination and to, therefore, assess the potential impact of a vertical lateral acromioplasty on the deltoid origin. Methods: We assessed the a...
