ABSTRACT
The subclavian-axillary arterial tree is responsible for the arterial supply to the rotator cuff muscles as well as other shoulder muscles. This study comprised the bilateral dissection of the shoulder and upper arm region in thirty-one adult and nineteen fetal cadaveric specimens. The variable origins and branching patterns of the axillary, subscapular, circumflex scapular, thoracodorsal, posterior circumflex humeral and suprascapular arteries identified in this study corroborated the findings of previous studies. In addition, unique variations that are unreported in the literature were also observed. The precise anatomy of the arterial distribution to the rotator cuff muscles is important to the surgeon and radiologist. It will aid proper interpretation of radiographic images and avoid injury to this area during surgical procedures.
RESUMEN
El árbol arterial subclavio-axilar, es responsable del suministro arterial de los músculos correspondientes al manguito de los músculos rotadores, así como de otros músculos del hombro. Este estudio comprende la disección bilateral del hombro y la región superior del brazo en 31 cadáveres adultos y 19 fetos. Las variables y patrones del origen, ramificación de las arterias axilar, subescapular, circunfleja escapular, toracodorsal, circunfleja humeral posterior y supraescapular, identificados en este estudio, corroboran los hallazgos de estudios anteriores. Además, se observaron variaciones únicas no comunicadas previamente en la literatura. La anatomía precisa de la distribución arterial de los músculos del manguito de los músculos rotadores es importante para el cirujano y el radiólogo. Esta información constituirá una ayuda para la adecuada interpretación de imágenes radiológicas y para evitar lesiones en esta área durante los procedimientos quirúrgicos.
