| Among the 1,080 scapulae Gray found 214 acromial processes that he classified as quadrangular. |
|
| The acromial epiphysis can be identified in isolation from mid to late puberty. |
|
| However, it must be noted that all os acromiales and acromial fractures healed completely. |
|
| Our study showed that this technique gives good results when used to treat acromial fractures. |
|
| Acute displaced symptomatic fractures distal to the acromial angle can be successfully treated with Kirschner wire and tension band wiring. |
|
| The anterior margin is started at the acromioclavicular joint, and continued distally for 2-3 cm only, to protect any anterior blood supply to the flap by the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery. |
|
| When X-rays are done, they will reveal most of the time a reduced space between the acromion and the humeral head, and often the presence of an acromial beak. |
|
| There are normally 3 acromial ossification centers that fuse between 22 and 25 years of age. |
|
| Hemostasis should be achieved because the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery travels in proximity to the CA ligament. |
|
| This may occur as the result of malunion following acromial or humeral greater tuberosity fractures or from osteophytes which project into the subacromial space. |
