pubmed:abstractText
Mechanical modelling of the musculoskeletal system is dependent upon information regarding the bony attachments of the relevant muscles; in order to study the biomechanics of the shoulder girdle the authors have identified the muscle attachments in three embalmed cadavers. A simple biplanar radiographic technique was then used to determine the attachment coordinates using frames of reference defined for each bone. This technique, using hand positioning without special fixtures was believed to be sufficiently accurate, bearing in mind the likely degree of biological variation. In order to test this assumption, the accuracy of the technique has been studied by measuring the agreement between the two measurements of the common coordinate in the pairs of radiographs. It was found that for the trunk, the errors in the common coordinate were always less than the natural variation; for the scapula they were of a similar magnitude but, for the humerus, the measurement errors frequently exceeded the variation in the coordinates of muscle attachments. It was concluded that, in general, uncalibrated biplanar radiography was sufficiently accurate for the determination of the spatial coordinates of muscle attachments.
