Let's talk about a variation that occurs in about 1%-2%
0:03
of the population called the Buford Complex or
0:06
Buford Variation, which means I'm going to ignore the
0:09
joint fluid, I'm going to ignore the subacromial arch
0:12
impingement, the peritendinitis, the small partial thickness
0:16
concealed tear of the footprint, I'm even going to ignore
0:20
the plastic deformation of the infraposteure recess of
0:24
the shoulder as a sign of chronic micro instability.
0:29
And I'm going to focus on this.
0:30
A large triangular pseudomass that looks like
0:34
a piece of labrum that's avulsed with a big
0:37
cavernous space between it and the glenoid.
0:40
That cavernous space is a normal sulcus where the
0:43
patient doesn't have an anterosuperior labrum.
0:49
Rather, the labrum is replaced by a large
0:52
cord like structure that is made up of a
0:55
short stubby SGHL and a large cord like MGHL.
1:01
And here it is in the coronal projection.
1:02
Let's go right to it.
1:04
Look at that thick, vertically descending MGHL.
1:09
You know from prior discussions,
1:11
the MGHL can go up and down.
1:13
It can go obliquely, forming a Z shape with the
1:17
superior glenohumeral ligament, the oblique MGHL,
1:21
and the IGHL, or it can be completely horizontal.
1:25
It's often variable and perforated.
1:27
But this one continues on down
1:28
as a very thick, vertical line.
1:30
Pseudomass like chord structure with an intervening
1:34
space between, not to be confused with a labral tear.
1:37
As we get down lower, that space will close.
1:41
And indeed, it does.
1:43
It usually closes by the time we reach the inferior third.
1:47
And now it looks like a beautiful, smooth, black triangle.
1:52
We'll ignore, for now, any changes in
1:55
the posterior labrum, which are scant.
1:57
We'll also ignore these.
1:59
linear or laminar tears in the biceps long head
2:02
with the synovitic proliferation around them.
2:05
But we won't ignore this thick, large MGHL or cord like
2:10
MGHL descending from our triangular pseudomass that
2:15
has the SGHL emanating from it right there, the MGHL
2:19
coming straight down, and a sulcus between it and the
2:24
underlying glenoid cup, the so called Buford complex.
