Acromion

In connection with this fracture, reference must be made to a condition frequently met with, in which the epiphysial portion of the acromion is found to be separate from the body of the process -- _separate acromion_. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)

The acromion is a bony process which protudes forwards from the upper part of the scapular. ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2009)

But this also should be known, that in fractures of the clavicle, it is the part attached to the breast which is uppermost, and that the piece attached to the acromion is the lowermost. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The acromioclavicular joint is formed by the outer end of the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapular. ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2009)

The clavicles are rounded in front, having some slight movements at the sternum, but more free at the acromion. ❋ Unknown (2007)

When the acromion is torn away, the appearance is the same as in dislocation of the shoulder; but there is no impediment, except that the bone does not return to its position. ❋ Unknown (2007)

If properly bandaged, the acromion becomes free of pain in a few days. ❋ Unknown (2007)

In most cases, after the bandages have been applied, that position is beneficial in which the elbow is fixed to the same side, and the shoulder is kept elevated; but in certain cases, the shoulder is to be raised, as has been directed, and the elbow is to be brought forward to the breast, and the hand laid on the acromion of the sound side. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The acromion, in man, arises from the scapula differently from most other animals. ❋ Unknown (2007)

In those cases where the acromion has been torn off, the bone which is thus separated appears prominent. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The clavicle admits of most motion at the joint of the shoulder, and this arises from its connection with the acromion. ❋ Unknown (2007)

And attention should be paid to the force of habit, and to the symptom produced by the tearing away of the acromion, whereby a void is left, which makes people suppose that the humerus is dislocated. ❋ Unknown (2007)

She claims Jackson violated his duty to use ordinary care for the safety of others when he operated the Pizza Hut door which caused her to sustain an acromion process impingement in her right shoulder. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Another: - Apply your head to the acromion, and your hands to the armpit, separate the head of the humerus (from the side?), and push the elbow in the opposite direction; or, instead of your knees, another person may turn aside the elbow, as formerly directed. ❋ Unknown (2007)

(The posterior thorax = the back between the neck and the abdomen; scapula = shoulder blade; acromion process = the protruberance at the top of the shoulder joint; mastoid process = the protruberance of the skull immediately behind the ear lobe; 14 centimeters — about 5 1/2 inches.) ❋ Crawford, Curtis (1966)

Words are omitted that have ambiguous or technical meanings not expressible in lay language. acromial (acromion) ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)

We can distinctly feel the _spine_ of the scapula and its highest point, the _acromion_. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

Projecting beyond the acromion (the arm hanging by the side), we can feel, through the fibers of the _deltoid_, the upper part of the humerus. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

In a patient wounded at Kamelfontein the bullet entered four inches below the acromion, pierced the deltoid, splintered the humerus, and crossed the axilla. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

I saw grooving of the crest of the spine, but never happened to meet with a fracture of the acromion process. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)
