Model limitations

Pale areas illustrate tendon. Disease changes are authored examples, not patient scans. The optional labrum is an authored approximation. Degeneration examples now use local changes to the original atlas bones and cuff, not simplified replacement shapes. Thin cartilage layers are authored on the bone surfaces, not separately segmented. Version, erosion, migration and soft-tissue attachment are illustrative. The AC joint disc, capsule and glenohumeral ligaments are not shown. AC/CC ligament bands are newly authored approximations. Defect size and labral placement are illustrative; this is not a surgical planning tool.

Model source & attribution

BodyParts3D 4.0, reduced polygon dataset. Original alignment retained; infraspinatus belly locally adjusted to correct scapular overlap. Tendon colour boundaries are illustrative, not segmented anatomy. Lower arm cropped in the initial view. Disease variants, bursa, calcium deposit and spur are newly authored illustrations. The labrum, instability variants, AC/CC ligament bands and AC joint arthritis variants are newly authored illustrations. Original anatomy is retained separately. Left-sided display mirrors the complete right-sided model, including lesions and ligaments; it is not separately segmented left anatomy.
