| Destruction of the bone of the glenoid fossa of the temporomandibular joint and tegmen tympani was evident. We defined the neutral position by pressing the humeral head gently into the glenoid fossa until it sat securely in the glenoid fossa and then adjusting the position of the humeral head and shaft until both the shaft of the humerus and the elbow axis were aligned in the plane of the scapula with the shaft of the humerus remaining parallel to its medial border. That's because the jaw serves as a lever, transmitting force from a blow through the jawbone up through the glenoid fossa, a wafer thin bone that sits at the base of the brain. |
