| | Deltoid (Posterior) |
 | | The posterior deltoid is the primary shoulder hyperextensor, since the pectoralis major nor the latissimus dorsi does not extend the shoulder beyond anatomical position. | | | The posterior deltoid is a stronger transverse extensor (shoulder internally rotated) than transverse abductor (shoulder externally rotated). |

| | As a result, physicians in orthopaedic surgical training are not often exposed to the practical use of surgical dissection around the posterior corners of the knee. | | | Abstract: Surgical approaches to the posterior aspect of the knee are not commonly needed, and their use has become even rarer with the increasing sophistication of arthroscopic technology. | | | For certain procedures, however, greater clinical utility and decreased surgical morbidity render focused posterior exposure the preferred alternative to the classic popliteal dissection with its wide exposure of the popliteal anatomy. |

| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Posterior Knee Pain and Its Causes |
| | Posterior knee pain can arise from acute tendon strain or chronic injury resulting in tendinitis of any of the musculotendinous structures in or about the popliteal fossa. | | | Soft-tissue and tendon injuries are perhaps more common causes of posterior knee pain than are vascular, neurologic, and iatrogenic injuries, but these less common origins should not be overlooked in patients who present with posterior knee pain (table 1). | | | Knowledge of this transient phenomenon is important to the examiner evaluating patients who have postarthroscopic posterior knee pain. |

| | Ear, Nose & Throat Journal: A new method of studying the anatomy of the posterior tympanum |
| | The author's goal was not to invent a new anterior surgical approach to the posterior tympanum, but to augment Goodhill's method of anteroposterior intraoperative exposure of the posterior tympanum by developing a technique that can be used in the research laboratory to produce an expanded view of this middle ear structure. | | | Scientific research into the anatomy of the posterior tympanum is possible with this new anterior approach. | | | The focus of other investigations of the posterior tympanum has been to provide a general description of its structures and anatomy; however, detailed descriptions are sparse, and many questions remain unanswered. |

| | Posterior cervical laminectomy |
| | If a posterior laminectomy is done without a cervical fusion surgery, there is a post-operative risk of developing instability that may lead to pain and deformity. | | | The objective of this procedure is to remove the lamina (and spinous process) to give the spinal cord more room. | | | Therefore, there is a risk that a spine fusion will be needed at some point in the future. |

| | Most tumors of the posterior fossa are primary brain cancers, which originate in the brain, rather than spreading from elsewhere in the body. | | | The posterior fossa itself is a small, confined space, and any growth there can block the flow of spinal fluid and cause increased pressure on the brain and spinal cord. | | | Tumors of the posterior fossa usually require surgical removal, even if they are benign (noncancerous). |
