1. Shoulder Flashcards
is the coracoid more anterior or posterior than the acromion
more anterior
what aspect of the scapula is the spine located on
posterior
what are the 3 fossae on the scapula
supraspinous
infraspinous
subscapular
the suprascapular notch is created by what
the passage of a nerve or vessel
the lateral clavicle joins the ____
the medial clavicle joins the ___
lateral = acromion
medial = manubrium of sternum
the humeral head allows high/low mobility and high/low stability
high mobility
low stability
which tubercle of the greater or lesser is more anterior
lesser tubercle
the glenoid labrum is found where and what is it made of
its found around the glenoid fossa
its made of fibrocartilage
where are the anatomical and surgical necks of the humerus
the anatomical neck is just distal to the humeral head
the surgical neck is lower down and is located distal to the tubercles
which neck of the humerus is more likely to fracture
surgical
what runs in the intertubercular groove
tendon of the long head of bicep brachii
where does the tendon of the long head of bicep brachii attach to on the scapula
supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
what are the 2 parts of the shoulder joint that enclose the articular cartilage of the joint and what are they made of
outer fibrous capsule
inner synovial membrane
do ligaments passively/actively stabilise joints
passively
muscles actively stabilise joints
why does the shoulder capsule sag inferiorly
to facilitate a larger range of motion and laxity
especially abduction
what does the transverse humeral ligament do
holds the tendon of the long head of brachii in place in the intertubercular groove
what are the 2 discrete extracapsular ligaments
acromioclavicualr and coracoclavicular
what happens if the transverse humeral ligament ruptures
long head of bicep tendon subluxes anteriorly
the long head bicep brachii tendon is what in terns of capsular and synovial
intracapsular and extrasynovial
what other structures in the body are intracapsular and extrasynovial
cruciate ligaments in the knee
elbow and knee joint fat pads
what other structure does the long head of bicep brachii tendon attach to in the shoulder
glenoid labrum
the bicep long head tendon has its own synovial sheath true or false
true
the bursa between the acromion and the supraspinatus is called what
subacromial bursa
what bursa is between the subscapularis muscle and the capsule
what is this bursa often continuous with
subtendinous bursa of subscapularis
continuous with the joint space
what would you see in the sheaths and bursae if you suspect shoulder pathology
inflammation and increased fluid quantity
degradation and loss of fucntion
what are the medial and lateral aspects of the coracoclavicular ligaments called
conoid = medial
trapezoid = lateral
what is the purpose of bursae
to decrease friction
