Anatomy Flashcards
Long term nerve compression at the spinoglenoid notch results in
Infraspinatus atrophy
Degree of retroversion of glenoid
5 degrees
First bone in body to ossify and last to fuse.
Clavicle
When does the clavicle start to ossify? Fuse?
5 weeks AOG. 25 years
Most common musculoskeletal birth injury
Clavicular fracture
Important for superoanterior restraint in rotator cuff deficiencies. Should be preserved during debridement of painful massive rotator cuff tears that cannot be surgically repaired
Coracoacromial ligament
Shoulder internal rotators
Pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, subscapularis
Shoulder external rotators
Teres minor, infraspinatus
Attachment of rotator cuff muscles
Greater tuberosity (except subscapularis)
Why are posterior shoulder dislocations more common?
Shoulder internal rotators are stronger than external rotators
Describe anatomy of the brachial plexus
See Miller p147, Netter p 98
Muscle innervation of rotator cuff muscles
C5 and C6 of brachial plexus
Preganglionic brachial plexus lesions produce what deformity?
Medial scapular winging
Medial scapular winging, produced by preganglionic brachial plexus lesions, are caused by?
Paralysis of long thoracic nerve -> serratus anterior dysfunction
Spinal accessory nerve injury causes?
Trapezius dysfunction and scapular trapezius winging (lateral winging)
Trapezius dysfunction and scapular trapezius winging (lateral winging) is caused by
Spinal accessory nerve injury
Long thoracic nerve injury (c5-c7) causes
Serratus anterior dysfunction. Medial scapular winging.
Serratus anterior dysfunction, Medial scapular winging is caused by injury to?
Long thoracic nerve
