Q

Glenohumeral joint

A
  • formed by the convex head of the humerus and the concave glenoid fossa of the scapula.
  • the GHJ is a ball and socket synovial joint with three degrees of freedom.
  • the relatively small articular surface of the glenoid fossa in relation to the size of the humeral head, makes the GHJ inherently unstable

Q

Sternoclavicular joint

A
  • formed by the medial end of the clavicle and the manubrium of the sternum. The joint is a saddle-shaped synovial joint with three degrees of freedom. A fibrocartilaginous disc between the manubrium and clavicle enhances the stability of the joint. the disc acts as a shock absorber and serves as the axis for clavicular rotation

Q

Radiocarpal Joint

A
  • The proximal joint surface of the radiocarpal joint is formed by the distal radius and the radioulnar articular disc, which connects the medial aspect of the distal radius to the distal ulna.
  • The distal joint surface is formed by the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum. The radiocarpal joint has two degrees of freedom. It is encased in a strong capsule reinforced by numerous ligament shared with the midcarpal joint

A
  • formed by a fibrous union between the lateral aspect of the distal tibia and the distal fibula
40
Q
