Arthrology: ligaments Flashcards
coracoclavicular function
stabilizes AC joint
limits medial displacement, protraction, and elevation of clavicle on scapula
trapezoid ligament attachment
coracoid process to trapezoid line of clavicle
conoid ligament attachment
coracoid process to conoid tubercle of clavicle
acromioclavicular ligament function
stabilizes AC joint
acromioclavicular ligament attachments
superior aspect of acromial end of clavicle to adjacent acromion
coracoacromial ligament function
prevents superior displacement of humeral head by forming coracoacromial arch
coracoacromial ligament attachment
lateral border of coracoid process to acromion adjacent to clavicular articulation
coracohumeral ligament function
reinforces superoanterior aspect of GH joint capsule
resists inferior glide of humerus on glenoid at 0° abduction
coracohumeral ligament attachments
base of coracoid process to anterior aspect of greater tubercle
costoclavicular ligament function
stabilizes SC joint
limits elevation of clavicle
costoclavicular ligament attachments
superior aspect of first rib cartilage to undersurface of clavicle
glenoid capsule attachment
circumference of glenoid cavity to anatomical neck of humerus
GH superior ligament function
resists inferior glide of humerus at 0° abduction
resists ER at 0° and 45° abduction
GH middle ligament function
resists anterior glide of humerus on glenoid
primary restraint against ER at 45° abduction
GH inferior ligament anterior band function
primary restraint against ER at 90° abduction
resists against IR at 45° and 90° abduction
resists inferior glide of humerus on glenoid fossa at 90° abduction
GH inferior ligament posterior band function
resists against shoulder IR at all angles of abduction (0, 45, 90°)
resists inferior glide of humerus on glenoid fossa at 90° abduction
GH ligament attachment
upper part of medial margin of glenoid cavity to lesser tubercle and anatomical neck of humerus
restraints to shoulder IR 0° abduction
posterior band GH inferior ligament
restraints to shoulder IR 45° abduction
anterior and posterior band IGHLC
restraints to shoulder IR 90° abduction
anterior and posterior band IGHLC
restraints to shoulder ER 0° abduction
subscapularis (primary)
SGHL
restraints to shoulder ER 45° abduction
SGHL
MGHL
restraints to shoulder ER 90° abduction
anterior band IGHLC
restraints to shoulder inferior glide 0° abduction
SGHL
coracohumeral ligament
restraints to shoulder inferior glide 90° abduction
IGHLC
ulnar collateral ligament function
resists excessive cubital valgus
ulnar collateral ligament attachment for anterior and posterior band
medial epicondyle humerus to coronoid process and olecranon
ulnar collateral ligament attachment of transverse band
originates and inserts on ulna
ulnar collateral ligament anterior band function
taut at terminal extension
primary restraint against valgus between 20-130°
secondary restraint at end range flexion beyond 120°
ulnar collateral ligament posterior band function
taut at >55° elbow flexion
secondary restraint against valgus at lesser degrees of flexion
equal co-restraint with anterior band at terminal flexion
ulnar collateral ligament transverse band
deepns socket in trochlea; no role in elbow stability
radial collateral ligament attachment
lateral epicondyle humerus to annular ligament
radial collateral ligament function
resists excessive cubital varus
consistent tension throughout arc of flexion
primary restraint against posterolateral instability; reduces risk of radial sublux
annular ligament attachment
anterior to posterior margin of radial notch, surrounding radial head
annular ligament function (3)
1 provides 80% articular surface of humeroradial joint
#2 stabilizes radial head during rotation allowing for pronation and supination
#3 stabilizes proximal radioulnar joint
interosseous membrane of forearm function
stability between radius and ulna
demarcates anterior versus posterior structures of forearm
interosseous membrane attachment
interosseous border of radius to interosseous border of ulna
transverse carpal ligament function
transverse carpal = flexor retinaculum of wrist
prevents bowstringing of flexor tendons (flexor pollicis longus, felxor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus)
maintains carpal arch
protects median nerve
