Q

what are the three ways to orientate the clavicle

A

the surface - the upper surface is more smooth and lower is roughened
the ends - lateral is more flattened and the medial is more curved shape
the curvature the lateral third is concave and the medial 2/3 is convex

Q

describe the acromioclavicular joint

A

has an incomplete fibrocartilagenous disc, plane synovial. as the disc is incomplete the bony congruency is low, so needs ligament support

Q

describe the sternoclavicular joint

A

saddle joint of the clavicle and sternum and first costal cartilage.
complete fibrocartilage disc so its a stable joint.

Q

what are the ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint

A

anterior sternoclavicular ligament, posterior sternoclavicular ligament - these make the sternoclavicular joint capsule
theres also the interclavicular ligament and the costoclavicular joint

14
Q

whats the path of force transmission across the shoulder girdle

A

When we sustain a force at the end of our upper limb the force goes through the humerus, through the glenoid cavity into the scapula, through the coracoclavicular ligament, through the clavicle and then down into the ribs via the costoclavicular ligament.

Q

whats the glenoid fossa lined with - whats it do

16
Q

what are the ligaments of the shoulder joint

A

glenohumeral ligament, coracohumeral ligament and the transverse humeral ligament.

17
Q

the shoulder joint isnt completely stable. what helps to stabilise this joint

A

the rotator cuff muscles, the coracoacromial arch and the long head of the biceps brachii

18
Q

what makes up the coracoacromial arch

A

the scapula coracoid process and the acromium process and the coracoacromial ligament between these two surfaces.

19
Q

why is a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus problematic

A

because this is where we find the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries. also have the axillary nerve here so its painful aussi.

20
Q

what are the two points of the elbow joint

A

the humeroulnar joint - the trochlea surface of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna
humeroradial notch - capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius

21
Q

what three joints does the synovial membrane of the elbow joint contain

A

the humeroradial joint, the humeroulnar joint and the proximal radio-ulnar joint

22
Q

what are the ligaments of the elbow joint and their attachments

A

ulnar collateral ligament - medial epicondyle to the medial margin of the trochlea notch of the ulna
the radial collateral ligament - lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament

23
Q

what makes up the proximal radio-ulnar joint and what ligament holds it

A

the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulnar
held by the annular ligament

24
Q

where does the annular ligament attach

A

the posterior and anterior aspects of the radial notch on the ulna. wrapping around the radius in the process

25
Q

what makes up the distal radio-ulnar joint

A

the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch on the radius
this joint has a triangular disc

26
Q

what are the carpals

A

She Looks Too Pretty - proximal row
Try To Catch Her- distal row
She - Scaphoid. Looks - lunate. Too - Triquetrum. Pretty - Pisiform
Try - Trapezium. To - Trapezoid. Catch - Capitate. Her - Hamate.
Hamate has the hook of hamate.

27
Q

what bones make up the wrist joint

A

distal radius, the articular disc of the ulna, the scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum.

28
Q

what are the ligaments of the wrist joint

A

these ligaments make the joint capsule and they are the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments. same as elbow joint.

29
Q

what makes up the thumb joint

A

this is the 1st carpometacarpal joint. its made by the trapezium bone and the first metacarpal bone

30
Q

what makes up both the metacarpophalangeal joints and interphalangeal

A

a joint capsule which is made of the medual and lateral collateral ligaments and a palmer ligament
metacarpophalangeal joint has the deep transverse metacarpal ligament tho.
remember interphalangeal is a hinge joint and the metacarpophalangeal joint is ellipsoid
