Clinical Anatomy Flashcards
What are the 2 joints that make up the shoulder
glenohumeral and acromioclavicular
What structures stabilise the shouler joint?
capulse; rotator cuff and otehr muscles, labrum
What can cause impingement?
tendonitis; cuff tear; subacromial bursitis; osteophytes from AC joint
Where does a rotator cuff tend to occur?
in the supraspinatus tendon and then travels either anteriorly or posteriorly
What can occur if there is recurrent anterior discolation and the labrum commonly detaches?
Bankart lesions- which is a pocket that is created that the humerus can dislocate into
What is the nerve most commonly compromised with anterior shoulder dislocation?
axillary
What space does the axillary nerve travel through?
the quadrangular space
What are the boundaries of the quadrangular space?
superior- teres minor
inferior- teres major
medial- nck of humrus
lateral- long head of triceps
What is adhesive capsulitis better known as?
frozen shoulder
What symptoms does frozen shoulder present with?
global loss of ROM - ESPECIALLY ER
What nerve supplies sensation to the lateral forearm?
musculocutaneous
What nerve is susceptible to injury in humeral shaft fractures?
radial nerve
What is seen when there is damage to the radial nerve?
wrist drop
What are the 2 joints at the elbow?
humero-ulnar joint
radio-capitellar joint
Where does the common extensor tendon originate?
lateral epicondyle
Where does the common flexor tendon originate?
medial epicondyle
What is at risk of injury in a supracondylar fracture?
brachial artery and median nerve
