Dioggo Lectures Flashcards
Which spot of humerus is most susceptible to breaking? Which spot almost never breaks?
Surgical neck
Head
The ___________nerve is exposed to a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus.
Axillary
All movements of the shoulder are done at which joint?
Sternoclavicular
Which ligament is important when talking about shoulder separation?
Coracolavicular ligament
3 grades of shoulder separation
- A slight displacement of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament may be stretched or partially torn (no space change)
- A partial dislocation of the joint in which the acromioclavicular ligament is completely torn, while the coracoclavicular ligaments remain intact.
* Space is 50% greater than normal - A complete separation of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament, the coracoclavicular ligaments, and the capsule surrounding the joint are torn.
6 movements of the Scapula
- Elevation

What nerve innervates rhomboid major and minor?
Dorsal scapula nerve
Rhomboid major
Origin
Insertion
Nerve
Function
Origin: Spinous process
Insertion: Medial border of the scapula
Nerve: Dorsal scapula nerve
Function: Retraction of the scapula (adduction)
Rhomboid minor
Origin
Insertion
Nerve
Function
Origin: Nucal ligaments and spinous process
Insertion: Medial border of the scapula
Nerve: Dorsal scapula nerve
Function: Retracts and rotates scapula, fixes scapula to thoracic wall
Which part of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus?
Glenoid cavity, forms glenohumoral joint
