Exam 3 Flashcards
What percentage of people have shoulder pain?
70%
Who has more shoulder issues?
Males and Females
Males are from traumatic collisions
Females are more from laxity and less muscular strength
Shoulder girdle is made up of what?
Clavicle and Scapula
What is the clavicle?
The collar bone
Only bony attachment from upper appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton
S shaped bone: Allows room for 1st rib and several arteries and veins
Several muscles attach
What is the scapula?
Site of the “true” shoulder joint
In the back but all joint movement in the front
Lots of muscle attachments
Attachment to rear thorax
Bone embedded in muscles
Where does the clavicle attach to?
Upper sternum to form the sternoclavicular joint at medial
Attaches to scapula at lateral to form the acromioclavicular (AC) joint
How common are clavicle fractures?
5% in adults
15% in children
Most common age 10-19
3 to 6 weeks for children to heal
6-12 weeks for adults to heal
What are the landmarks of the scapula?
Acromion process
Glenoid fossa
Spine
Supraspinous fossa
Infraspinous fossa
Subscapular fossa
The sternoclavicular joint is made up of what?
Clavicle and scapula
What are the movements of the sternoclavicular joint?
Anterior/posterior rotation (Mediolateral axis)
Elevation/depression & Upward/downward rotation (Anteroposterior axis)
Protraction/retraction (Superoinferior axis)
The acromioclavicular joint is made up of what?
Acromion process and clavicle
What is the acronmioclavicular joint movement and for?
Gliding movement
Allows for more ROM for shoulder abduction
What is the coracoclavicular joint made of?
Coracoid process and clavicle
What is the coracoclavicular joint movement and for?
Little to no movement
Allows for more stability
What is the scapulothoracic?
Is a articulation but not a true joint
Scapula lays on thoracic cavity but connected by muscles and ligaments
What movements does the scapulothoracic do?
Elevation/depression (mediolateral axis)
Protraction/retraction (superoinferior axis)
Medial/lateral rotation (Anteroposterior axis)
What is the true shoulder joint?
Glenohumeral joint
What is the glenohumeral joint?
Most mobile and least stable of the body
50% of all dislocations occur at shoulder w/ anterior dislocation being most common
After first dislocation, over 90% chance of another
What is the glenohumeral joint made of?
Scapula (Glenoid fossa)
Humerus
Like a golf ball on a tee
How is the glenohumeral joint held together?
Ligaments and tendons (and a labrum for more surface area)
What is a subluxation of the long head of the biceps tendon?
Long head of the biceps attach at the labrum of the shoulder
Injury: Weak scapularis and/or non-activation of rotator cuff
What is the humerus for the glenohumeral joint?
Long bone in the proximal arm
What are the landmarks of the humerus?
Head: Attachment of the glenohumeral joint
Anatomical neck: Attachment site for joint capsule
Surgical Neck: Site commonly susceptible to fractures
Tubercle and grooves: Locations for muscle attachments and nerves/blood vessels
Glenohumeral joint movements are?
All 4 planes: Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse, and Oblique
Ball and socket joint
True shoulder joint
