Exam 3: Shoulder anatomy/injury Flashcards
What are the 4 articulations that make up the shoulder complex?
- Sternoclavicular joint
- acromioclavicular joint
- glenohumeral joint
- scapulothoracic articulation
What are the primary ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint?
- articular capsule
- anterior sternoclavicular ligament
- posterior sternoclavicular ligament
- interclavicular ligament
- costoclavicular ligament - superior costal cartilage of first rib to inferior clavicle
What are the primary ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint?
- articular capsule
- acromioclavicular ligament
- coracoclavicular ligament
a. trapezoid ligament
b. conoid ligament
Key points of glenohumeral joint
- ball and socket joint
- glenoid labrum - fibrocartilagenous disc in glenoid
- designed for mobility, not stability
- stability from ligaments and muscles
Where is the glenoid labrum, and what does it do?
fibrocartilagenous disc around the margin of the glenoid that widens and deepens the cavity
What are the primary ligaments of the glenohumeral joint?
- articular cartilage
- coracohumeral ligament
- glenohumeral ligaments
- superior glenohumeral
- middle glenohumeral
- inferior glenohumeral
- posterior capsule - transverse humeral ligament - across bicipital groove to hold tendon of long head of bicep in place
What are the names and positions of the 4 glenohumeral ligaments?
- superior glenohumeral - 12-1 o’clock
- middle glenohumeral - 1-3 o’clock
- inferior glenohumeral - 3-7 o’clock
- posterior capsule - 7+
What is the break position for the supraspinatus?
