4 UE joints
SC, AC, GH, Scapulohumeral (needed for limb movement)
Scapulohumeral rhythym
1:2 ration of scapula to GH movement
180 deg upper limb
60 deg scap rotation
120 deg humeral action at GH joint
What is the sternal end of the clavicle?
Where does it attach?
small end goes to manubrium in the Clavicular notch
What are the 4 ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint?
- Interclavicular ligament
- Costoclavicular ligament
- Anterior sternoclavicular ligament
- Posterior sternoclavicular ligament
What is the disc between sternum and clavicle?
What is most important ligament of sternoclavicular joint?
Articular disc
costoclavicular ligament- anchors clavicle to the joint
Dislocation of sternoclavicular joint
RARE (anterior more common 9:1)
Fracture more common
What ligaments support the acromioclavicular ligament?
Medial is CONOID ligament
Middle is TRAPEZOID ligament
Lateral is CORACOACROMIAL ligament
The trapezoid ligament and the conoid ligament are collectively called the?
Coracoclavicular ligaments
What is continuous superiorly with the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii?
GLENOID LABRUM
What does the glenoid labrum do?
Where in the joint capsule is it located? where will it be pinned on a practical?
Fibrocartilage ring that deepens the glenoid cavity
-ring around the Glenoid cavity that forms the bowl
What tendons are external to the joint capsule?
Supraspinatus subscapularis infraspinatus, teres minor
GH joint capsule
has excess material inferior for upward rotations
loose fibrous capsule
What forms the Protective arch superior to GH joint
what function?
Coracoacromial ligament:
Prevents superior displacement of head of humerus from GH cavity
Stabilizes acromioclavicular joint
What maintains tendon of long head of biceps within intertubercular sulcus?
Transverse humeral ligament
What reinforces the joint capsule superiorly
Coracohumeral ligament
