final- Shoulder Flashcards
What 4 joints contribute to the shoulder complex?
What are other contributors?
Glenohumoral
Acromioclavicular
Sternoclavicular
Scapulocostal
- costosternal
- costochonral
- costotransverse
- costovertebral
- suprahumeral
- Cox, Tex, Lx intervertebral
What is the most complex joint in the body?
Glenohumoral
Which joint has the greatest freedom range
Glenohumoral (ball and socket)
What are the 7 major movements of the glenohumoral joint?
- Flexion
- Extension
- Adduction
- Abduction
- Internal Rotation
- External Rotation
- Circumduction
What makes the glenoid fossa less stable? 3
- shallow
- much smaller than the humeral head
- anteverted (tilted slightly anterior)
What is the lip of the glenoid labrum composed of? What % of depth does it account for?
Fibrocartilage
50%
The tendon of the long head of the biceps attaches to which part of the glenoid labrum? What also attaches there?
- Superior part
- rotator cuff
What is a SLAP lesion?
- superior labrum anterior-posterior lesion
- often due to repetitive use
What is Bankart lesion?
- anterior-inferior detachment
- Often due to dislocation
Which is more common, SLAP or Bankart?
SLAP
What are the 4 common causes of labral damage?
- repetitive overuse (SLAP)
- hypermobility
- instability
- dislocation (Bankart)
The humeral head faces _________ and _______. It is retroverted __degrees?
Medially and superiorly
30 degrees
Is the joint capsule (strong/weak) for the following:
- anteriorly
- inferiorly
- posteriorly
- strong
- strong
- weak
What are the 4 major ligaments of the anterior capsule? What is their function
- coracohumeral
- superior GH
- middle GH
- inferior GH
- maintain a (-) intra-articular pressure and help resist external rotation and extension (throwing/reaching back) (i.e. anterior translation of the shoulder)
Which anterior capsule ligament is the most important with arm abducted >90 degrees?
Inferior GH
What does the coracoid-humeral ligament resist?
Distraction and inferior translation
What does the superior GH ligament resist?
Main restraint to discretion and external rotation
What does the middle GH ligament resist?
Distraction and external rotation
- especially with arm abducted 45-60 degrees
What does the inferior GH ligament resist?
- resists Inferior glide and P-A translation
* Most important ligament with arm abducted >90 degrees
What do the axillary folds resist?
Increased laxity = (increased/decreased) dislocations
Decreased laxity = (increased/decreased) TOM
-extremes of internal and external rotation
- increased dislocation
- decreased ROM (adhesive capsulitis)
What are the primary stabilizers? 3
- coracoid-humeral ligament
- superior GH ligament
- tendon of the supraspinatus
All three result in a compressive locking force into the glenoid fossa
What are the secondary stabilizers?
Rotator cuff
What are the most vulnerable positions to dislocation?
- abduction and external rotation with a P-A force
OR
- falling on outstretched hand (FOOSH) injury
Most dislocations are (anterior/posterior)
Anterior
What are the 4 rotator cuff muscles?
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- subscapularis
What are the two regions of the capsule not covered by the cuff?
- inferior portion
- rotator interval
Which tendons is the rotator interval between?
supraspinatus and subscapularis
*common site for anterior dislocation
