Shoulder joint traction injuries
Recumbency for long period time
Two criteria of rotator cuff muscles
Tendon of insertion contributes to cuff formation around proximal humerus

weak shoulder movements
hard to sleep on that side
possible radiation
Causes of shoulder impingement syndrome
“rotator cuff tendonitis”
Genetic, born with hooked acromion
excess stress and repetition (athletes)
calcium deposits in tendon (old ppl)
Trauma
Clinical test for rotator cuff tear
Drop test - lower the fully abducted limb slowly…then it will DROP suddenly if tendon is torn.

Stabilizes shoulder joint
Upper and Lower subscapular nerve (C5 and C6)
Teres Minor O I A2 and N

N - lower subscapular (C6)
Name the two divisions of the space between teres minor and major that is divided by the long head of triceps.
Quadrilateral space - lateral of two, axillary nerve and humeral circumflex vessels here
Triangular space - medial of two, circumflex scapular branch of subscapular artery here
What is the most stable joint of the upper extremity? What are its articulations?
Sternoclavicular joint
Sternal end of the clavicle
Clavicular notch and costal notches of the manubrium
Medial end of the first rib
The articular disc of the sternoclavicular joint is divided into two separate cavaties. What are their functions?
prevent clavicle from displacement with sternum
act as shock absorber for forces transmitted along clavicle
Sternocalvicular joint:
Classification
Capsular ligament characteristic
Plane gliding (kinda ball and socket a little)
very strong and completely surround joint
Extrinsic/extracapsular ligaments vs. intrinsic/intracapsular
Ex - superficial to capsular ligament
IN - deep to capsular ligament
What are the 4 ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint?
Anterior/Posterior Sternoclavicular
Interclavicular
Costoclavicular
Anterior/Posterior sternoclavicular characteristics
reinforce capsular ligament
prevents excessive protractions and retractions
Extrinsic acts like a wall
Interclavicular Characteristics
attached to both clavicles
prevent displacement when carrying heavy thing
extrinsic acts like a rope
Costoclavicular characteristics
strong attached to costal impression and rib 1
reinforces capsular ligament
limits elevation at medial end of clavicle
Extrinsic acts like a rope
Nerve supply and movement pf sternclavicular joint
Supraclavicular and nerve to subclavius
elevation,depression,pro/retraction and rotation passively when scap moves
Dislocation info for sternoclavicular
rarely happens cuz of strength
usually result of direct trauma to anterior aspect of sternal end clavicle. car crash or pile on football
mild sprain to complete dislocation
life threatening if compression of trachea or blood vessels in neck
Acromioclavicular joint
Articulations, Classification, Capsular lig. character
acromion process and lateral end of clavicle
plane gliding
think and week needs reinforce ligaments
What re the 3 ligaments of the A/C joint? Their nerve supply?
Superior/Inferior Acromioclavicular
Coracoclavicular
Suprascapular and axillary
Superior/Inferior Acromioclavicular ligament characteristics
Reinforce capsule
prevent clavicle from contact loss with acromion
extrinsic acts like a rope
Coracoclavicular ligament characteristics
Connects clavicle with coracoid process
divided into conoid and trapezoid portions which attach to respective clavicle locations
Suspends weight of scapula from clavicle
Extrinsic acts like a rope
Describe dislocation of the AcromioClavicular joint. (Shoulder Separation)
Often occur after severe blow to shoulder (Shoulder pointer)
when grade three, clavicle separates from scap
Lateral end of clavicle displaced and palpable
more prominent acromion
Subclavian artery may be compressed so diminished brachial pulse
Glenohumeral joint Articulation, classification, capsule character,
Head of humerus with glenoid cavity of scap
glenoid cavity much smaller so glenoid labrum
Ball and socket
thin and lax, opening inferior lateral part so long biceps passes out of cavity
Glenohumeral joint ligaments (5) and nerve supply
Glenohumeral Tranverse Humeral Coracohumeral Coracoacromial Suprascapular
axillary and suprascapular n
Glenohumeral ligament character
inside joint cavity
helps prevent lateral rotation of humerus
intrinsic acts like a rope
Transverse Humeral ligament
spans intertubercular groove
keeps long head of biceps in place
Coracohumeral Lig
limits lateral rotation of huerus
extrinsic like a rope
Coracoacromial ligament
attaches coracoid and acromion
prevents upward displacement of humerus head
extrinsic acts like a wall
Suprascapular ligament
small ligament spans the scapular notch
Dislocation of the Glenohumeral joint describe
Most common is an Anterior Dislocation at the lateral aspect of the capsular ligament
Caused by excessive extension and lateral rotation of humerus which goes through anterior part of capsular ligament and ends up below coracoid. (subcoracoid dislocation)
possible loss of sensation along lateral arm and forearm cuz musculocutaneous and axilarry nerve damage
What are the three anterior arm muscles and which nerve supplies them
Biceps Brachii
Coracobrachialis
Brachialis
Musculocutaneous nerve
What is unique about the biceps brachii?
it has no attachment to the humerus and is known as a “three joint muscle” cuz it can cause movement at the shoulder, elbow, and superior radiulnar joints.
Biceps Brachii O I A and INN
Coracoid process and Supraglenoid tubercle
tuberosity of the radius and ulna shaft
Flexion of forearm at elbow joint
Supinator of forearm
Short adducts the humerus
long abducts the humerus
Describe Biceps Tendonitis
Long head moves back and forth in the intertubercular groove
usually activities with flexion at elbow joint resistance
some individuals have rougher/narrow groove that can irritate tendon and cause cracking sound (Crepitus)
