Joints Flashcards
what type of joint is sternoclavicular
synovial and saddle
what are the articular elements of the sternoclavicular joint
manubrium, costal cartilage of 1st rib, sternal end of clavicle
ligaments of sternoclavicular joint
articular capsule, anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments, interclavicular and costoclavicular
what is the special feature of the sternoclavicular joint
fibrocartilaginous articular disk to cushion clavicle on sternum to prevent upward and medial dislocation
what is the arterial supply of the sternoclavicular joint
branches from internal thoracic a, suprascap a (subclavian a), highest thoracic a, clavicular branch of thoracoacromial a (axillary a)
nerve supply of sternoclavicular joint
medial supraclavicular nerves (C3C4)
nerve to subclavius (C5C6)
joint type of acromioclavicular joint
synovial, plane (gliding)
what are the articular elements of the acromioclavicular joints
acromion process of scapula
lateral ends of clavicle
special feature of acromioclavicular joint
incomplete wedge shaped disk superior to capsule projects into joint cavity
ligaments of acromioclavicular joint
articular capsule
superior and inferior acromioclavicular ligaments
coracoclavicular lig
2 portions of coracoclavicular lig
conoid- medial attaches to conoid tubercle of clavicle
trapezoid- lateral, attaches superiorly to trapezoid line of clavicle
Where is the acromioclavicular joint strongest
where tendinous fibers of trapezius attach superiorly to the distal clavicle and acromion
what is the arterial supply to acromioclavicular joint
branches of thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic aa
What is the nerve supply to the acromioclavicular joint
supraclavicular nerves
lateral pec n
axillary n
What is the joint type of the glenohumeral joint
synovial and ball and socket
what are the articular elements of the glenhumeral joint
glenoid cavity of scapula and head of humerus
what are the ligaments of the glenhumeral joint
articular capsule
coracohumeral lig
coracoacromial lig
transverse humeral lig
What is the articular capsule function of glenohumeral joint
joint flexibility in all ranges. attaches to brim of glenoid cavity and anatomical neck of humerus
describe coracohumeral lig
arising from coracoid process to lateral anterior greater tubercle of humerus
what does the coracohumeral lig prevent
inferior dislocation
describe the coracoacromial lig
spans superior processes
what does the coracoacromial lig prevent
superior dislocation
describe the transverse humeral lig
anteriorly spans intertubercular groove to tendon of long head biceps
special features of glenohumeral joint
glenoid labrum
glenohumeral bands
what is the glenoid labrum
fibrocartilaginous elevation surrounding glenoid cavity; assists in increasing depth of socket
what are the glenohumeral bands or ligaments
3 bands (superior middle and inferior) seen on internal aspect of anterior wall of joint capsule. from anterior glenoid margin to lesser tubercle and anatomical neck
What do the glenohumeral bands prevent
prevent anterior and posterior inferior dislocation
arterial supply for glenohumeral joint
anterior and posterior circumflex humeral aa
suprascapular a
nerve supply
suprascapular n
axillary
lateral pectoral n
