Joints of Upper Limb Flashcards
Describe the Sternoclavicular joint
synovial joint between clavicle and manubrium allowing 2 degrees of freedom: elevation/depression, protraction/retraction
Ligaments of sternoclavicular joint
capsular ligament
anterior sternoclavicular ligament
posterior sternoclavicular ligament
interclavicular ligament
costoclavicular ligament
where is the capsular ligament
surrounds the sternoclavicular joint
where is the anterior sternoclavicular ligament
anterior surface of manubrium connecting sternum to head of clavicle
where is the posterior sternoclavicular ligament
posterior surface of manubrium connecting sternum to head of clavicle
where is the interclavicular ligament
clavicle to clavicle across the jugular notch
where is the costoclavicular ligament
between clavicle and first rib
What joint is the costoclavicular ligament a part of and how does it differ from the rest of the joint
part of the sternoclavicular joint. Forms a Syndesmosis joint rather than synovial
Describe the acromioclavicular joint
Synovial joint between clavicle and scapula allowing two degrees of freedom; elevation and depression and upward/downward rotation
What ligaments make up the acromioclavicular joint
capsular ligament
acromioclavicular ligament
coracoclavicular ligament
where is the capsular ligament
surrounds acromioclavicular joint
where is the acromioclavicular ligament
between acromion process of sternum and the clavicle
where is the coracoclavicular ligament and what ligaments make it
between the clavicle and coracoid process. The coniod ligament and trapezoid ligament
What are the intrinsic scapular ligaments
coracoacromial ligament and the suprascapular ligament
where is the coracoacromial ligament
between coracoid process and acromial ligament
where is the suprascapular ligament
caps the suprascapular notch
describe the glenohumeral joint
synovial joint between humerus and scapula allowing 3 degrees of freedom: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral
what ligaments are in the glenohumoral joint
glenoid labrum
articular capsule
gelnohumeral ligament
coracohumeral ligament
transverse humeral ligament
where is the glenoid labrum
surrounds the glenoid fossa
