L3 Shoulder, Axilla, And Arm Flashcards
What are the joints of the shoulder?
3
Sternoclavicular joint SC
Acromioclavicular joint AC
Glenohumeral joint
SC joint type and shape
Saddle-shaped synovial
Between sternum and clavicle
Complex because it’s interrupted by disc
SC joint movements
Elevation, depression
Retraction, protraction
Of scapula
AC joint type and shape
Plane-shaped synovial
Allows gliding
Between lateral end of clavicle and acromion of scapula
AC joint movements
Retraction, protraction of scapula
Anteroposterior axis
What ligament(s) reinforce the AC joint?
Coracoclavicular (CC) ligament
Trapezoid portion is lateral
Conoid portion is more medial
Is it possible to damage AC joint but not CC ligament?
Yes
Because they are in different locations
What acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation and what does it look like clinically?
Shoulder separation when AC joint and CC ligaments are torn
Looks like bulge near the lateral portion of clavicle
Should separates from clavicle and falls because of the weight of upper limb
Type and shape of glenohumeral joint?
Ball and socket synovial (most movement because moves around transverse, anterior/posterior, and vertical axis)
Between humorous and shoulder
What’s the ligament associated with the glenohumeral joint?
Coracoacromial ligament
Very rigid , adds stability
Between coracoid and acromion of scapula
What are the movements of the glenohumeral joint?
Flexion/extension
Medial/lateral rotation
Abduction/adduction
Circumduction
What are the anterior axioappendicular muscles?
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Serratus anterior
What are the posterior axioappendicular muscles?
Trapezius
Latissimis dorsi
Rhomboid major and minor
Levator scapulae
What are the scapulohumeral muscles?
Deltoid
Teres major
Rotator cuff muscles
What muscles are in the rotator cuff?
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres minor
Subscapularis
