Saddle-shaped synovial

Between sternum and clavicle

Complex because it’s interrupted by disc

Q

Is it possible to damage AC joint but not CC ligament?

A

Yes

Because they are in different locations

Q

What acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation and what does it look like clinically?

A

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

16
Q

Deltoid muscles movements

A

Origin is U shaped
Insertion is on humerus

anterior fibers: flexion/medial rotation
Middle fibers: abduction
Superior fibers: extension, lateral rotation

All parts working together: abduction

17
Q

What do all rotator cuffs do?

A

Stabilize the glenohumeral joint

18
Q

Rotator cuff injuries most commonly affect the

A

Supraspinatus

19
Q

Generally, the muscles innervated by nerve fibers proximal to the injury will do what?

A

Function

20
Q

Muscles innervated by nerve fibers distal to the injury will..

A

Be paralyzed or weakened

21
Q

If a nerve is injured what happen to the muscle fibers innervated by that nerve?

A

Will be paralyzed

Will also atrophy and muscle mass will decrease

22
Q

What’s the axilla?

A

AKA armpit
Good passage way from core to UE

Has posterior lateral border, medial border, and anterior lateral border

23
Q

What passes through the axilla?

A

A lot of nerves

If surgery is done to remove lymph nodes (in breast cancer patients) long thoracic and thoracordorsal nerves can be damaged

24
Q

What nerves are involved in brachial plexus?

A

C5, C6, C7, C8, T1

25
Q

From most proximal to distal, what are the five parts the brachial nerves are broken into?

A
Roots
Trunks
Divisions 
Cords
Branches
26
Q

Suprascapular n travels where? And what muscles will it damage

A

Deep to transverse scapular ligament

Supraspinatus and infraspinatus

27
Q

What are the three trunks of brachial plexus?

A

Superior
Middle
Inferior

28
Q

What are the three cords of the brachial plexus?

A

Lateral
Posterior
Medial

29
Q

What are the five major branches of brachial plexus?

A
Musculocutaneous 
Median 
Ulnar
Radial
Axillary
30
Q

What does the anterior compartment contain and what movements do they perform ?

A

Flexsion and pronation

Musculocutaneous
Median
Ulnar

31
Q

What does the posterior compartment of the arm contain and what movements do they perform?

A

Extension and supination

Radial
Axillary
