Lecture 13: Shoulder Joint Flashcards
What are the two bones involved in the shoulder joint?
Humerus and scapula
The scapula’s supraglenoid tubercle attaches what muscle?
long head bicep brachii
the scapula’s infraglenoid tubercle attaches what muscle?
long head tricep brachii
What is the surgical neck?
the diaphysis of humerus
How many greater tubercles are there?
3
How many lesser tubercles are there?
1
Where does the coracoclavicular ligament insert?
to the coracoid process of the scapula
Apart from the scapula, what are the other bones that interact with the head of the humerus?
Acromion and glenoid labrum (ring)
Where is the synovial capsule attached to?
around the glenoid labrum
What is the extracapsular ligament of the shoulder joint:
coraco-acromial, gaps between the coracoid and acromion
What is the intracapsular ligaments of the shoulder joint:
1) Coroco-humeral
2) Tranverse humeral (between greater and lesser tubercles)
3) Glenohumeral
What does a bursa do?
Prevents friction between bone and soft tissue and acts as a cushion
What are the main tendons involved in the shoulder joint
Subscapularis; supraspinatus; infraspinatus: bicep tendon; subscapularis
What does the sacciform synovial membrane do?
allows bicep brachii tendon to move up and down the humerus.
Explain what the caracoacromial arch does? (give me 2)
acts as a buffer and prevents superior dislocation
What are the rotator cuff muscles? (SIST)
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
subscapularis
teres minor
