Q

How do the conoid and trapezoid ligaments work separately and together ?

A

Conoid: in the sagittal plane, stops vertical displacement of the clavicle, holds it down in place.
Trapezoid: in the transverse/horizontal plane, stops lateral displacement of the clavicle.

Together: provide stability to stop excessive rotation of the scapula and clavicle to prevent shoulder separation.

17
Q

Which muscles rotate the shoulder?

A

Serratus anterior

Pectoralis minor

Trapezius

Rhomboids

18
Q

What is a grade 1 acromioclavicular dislocation?

A

AC ligaments are stretched but not torn.
CC ligaments are intact.

Can be fixed conservatively by immobilising the joint.

19
Q

What is a grade 2 acromioclavicular dislocation?

A

AC ligaments torn and disrupted.
CC ligaments remain intact.

AC ligaments can be fixed.

20
Q

What is a grade 3 acromioclavicular dislocation?

A

AC and CC ligaments are ruptured.
Wide separation of joint.
Humerus sinks inferiorly to the clavicle.

21
Q

What is the blood supply of the glenohumeral joint?

A

Circumflex humeral arteries (anterior and posterior)

22
Q

What is the nerve supply of the glenohumeral joint?

A

Suprascapular
Axillary
Lateral pectoral

23
Q

What are the ligaments of the glenohumeral joint?

A

Intrinsic:
Coracohumeral
Glenohumeral (Z - superior, middle, inferior)

Extrinsic:
Coracoacromial - tight roof
Transverse humeral - holds LH of biceps tendon in bicipital groove.

24
Q

Which ligament is lax to allow your arm hang by your side?

A

The inferior glenohumeral ligament.

25
Q

What are the names of the three bursa found Im the glenohumeral joint?

A

Subscapular

Subacromial

Subdeltoid

26
Q

Which muscles abduct the scapula?

A

The trapezius and serratus anterior.

Trapezius pulls the spine of the scapula upwards.

Serratus anterior pulls the spine of the scapula outwards.

27
Q

When is the glenohumeral joint most like to dislocate?

A

When the humerus is abducted and externally rotated.
The humerus makes most contact in this position.
It gives maximal stability but is most exposed.
Dislocates anteriorly and inferiorly.

28
Q

What movements do flexor musculature produce?

A

Flexion
Adduction
Medial rotation

29
Q

Which muscles make up the flexor musculature of the shoulder joint?

A
Pectoralis major
Deltoid
Biceps
Coracobrachialis
Teres major
Latissimus dorsi
Subscapularis
30
Q

Which muscles make up the extensor musculature of the shoulder joint?

A
Deltoid
Teres major
Latissimus dorsi 
Triceps 
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus 
Teres minor
31
Q

Which muscles contribute to abduction at the shoulder joint?

A

Deltoid

Supraspinatus

32
Q

Where is the subdeltoid physiological joint?

A

Between the supraspinatus tendon and the glenohumeral joint.
Deep to deltoid.
Painful arc syndrome occurs as the supraspinatus tendon doesn’t have a good blood supply (necrosis).

33
Q

Where is the scapulothoracic physiological joint?

A

Between the serratus and the thorax.
Between the serratus and the scapula.
Scapula and humerus 1:2.

34
Q

What are some rotator cuff injuries?

A

Frozen shoulder - adhesive capsulitis, calcification restricts movement.

Impingement of supraspinatus - during abduction.

Rotator cuff (fixator muscles) blend with capsule of joint, pull humeral head towards glenoid and compress it.

35
Q

What is subacromial bursitis?

A

Calcification of subacromial bursa located under acromion process of the scapula.
Susceptible to irritation during shoulder abduction.

36
Q

What type of dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is most common?

A

Anterior/inferior
Due to the force applied to the abducted and externally rotated arm.
Can be fixed.

37
Q

What type of dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is least common?

A
Posterior.
Due to electric shock or seizures.
Arm adducted and internally rotated.
Head of humerus is pushed behind the glenoid cavity.
Can't be fixed conservatively.
