Q

What are the major nerves and vessels of the pectoral region and shoulder?

A

Subclavian artery and vein
Enter axilla > axillary artery and vein
Give rise to the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries > shoulder joint
The cephalic vein is a major superficial vein that drains into the axillary vein
Terminal branches of the brachial plexus
One of these, the axillary nerve, runs posteriorly, close to the surgical neck of the humerus > supplies deltoid and teres minor

36
Q

Pathology of bones and joints:

A

can be fractured or dislocated, or less commonly, become infected (osteomyelitis). Joint surfaces can be come worn (osteoarthritis) – this is very common

37
Q

Pathology of muscles and tendons

A

can be torn, become inflamed (tendonitis) or trapped (this is called impingement)

38
Q

Pathology of the nerves:

A

can be injured in various ways (cut, torn, stretched, compressed, avulsed) or they may become inflamed (neuritis)

39
Q

what is the most common muscle and joint injury in the shoulder?

A

The most common problem is the supraspinatus tendon getting trapped (impinged) between the humeral head and the acromion and becoming inflamed

40
Q

What is winged scapula?

A

can be caused by injury to the long thoracic nerve, which innervates serratus anterior
The nerve is vulnerable during surgery in the axilla, to penetrating chest wounds, during chest drain insertion, or can become inflamed (neuritis)

41
Q

What would a paralysed serratus anterior mean for the body?

A

A paralysed serratus anterior cannot hold the scapula onto the posterior chest wall > the medial border ‘lifts off’
This patient would also have difficulty protracting the scapula

42
Q

What is the brachial plexus?

A

the nerve network that innervates the upper limb

43
Q

Where is the brachial plexus located?

A

Located in the neck and axilla (armpit)

Q

What does the brachial plexus give rise to?

A

Gives rise to 5 major branches that provide the motor and sensory innervation of the upper limb
