Lecture 8: Shoulder Complex and Joint Flashcards
What does the costoclavicular ligament do?
serves as the axis for elevation and depression and for the protraction and retraction
main check for elevation
infraspinatus distal attachment
middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
What are the structural classifications of the sternoclavicular joint?
synovial
shallow, saddle
articular disc
subscapularis proximal attachment
sub scapular fossa of scapula
What is a force couple?
two parallel forces, equal in magnitude but opposite direction acting on different points of the body a distance apart from each other
What are the ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint?
anterior/posterior sternoclavicular ligaments
costoclavicular ligaments
interclavicular ligament
pectoralis major action
adducts and medially rotates arm
clavicular head: flexes arm
sternal head: extends arm from flexed position
draws scapula inferiorly and anteriorly
What are the steps in arm abduction?
movement (searching) of scapula: serratus anterior clamps scapula to thoracic wall
snubbing of head and humorous into glenoid fossa: rotator cuff muscles
first few degrees of abduciton: supraspinatus
external rotation of humerus: infraspinatus
What muscle helps with extension of the shoulder?
posterior deltoid and latissimus dorsi.
Teres major and minor, infraspinatus, sternal head of pectoralis major, and triceps longus assists.
What are the contents of the quadrilateral space?
axillary nerve
posterior circumflex humeral artery
rhomboids blood supply
dorsal scapular artery
serratus anterior innervation
long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)
supraspinatus innervation
supra scapular nerve
What is the glenoid labrum?
fibrocartilage meniscus
deepens articulating surface of glenoid fossa
supraspinatus action
works with delta in abduction of humerus, its with other rotator cuff muscles in stabilizing shoulder joint
teres minor distal attachment
inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
teres minor proximal attachment
middle part of lateral border of scapula
What is the sensory supply to the shoulder?
supraclavicular nerves and cutaneous branches of dorsal rami
What shoulder muscles depress the scapula?
latissimus dorsi
rhomboids innervation
dorsal scapular nerve
Describe the joint capsule of the glenohumeral joint.
very lax
up to an inch of passive distraction
subclavius innervation
nerve to subclavius (C5, C6)
pectoralis minor action
draws scapula inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall (stabilizes scapula)
teres major blood supply
circumflex scapular artery
latissimus dorsi innervation
thoracodorsal nerve (C6-8)
What are the structural classifications of the acromioclavicular joint?
synovial
plane
What are the movements of the acromioclavicular joint?
scapular rotations (around AP axis)
wining of vertebral border of scapula (around vertical axis)
Tipping of inferior angle of scapula (around coronal axis)
What are the articulating bones of the glenohumeral joint?
glenoid fossa of scapula
head of humerus
What does an articular disc attach to?
clavicle superiorly
manubrium and first costal cartilage inferiorly
teres major innervation
lower sub scapular nerve (c5, c6)
latissimus dorsi distal attachment
floor of intertubercular groove
What shoulder muscles abduct the scapula?
serratus anterior
pectoralis major innervation
lateral and medial pectoral nerves
clavicular head: C5, C6
sternal head: C7, C8, T1
subclavius action
anchors and depresses clavicle
supraspinatus proximal attachment
supraspinous fossa of scapula
What does the anterior/posterior sternoclavicular ligament do?
check anterior/ posterior movements of clavicular head
upper distal attachment of trapezius
lateral third of ventricle
What are the functional classifications of the glenohumeral joint?
triaxial diarthrotic flexion/extension abduction/adduction circumduction lateral/medial rotation of arm/humerus
What shoulder muscles abduct the shoulder?
middle deltoid
biceps brachii assits
subscapularis innervation
upper and lower sub scapular nerves
What are the scapulohumeral muscles?
deltoid
teres major
serrates anterior
rhomboids distal attachment
medial border of scapula from level of the spine inferiorly to the inferior angle
middle distal attachment of trapezius
acromion and crest of scapular spine
middle action of trapezius
adducts (retracts) scapula
How does deltoid paralysis occur?
Damage to axillary nerve
infraspinatus innervation
supra scapular nerve
infraspinatus action
laterally rotates humerus, helps hold humeral head in place
serratus anterior distal attachment
anterior surface of medial border of scapula
What are the articulating bones of the acromioclavicular joint?
concave facet on acromion process (scapula)
convex facet on lateral end of clavicle
