Lecture 9: Upper Extremity Arthrology Flashcards
Sternoclavicular Joint
- What are the bones involved?
- What is the joint type?
- What ligaments are involved?
1. What are the bones involved?
Sternal Facet on Sternal end of Clavicle and notch of the Manubrium
2. What is the joint type?
Sellar/Saddle Synovial
- What ligaments are involved?*
- Fibrous capsule
- Costoclavicular Ligament (rib to clavicle)
- Anterior Sternoclavicular Ligament (thickenings of fibrous capsule)
- Posterior Sternoclavicular Ligament
- Interclavicular Ligament (one clavicle to the other)
Acromioclavicular Joint
- What are the bones involved?
- What is the joint type?
- What three ligaments are involved?
1. What are the bones involved?
Acromial end of Clavicle and facet of the acromion of Scapula
2. What is the joint type?
Planar Synovial
- What ligaments are involved?*
- Fibrous Capsule with Articular Disc
- Acromioclavicular Ligament (from Acromion to Clavicle, most of what holds the joint together)
- Coracoclavicular Ligament (has two parts corresponding to the tubercle / line of the sternum)
What two Ligaments make up the Coracoclavicular Ligament?
Conoid Ligament
Trapezoid Ligament
What are the two ways that can cause shoulder separation?
- Landing on elbow: dislocaiton of acromioclavicular ligament without ligament rupture
- Landing directly on shoulder: dislocaiton of acromioclavicular ligament with rupture of coracoclavicular ligament
Glenohumeral Joint
- What are the bones involved?
- What is the joint type?
- What ligaments are involved?
1. What are the bones involved?
Glenoid Cavity of Scapular Head and Head of Humerus
2. What is the joint type?
Spheroidal Synovial (Balla and Socket) Joint
- What ligaments are involved?*
- Fibrous Capsule (no articular disc)
- Glenohumeral Ligament
- Coracoacromial Arch and Ligament (protects from superior dislocation of the humerus)
- Coracohumeral Ligament (goes from the base of the coracoid process to the humerus)
- Transverse Humeral Ligament
What all makes up the Coracoacromial Arch?
- Acromion (bony process on scapula)
- Coracoid Process (lateral edge on superior scapular)
- Coracoacromial Ligament
What does the Transverse Humeral Ligament do?
- Goes from the Greater Tubercle of the Humerus to the Lesser Tubercle of the Humerus
- Holds the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii Tendon in the Intertubercular Groove.
What are the two most likely ways to incur a glenohumeral dislocation?
-Anteriorly or Inferiorly (think throwing a baseball)
The Coracoacromial Arch stops Superior and Posterior Dislocation
The Humerus would strike the Acromion of the Scapula posteriorly
What two Bursa are associated with the Synovial Membrane of the Glenohumeral Joint?
Subacromial Bursa (doesn’t communicate w/ synovial membrane)
Subscapular Bursa (communicates w/ synovial membrane)
Elbow Joint
- What are the bones involved?
- What is the joint type?
- What ligaments are involved?
- What are the bones involved?*
- Humeral Condyle
- Trochlear Notch of Ulna
- Head of Radius
- What is the joint type?*
Ginglymus/Hinge Joint
- What ligaments are involved?*
- Fibrous capsule
- Radial Collateral Ligament of the Elbow
- Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Elbow
- Annular Ligament of the Elbow (Ulna -> wraps around the joint -> Ulna)
What ligament is likely to tear if the elbow dislocates posteriorly?
Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament of the Humerus
What seven bursae are present in the elbow?
- Subcutaneous Bursa of the Lateral Epicondyle of the Humerus
- Subcutaneous Bursa of the Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus
- Bursa of Anconius
- Bursa at the Origin of Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis
Olecranon Burase:
- Subtendinous Olecranon Bursae
- Intratendinous Olecranon Bursae
- Subcutaneous Olecranon Bursae
What disease is characterized by excessive friction between olecranon and skin?
Subcutaneous Olecranon Bursitis
Also called Student’s / Miners / Dart Thrower’s Elbow
How many different articulations are there between radius and ulnar?
Three
- Proximal Radioulnar Joint
- Middle Radioulnar Joint
- Distal Radioulnar Joint
Proximal Radioulnar Joint
- What are the bones involved?
- What is the joint type?
- What ligament is involved?
1. What are the bones involved?
Radius and ulna
2. What is the joint type?
Trochoid Synovial: primary site of Pronation/Supination (pivot motion)
- What ligaments are involved?*
- Annular Ligament (holds radial head together by going ulna to ulna
What is Nursemaid’s Elbow?
Dislocation of radial head out of annular ligament
- pulled elbow
- most often seing pullling on arm of child
Medial Radioulnar Joint
- What are the bones involved?
