Lecture 9: Upper Extremity Arthrology Flashcards
Sternoclavicular Joint (type and ligaments)
- sellar synovial (saddle)
- Anterior/Posterior Sternoclavicular L.
- Interclavicular L.
- Costoclavicular L.
also has articular disc
Acromioclavicular Joint (type and ligaments)
- planar synovial
- Acromioclavicular L.
- Coracoclavicular L. (Trapezoid and Conoid Ls.)
Acromioclavicular Damage (Shoulder Separation) –> 2 types
- Fall on elbow (dislocate joint)
- Fall on shoulder (dislocate joint and rupture coracoclavicular L.)
Glenohumeral Joint (type and ligaments)
- ball and socket (spheroidal synovial)
- Glenoid Labrum
- Transverse Humeral L.
- Coracohumeral L.
- Coracoacromial L. (of Coracoacromial Arch)
- Glenohumeral L.
What prevents superior dislocation of the Glenohumeral Joint?
Coracoacromial Arch
- dislocation normally occurs inferior/anterior
- seen in baseball pitchers
Humeroulnar Joint
- ginglymus synovial (hinge)
- Ulnar Collateral L. of the Elbow
1. Posterior Band (weakest)
2. Anterior Band (strongest)
3. Oblique Band (deepens socket of humeral trochlea)
Humeroradial Joint
- ginglymus synovial (hinge)
- Radial Collateral L. of the Elbow
What causes elbow dislocation?
- tear of Ulnar Collateral L. of elbow due to force on long axis of Forearm
- dislocated posteriorly
Olecranon Bursae (3)
- Subtendinous –> deep to triceps brachii. M.
- Intratendinous –> inside triceps brachii. T.
- Subcutaneous –> in subQ CT above olecranon
What are the two most commonly inflamed bursae?
- Subcutaneous Bursa
2. Biciptoradial Bursa
What is “Student’s/Dart Thrower’s/Miner’s Elbow”?
Subcutaneous Olecranon Bursitis
- from excessive friction between skin and olecranon
Proximal, Middle, and Distal Radioulnar Joints
Proximal: trochoid synovial, Annular L.
Middle: syndesmosis, Oblique Cord, Interosseous M.
Distal: trochoid synovial, articular disc.
Dislocation of the Radial Head (“Nursemaid’s/Pulled Elbow”)
- occurs from pulling on arm of child
- Subluxation –> head below L.
- Dislocation –> head lateral to L.
Radiocarpal Joint (type and ligaments)
- condyloid synovial
- Dorsal/Palmar Ulnocarpal Ls.
- Dorsal/Palmar Radiocarpal Ls.
- Ulnar Collateral L. of the Wrist
- Radial Collateral L. of the Wrist
Intercarpal Joint (type and ligaments)
- planar synovial
- Anterior/Posterior Intercarpal Ls.
- Pisohamate L.
- interosseous membrane
