Lecture Shoulder part 2 Deep Shoulder Flashcards
What are the joints of the shoulder?
- sternocalvicular joint
- gleno-humeral joint
- acromioclavicular joint
Where does clavicle articulate anteriorly?
- at manubrium of sternum with sternoclavicular joint
Where does clavicle articulate laterally?
- acromioclavicular joint
What articulates at gleno-humeral joint?
- glenoid of scapula and head of humerus
What is the pectoral girdle?
- clavicle and scapula
What type of joint is the sternoclavicular joint?
- synovial joint
What is the only true boney articulation between upper limb and thorax?
- sternoclavicular joint
Can the sternoclavicular joint move in multiple planes?
- Yes it is a multiaxial joint
-
What movements does the sternoclavicular joint have?
- elevation/depression (clavicle and disc) - protraction/retraction (clavicle and sternum) - rotation (both)
Does dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint occur frequently?
- no the clavicle is more likely to fracture from force first
What is the movement of plane joints?
- they slide on each other
How does acromioclavicular joint dislocate?
- upward force stretches or tears the ligaments in some way
What is a grade 1 separated shoulder?
- acromioclavicular ligament sprain
What is a grade 2 separated shoulder?
- acromioclavicular ligament tear
What is a grade 3 separated shoulder?
- acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments are torn
What type of joint is the genlohumeral?
- synovial capsule
Is the glenohumeral joint strong?
- no it is weak but very mobile
What reinforces the glenohumeral joint?
- tendons of the rotator cuff muscles
Long tendon of pierces the capsule and attaches to supraglenoid tubercle of scapula and glenoid labrum
-bicheps brachii
What forms roof of glenoid fossa and attaches coracoid process to acromion?
- coraco acromial ligament
What forms roof of glenoid fossa?
- coraco acromial ligament
What are bursa?
- pillows of synovial fluid
Dislocation of glenohumeral joint is?
- dislocation of shoulder
Dislocation of acromioclavicular joint is?
- separated shoulder
what is the most common dislocation direction?
- downward (inferior) direction but described as anterior
What prevents upward dislocation?
- the coracoacrominal structures and rotator cuff
