Q

How do you differentiate between fractured clavicle or dislocated shoulder?

A

Look for rounded profile of the shoulder:

Shoulder dislocation:
* Shoulder squared off – can see acromioclavicular joint

Clavicular fracture:
* Rounded profile of shoulder - SCM pulls medium section upwards. Tenting of the joint

Clavicle on left; shoulder dislocation on right

Q

Describe scapulo-humeral rhythm [2]

A

Scapula and humerus move in a 1:2 ratio.

When the arm is abducted 180 degrees, 60 degrees occurs by roation of the scapula and 120 degrees by rotation of the humerus at the shoulder joint

Q

what are two prominent structures / features of the the glenohumeral joint? [2]

Why is this clinically significant [1]

A

what are two prominent features of the glenohumeral joint? ​

glenoid cavity accomodates approx/ 1/3 of the humeral head: means that should can have wider range of movement
