Q

The glenohumeral joint

A

the articulation between the head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This joint allows for the following movements of the arm; flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, and internal and external rotation

Q

The sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints

A

are the articulations between the clavicle and the sternum and the clavicle and acromion process of the scapula respectively. these joints are relatively immobile and allow for a gliding type of motion

33
Q

Identify

34
Q

The scapulothoracic joint

A

is not a true joint in the sense of the word but rather a functional joint. It occurs between the anterior surface of the scapula and posterior/lateral thoracic wall. The movements of the scapula that occur here are;

  • Elevation
  • Depression
  • Protraction
  • Retraction
  • upward rotation
  • Downward rotation
35
Q

Scapula joint actions

6 Listed

36
Q

The most important static stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint are…

A

the capsule and its associated ligaments

37
Q

The most important dynamic stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint are…

A

the muscles of the rotator cuff

38
Q

Muscles of the rotator cuff

4 Listed

A
  • Supraspinatus
  • Infraspinatus
  • Subscapularis
  • Teres minor
39
Q

Supraspinatus Action

A

initiates and assists with abducting of the arm

40
Q

Infraspinatus Action

A
  • External rotation
  • abduction and adduction
41
Q

Subscapularis Action

A

Internal rotation

42
Q

Teres minor action

A
  • External rotation
  • Adduction
43
Q

Important ligaments of the glenohumeral joint

A
  • Glenoid labrum
  • glenohumeral ligaments
44
Q

The ligaments that support the Acromioclavicular joint

2 listed

A
  • acromioclavicular ligament
  • coracoclavicular ligaments
45
Q

The coracoacromial ligament creates an ________ over the top of the glenohumeral joint and a space through which the supraspinatus tendon passes which can contribute to ______

A
  • Arch
  • impingement of the supraspinatus
46
Q

Shoulder dislocation

A
  • Disarticulation of the head of the humerus from the glenoid is called a shoulder dislocation
47
Q

Most common shoulder dislocation

A

in most cases, the head of the humerus moves anteriorly and inferiorly relative to the glenoid

48
Q

Grade I Disarticulation of the clavicle and acromion

A

A slight displacement of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament may be stretched or partially torn. This is the most common type of injury to the AC joint.

49
Q

Grade II Disarticulation of the clavicle and acromion

A

A partial dislocation of the joint in which there may be some displacement that may not be obvious during a physical examination. The acromioclavicular ligament is completely torn while the coracoclavicular ligaments remain intact.

50
Q

Grade III Disarticulation of the clavicle and acromion

A

A complete separation of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament, the coracoclavicular ligaments, and the capsule surrounding the joint are torn. Usually, the displacement is obvious on clinical exam. without any ligament support, the shoulder falls under the weight of the arm and the clavicle is pushed up, causing an obvious bump on top of the shoulder.
