Middle Fibres of the Deltoid
Abduction from 90 degrees
Scapula rotated by Trapezius and Serratus Anterior
Adduction
Pectoralis Major
Lattisimus Dorsi
Teres Major
Medial Rotation
Contraction of Subscapularis Pectoralis Major Lattisimus Dorsi Teres Major Anterior Deltoid
Lateral Rotation
Contraction of Infraspinitus
Teres Major
Which dislocation is most prevalent?
Anterior
What blocks superior movement?
Coraco-acromial Arch
What nerve can be damaged by injuries to the Shoulder Joint?
Auxiliary Nerve
Causes loss of sensation in regimental patch area and paralysis of Deltoid
Can also stretch the Radial Nerve
What is rotator cuff tendinitis?
Inflammation of the muscle tendons usually due to overuse
Causes painful arc syndrome (pain at mid abduction)
Which arteries supply the shoulder joint
Anterior/Posterior Circumflex Humeral arteries
Suprascapular Artery
Nerves which supply
Roots C5/6
Auxiliary
Suprascapular
Lateral nerves
What are the joints that articulate in the shoulder?
Head of Humerus
Glenoid Cavity of Scapula
Why is it unstable?
Head is much larger than the cavity
Glenoid labrum tries to stabilise, ‘deepens’ the Glenoid fossa
