What are the movements of the scapula?

A

• up and down (elevation and depression) • forwards (protraction = reaching the arm out in front, as if to push open a door, or throw a punch) • backwards (retraction = ‘squaring’ the shoulders) over the chest wall.

Q

How does the scapula move so the arm can be lifted above the head?

A

The scapula can move so that the inferior angle can be moved laterally and cranially from the anatomical position. This movement brings the face of the glenoid cavity upwards and allows the arm to be lifted above the head

A

Trapezius

Origin: occiput, nuchal ligament in the neck and the thoracic vertebrae

Inserts: on the clavicle and spine of the scapula

Movements: Its upper, middle and inferior fibres are orientated in different directions, meaning that these segments of fibres move the scapula differently if they are working independently: the upper elevate (shrugging the shoulders), the middle retract and the inferior depress, the scapula.

86

Onto which bony landmark does muscle A insert?

A

Pec minor inserts onto coracoid process of scapula

87

A

Axillary nerve (teres minor shown here)

89

90
Q

B (spine of scapula)

91

93
Q

Pec minor

  • Protraction of shoulder
  • Stabiliser of scapula
94
Q

Identify muscle A

A

Subscapularis

This image shows the anterior aspect of the pectoral girdle and shoulder - we can work this out because if it was the posterior aspect we would be able to see the spine of the scapula and more than one muscle over the scapula; here we see just one. This muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts onto the humerus.

95
Q

When is the axillary nerve at risk of being damaged?

A
  • Humeral surgical neck fracture (the axillary nerve runs close to the surgical neck of the humerus)

96
Q

What inserts on the a) medial b) lateral c) floor of the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus?

A

a) medial –> teres major
b) lateral –> pec major
c) floor –> lat dorsi

97
Q

Name muscle C. Where does it insert? What is its movements?

A

E - Glenoid fossa

F - Lateral border of scapula

G - Head of humerus

H - Greater tubercle

104
Q

The muscle that lies in the region indicated by the letter A? What is its movements?

A

This bony landmark / region is the supraspinous fossa –> supraspinatus lies here and is an abductor of the shoulder joint

105
Q

Name the muscles. Which of these are borders of the quadrilateral space?

A

A - infraspinatus

B - teres minor

C - teres major

A

This is the anterior surface of the scapula and the muscle is subscapularis.

Origin: subscapular fossa

Medially rotates shoulder

107
Q
A
108
Q

What does the dorsal scapular nerve innervate?

A

Rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, levator scapulae

109
Q

Why are those who dislocate their shoulders often more prone to future dislocations?

A

When humeral head moves anteriorly and medially, it can stretch/tear the glenoid labrum so cannot help with stability of shoulder joint anymore

110
Q

How does biceps tendon add to stability of shoulder joint?

A

One of the tendons of biceps runs in the biciptal groove / intertubercular sulcus, runs through the shoulder joint and inserts on the supraglenoid tubercle

This adds stability as tendon runs through joint
