Pectoral girdle pathophys Flashcards
What muscle is most likely to be injured in the pectoral girdle
Supraspinatus
What makes up the rotator cuff
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres minor
Subscapularis
What is the purpose of the scapula
Assist to anchor the upper extremities and help with ROM
What is the origin of the rotator cuff musculature
Scapula
What is the mechanism of action for a scapular fracture
High energy force
-MVC
-Fall from height
-FOOSH
-Non-accidental trauma
What are the complications of a scapular fx
Lung injury
brachial plexus injury
Thoracic cage injury
Shoulder girdle
Clavicular fx
Rib fx
How often to rib fractures occur with scapula fractures
64% of the time
What are some lung injuries that can occur with scapular fx
Pulmonary contusion
Pneumothorax
What are some structures that can have traumatic disruption with scapulothoracic dissociation
Subclavian artery
axillary artery
brachial plexus
AC separation
What happens with TOS
Compression of neuromuscular bundle
Mostly neurogenic (Venous>arterial)
What type of joint is the AC joint
Plane joint
Synovial joint
What is a mechanism of action for a clavicular fracture
FOOSH
Fall directly on shoulder
*If distal fx.. generally associated with direct trauma
Where is the most common clavicular fx and why
mid shaft because its typically the weakest point
What are some complications with a clavicular fx
Compression of subclavian vein,
Subclavian artery, brachial plexus
What is the mechanism of action for an AC joint dislocation
Fall -> acromion gets pushed under distal clavicle
