Pectoral Region & Shoulder Flashcards
Osteology in the pectoral region and shoulder
sternum
Clavicle
Scapula
Humerus
Clavicle
Sternal End and Acromial End
Acromial end of clavicle
as travel lateral - this aspect is more flattened
posterior scapula
where there are a lot of bony landmarks
spine - can palpate
Acromium process of scapula
more lateral aspect and will come from the spine as it flattens out and will ARTICULATE with the acromium process of the clavicle
Acromium process of scapula
more lateral aspect and will come from the spine as it flattens out and will ARTICULATE with the acromium process of the clavicle
inferior angle of scapula
where the medial and lateral borders of the scapula come together
suprascapular notch
allow passage of the artery and nerves to pass to the posterior aspect of the scapula
Glenoid Cavity
articulatiung with the head of the humerus
Humeral Head
smooth articular surface
anatomical neck
fused growth plate - proximal and immediately below head
intertubercular groove
bicipital groove
between greater and lesser tubercle
surgical neck
common site of fracture
as you transfer from bulky/bulbous to more narrow shaft to more thin bone
aka site of surgeries
deltoid tuberosity
site of distal attachement of the deltoid
Four joints of the shoulder complex
Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular
Glenohumeral
Scapulothoracic
Sternoclavicular Joint Type Articular components Associated structures movements
Articular components: Sternal end of the clavicle and manubrium of sternum MODIFIED TYPE SADDLE JOINT FIBROCARTILAGE DISC Movements: Elevation/Depression Protraction/Retraction
Sternoclavicular Joint Type Articular components Associated structures movements
Articular components: Sternal end of the clavicle and manubrium of sternum MODIFIED TYPE SADDLE JOINT/synovial FIBROCARTILAGE DISC Movements: Elevation/Depression Protraction/Retraction
Fibrocartilage disc in the sternoclavicular joint
This is the ONLY site of bony attachment between the appendicular upper skeleton and the axial skeletion so there is a lot of force coming through to this joint so this fibrocartilage disc helps with that
Acromioclavicular Joint Type Articular components Associated structures movements
Articular components : Acormial end of the clavicle and acromium process of the scapula
Type : plan type synovial joint
Associated structure : fibrocartilage disc (but not as substantial as the sternoclavicular fibrous disc)
Movements: GLIDING between the clavicle and scapula
Glenohumeral Joint Type Articular components Associated structures movements
Articular : Humeral head and glenoid fossa
Type: Ball and socket synovial joint
Movement : THREE PLANES
- flexion and extension
-abduction/adduction
-internal/external rotation
Features: then glenoid fossa is about 1/3 the size of the humeral head
BOTH NON-CONTRACTILE AND CONTRACTILE STRUCTURES ENHANCE THE G-H STABILITY
How does the shoulder joint compensate for being unstable with the difference in size of the glenoid fossa and the bigger size of the humeral head?
Having contractile and non contractile structures to enhance
What plane are the movements of flexion/extension
abduction/adduction and
internal and external rotation in respectively
Sagital
frontal/coronal
Transverse
Non-contractile of the glenhumeral joint
Coracoacromial ligament
Glenohumeral Ligaments
Glenoid labrum
Contractile supporting of the glenhumeral joint
Muscles of rotator cuff
Coracoacromial Ligament
NON-CONTRACTILE
prevents an upward glide
between the coracoid and acromium process and preventing upwards shift when doing over head activities
coracoacromial arch
what forms it and what features are associated with it
tendon?
preventing what?
NON-CONTRACTILE
formed by the smooth inferior aspect of the actomion and the coracoid process of the scapula, with the coracoacromial ligament spanning between them
Preventing SUPERIOR displacement from the glenoid cavity
THE TENDON OF THE SUPRASPINATUS MUSCLE PASSES UNDERNEATH THIS ARCH AND IS AT RISK FOR GETTING SQUEEZED -rotator cuff injury
