Quiz 2.2 Flashcards
Why does glenoid fossa point up
Allows for overhead movement but make shoulder prone to separation
Labrum there to add stability
What supports the glenohumeral joint
Rotator cuff muscles
Capsular ligaments
Coracohumeral ligament
Scapula impact on shoulder movement
Humerus and scapular work/move together to create greater range of motion
Scapula rotates upward so there is no humeral impingement
Movements of glenohumeral joint
Flexion
Extension
Int/ext rotation (Int >)
Ab/Ad duction
Articulations of elbow
Humeroulnar joint, humeroradial joint, proximal radio-ulnar joint
Humeroulnar joint
Hinge joint
Trochlea of humerus and ulna
Flex/extension
Humeroradial joint
Limited ball-n-socket, hinge
Capitulum of humerus, radius
Pronation/supination
Flex/ext
Proximal radioulnar
Pivot
Radial head of radius and radial notch of ulna
Contributes to ROM of pronation/supination
Distal Radioulnar
Pivot
Ulnar notch of radius and head of ulna
Primary pronation/supination
Muscles for supination
Biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and supinator
Muscles for pronation
Pronator teres and pronator quadratus
Interosseous membrane
Connective tissue that connects radius and ulna, allows for pronation and supination
Why are there so many ligaments at different orientations at the elbow?
Stress comes from many different angles so ligaments must provide stability in many planes
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL)
Anterior, posterior, and oblique/transverse ligaments
Limits abduction at elbow joint
Tommy John Surgery
For tear of the UCL
Common baseball pitcher injury
Uses hamstring tendon as replacement
