Q

What is the most commonly injured rotator cuff muscle? What is the method by which it gets injured?

A

Supraspinatus
> or equal to90 degree angle of humerus creates a compression point for the tendon of supraspinatus and it can also tear (common in elderly)

21
Q

What are activities that can cause rotator cuff (esp supraspinatus) injuries?

A 
Tennis, swimming, pitching
stacking boxes or stocking shelves
painting
construction work
bone spurs, anatomical variation of the acromion (i.e., odd-shaped acromion that limits the space within roof of glenoid fossa)
22
Q

Subscapularis proximal and distal attachments

A

proximal: subscapular fossa (anterior surface of scapula)
Distal: lesser tubercle of humerus

23
Q

Actions of subscapularis

A

medially rotates and adducts humerus

helps hold humeral head in space

24
Q

Blood supply and innervation to subscapularis

A

subscapular artery

upper & lower subscapular nerves

25
Q

Dorsal scapular nerve recieves contributions from what two nerve roots? Which one is its PRIMARY source?

A

C4 & C5 but C5 is its primary source!

26
Q

C4 nerve root contributes to what 3 nerves?

A

Dorsal scapular n
Suprascapular n
n to subclavius

27
Q

What are some nerves that the C5 nerve root contributes to?

A

Long thoracic, lateral pectoral, suprascapular, musculocutaneous, nerve to subclavius

28
Q
  1. What is the largest and strongest Rotator cuff muscle?
  2. How common are isolated tears of this muscle and how common are injuries to this muscle?
  3. Injuring this muscle can lead to what other problems?
A
  1. Subscapularis
  2. Isolated tears are rare but fairly common sports injury in pitchers (powerful throwing motion), rotator cuff tendonitis
  3. Subscapularis injuries can lead to bicipital tendon instability and biceps tendonitis
29
Q

Function of the transverse ligament of humerus

A

holds long tendon of biceps brachii in the intertubercular groove

30
Q

Infraspinatus proximal and distal attachments

A

Proximal: infraspinous fossa of scapula
Distal:middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus

31
Q

Action of infraspinatus

A

laterally rotates humerus, helps hold humeral head in place

32
Q

BS and innervation to infraspinatus

A 
suprascapular artery
suprascapular nerve (c5, C6)
33
Q

Teres minor proximal and distal attachments

A

Proximal: Middle part of lateral border of scapula
Distal: inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus

34
Q

Teres minor action

A

laterally rotates humerus, helps hold humeral head in place

35
Q

BS and innervation to teres minor

A 
circumflex scapular artery
axillary nerve (C5, C6)
36
Q

what is the difference between the right and left subclavian arteries?

A

Right originates at brachiocephalic trunk
Left originates at aortic arch

subclavian artery arises posterior to sternoclavicular joint and has 3 divisions in relation to scale muscle (medial, posterior, lateral)

37
Q

Thyrocervical trunk arises from what major artery and branches into what arteries

A

subclavian gives off thyrocervical trunk branch which then has 3 major branches:

  1. Suprascapular artery
  2. Transverse cervical artery (cervicodorsal trunk) which branches into (superficial and deep branch)
  3. Ascending cervical (not that important)
  4. inferior thyroid a

**2: superficial branch also called superficial cervical a and deep branch also called dorsal scapular a

38
Q

Branches of the medial part of subclavian artery

A

internal thoracic artery (mammary a)
vertebral artery
thyrocervical trunk

39
Q

Branches of posterior part of subclavian artery

A

Costocervical arterial trunk:

  1. supreme intercostal artery
  2. deep cervical artery
40
Q

Branches of lateral part of subclavian artery

A

No branches but dorsal scapular can arise independently from lateral part

Lateral border of 1st rib is where subclavian a becomes axillary a

41
Q

Arteries from which major arteries conribute to anastomoses around the scapula, allowing collateral circulation to upper limb?

A

Subcalvian a and axillary a

42
Q

What are the anastomosing arterial branches?

A
  1. Suprascapular artery (from subclavian a)
  2. Dorsal scapular a (from deep branch of transverse cervical a from subclavian a)
  3. Posterior intercostal arteries (from aorta)
  4. Circumflex scapular a (division of subscapular a from axillary a)
  5. Thoracodorsal a (division of subscapular a from axillary a)
43
Q

If axillary artery is injured or occluded superior to subscapular artery, can blood still get to the rest of the arm, forearm and hand? If so, how?

A

Yes–via scapular anastomoses:

transverse cervical–>dorsal scapular–>circumflex scapular a

44
Q

Dorsal scapular artery can arise from what two different arteries?

A

can come directly off of subclavian OR from the transverse cervical artery (in this case, its called deep branch of transverse cervical artery and occurs 30% this way)

45
Q

Artery that runs along vertebral border of scapula is called what artery?

A

Dorsal scapular artery

46
Q

Borders and vessels of Quadrangular space

A

Borders: triceps (lateral and long head), teres minor and major
Vessels: Axillary nerve, posterior circumflex humeral artery

47
Q

Borders and vessels of triangular space

A

Borders: Teres minor, teres major, triceps LONG head
Vessels: circumflex scapular artery

48
