shoulder Flashcards
what ligament runs vertically between the coracoid process and the clavicle
conoid ligament
what does the conoid ligament resist
elevation and protraction
wbat are the 3 ligaments that are apart of the AC joint
conoid
trapezoid
acromioclavicular
what ligaments runs in a superior and lateral direction between the coracoid process and clavicle
trapezoid ligament
what does the trapezoid ligament provide to the AC joint
compression
during clavicle elevation both ___ ligaments develop tension that results in ___ rotation of the clavicle along its long axis and resists ____ rotation forces of the scap
costclavicular
posterior
upward
what ligaments runs horizontally from the acromion to the clavicle
the acromioclavicualr ligament
what does the acromioclavicular ligament cover and what does it reinforce
covers teh joint capsule and reinforcers its superior aspect
how many degress of rotation and translation does teh AC joint have
3
the flat medial acromion surface faces what 3 ways and articulates with the flat lateral surface that faces what 3 ways
superior , anterior and medial
inferior , posterior and lateral
the SC joint has a capsule that surrounds teh entire joint . it is relatively weak and is supported by what 2 ligaments that provide anterior and posterior support
anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligament
the interclavicualr ligament spans between both medial ends of the clavicle and it thought to provide restraint to what
inferior forces on the medial end of the clavicle
where does the costoclavicular ligaments run
includes both an anterior and posterior bundle that runs from the superior surface of the first rib to the undersurface of the clavicle
what does the costcoclavicular ligament complex limit
excessive superior , anterior and posteiror movement of the medial end of the clavicle
how does the costoclavicular ligament act as a lever
bc when the clavicle moves up it created a lever to elevate the clavicle which allows teh scapula to fully come to upward rotation
Even though the SC joint is unstable, yet is one of the ___ dislocated joints in the shoulder.
least
what is the most important ligament in the SC joint
posterior sternoclavicular ligament
what are the ligametns of teh SC joint
anterior and posterior sternoclavicular lig
interclavicular lig
costcoclavicualr lig complex
the medial end of the clavicle is ___ in the anterior posterior direction and ___ superior to inferior
concave and convex
what is a large flat thin triangular shaped bone that rests on the posterior thoracic wall
scapula
how far does the medial border of the scapular rest from the thoracic vertebral column
5 cm (3 fingers)
what is the scapulothoracic joint
joint between the anterior portion of the scapula and the posterior thorax and rib cage
where does the superior level of the scap rest? inferior lower boarder? spine of scap?
