Clavicle
aka ‘collar bone,’ it’s S-shaped, like a crank
tubular at sternal end, flatter at acromial end
medial (sternal) end articulates with the sternum (duh) while the lateral (acromial) end articulates with the acromion process (also duh)
Scapula
Flat (sort of) triangular bone positioned between T2 and T7
provides origin for glenohumeral muscles and stable base from which the glenohumeral joint operates
Landmarks: spine, supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, acromion process, body, medial/lateral/superior borders, superior and inferior angles, coracoid process, subscapular fossa, and glenoid cavity
works in concert with clavicle to enhance total shoulder ROM

Humerus
Long, slender bone
Convex head is about 1/2 a sphere that articulates with the glenoid surface of the scapula
faces medially, superiorly and posteriorly
frontaly plane angle of inclination = 135˚, retroverted 30˚ in transverse plane
Landmarks: Anatomical Neck, surgical neck, greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, bicipital groove, shaft, deltoid tuberosty

The shoulder complex is composed of which joints?
3 True joints: sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and glenohumeral
1 Funtional joint: Scapulothoracic
What movements occur at the shoulder girdle?
Elevation and depression
Protraction and retraction
Upward and downward rotation
Scapular tilting: Anterior-Posterior and Medial-lateral
Sternoclavicular Joint
only “true” attachment of UE to axial skeleton
is a *synovial *saddle joint with 3˚ of freedom: primary elevation/depression, then protractio/retraction, and rotation (only posterior)
the sternal end of clavical meets the clavicular notch of the sternim: helps absorb forces transferred along the clavicle
Strong joint capsule with 3 ligaments: Costoclavicular, Interclavicular, and Anterior Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular Joint
Connects clavical to scapula
plane synovial joint (may or may not have a disc)
MOI: FOOSH (falling on out-stretched hand)
ligaments include (but are not limited to) the Coracoclavicular and the Acriomioclavicular
Motions: scapular rotation, scapula winging, tilting of scapula –often subject to dislocation (aka separation)
Scapulothoracic Joint
a Functional joint where the scapula joins the thorax, resting over ribs 2-7
NO ligaments- the primary force holding the scapula and thorax together is atmospheric pressure, supported by the AcromioClavicular and Scapuloclavicular joints
Motions: elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, upward/downward rotation
Abnormal motion: scapular winging, scapular tipping
Funtion: maintin length-tension relationship of RTC/deltoid, position glenoid to recieve humeral head, absorb shock, permit elevation of body, and enhance shoulder ROM
Glenohumeral Joint
synovial Ball and Socket joint: 3˚ of freedom: inherently unstable
humeral head is more than 2x’s size of glenoid, glenoid labrum deepens the socket and prevents humerus from sliding out
coracoacromial arch form the ‘roof’ of the glenohumeral joint, supported by the coracoacromial ligament
the glenohumeral capsule is slack, allowing lots of humeral movement and little limitation w/o the ligaments/muscles
Scapulohumeral rhythm
180˚ of abduction available, 120˚ from the glenohumeral joint (setting phase) , 60˚ from the scapula
