Shoulder Flashcards
Humerus - articular surface is covered with
hyaline cartilage
Humerus - head is retroverted
20 to 30 degrees
Humerus - longitudinal axis of the head is
135 degrees from axis of neck
Scapula - sits over
2nd to 7th ribs
Scapula - lateral angle has the
glenoid fossa which faces ant, lat, sup
Scapula - glenoid fossa - allows for
freer ROM in abduction and flexion
Scapula - glenoid fossa - con___
Concave fossa receives convex humeral head
Clavicle - links
Manubrium to acromion
Connects shoulder complex to axial skeleton
GH joint - articulations
Convex humeral head with concave glenoid fossa
Glenoid fossa is shallow
Sternoclavicular joint - articulations
Convex (sup/inf) and Concave (ant/post) articulates with reciprocal shape of sternum
Sternoclavicular joint - articulations are covered with
fibrocartilage
