Shoulder Flashcards
Bones of girdle
clavicle, humerus, scapula
3 synovials
glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular
accessory joints
costo-sternal and costovertebral
functional joints
supra-humoral and scapulothoracic
head of humerus articulates
glenoid fossa
3 scapular landmarks
spine, acromion, and coracoid process
distal clavical articulates
acromion process
sellar “saddle” joint of clavicle - 3 planes of motion
sternoclavicular - frontal, horizontal, rotation
joints of early motion of shoulder abduction
limited to glenohumeral and supra-humeral
planar joint of clavicle - 3 planes of motion
acromioclavicular - same motion more prominent
ligaments for glenohumeral are formed from
thickening of the capsule (little support)
major support for the GH joint
SITS - rotator cuff
rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
