Shoulder Complex Flashcards
The shoulder girdle is composed of what three things?
scapula
clavicle
manubrium
Mobility is at the expense of ______ _______
structural stability
What joint is the only bony joint connecting the upper limb to the trunk?
sternoclavicular
Labrum deepens socket by __%
50%
Glenoid fossa is tilted __ degrees upward relative to vertebral border
5
vertebral (medial) border is located between?
T2-7
The forward convexity at the sternal end of the clavicle is the path for what?
upper extremity neurovascular bundle
How is the head of the humerus oriented inside the labrum?
faces medially, superiorly and is rotated posteriorly
What is the angle of inclination of the humerus and what is is measured relative to?
135 degrees; measured relative to the long axis of the shaft
Angle of torsion in humerus is retroverted ___ degrees in transverse plane
30
The condyles of humerus are located _____ relative to head of humerus. What does this allow?
anteriorly; allows head to be in scapular plane while elbow is in neutral and it also allows for greater ROM in abduction and external rotation before impingement occurs
Pectoral girdle joints consists of 2 bony articulations and 1 false articulation. What are they?
- Acromioclavicular
- Sternoclavicular
False:
-Scapulothoracic
Classification of sternoclavicular joint
- synovial, complex, modified stellar
- can also be classified as planar with multiplanar motion
- 3 DOF
What are the two articulations of the sternoclavicular joint?
manubrium and sternal end of clavicle
Movements of the sternoclavicular joint?
- elevation/depression
- protraction/retraction
- rotation
osteokinematics of sternoclavicular joint?
swing
________ ligament prevents upward displacement of the clavicle
interclavicular ligament
ARTHROKIN:
-Elevation of clavicle = _____ clavicular roll with ____ clavicular slide
superior
inferior
ARTHROKIN:
-Protraction of clavicle = _____ roll and slide
anterior
classification of acromioclavicular joint
- planar synovial joint
- multiplanar motion
osteokinematics of acromioclavicular joint?
translation
what muscular connections move the AC joint?
none!
Primary function of the AC joint?
assist the scapula in maintaining thoracic contact throughout ROM
Two articular surfaces of the AC joint?
acromial end of the clavicle and medial margin of the acromion of the scapula
What is the AC joint lined with?
fibrocartilage
2 accessory ligaments for the AC joint?
acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments
Which is stronger: coracoclavicular or acromioclavicular ligament
coraco
What is the coracoclavicular ligament composed of, and what stability do they provide?
Trapezoid - prevents lateral mvmt of clavicle on acromion
Conoid - checks superior mvmt of clavicle
GH joint has limited _____ stability
osseous
Approximately __% of head of humerus fits into glenoid cavity
25%
REMEMBER: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GLENOID LABRUM AND GLENOID CAVITY
labrum deepens the cavity.
transverse ligament goes from lesser to greater tuberosity and creates a tunnel for what?
tendon of biceps brachii muscle
The GH ligaments reinforce the ___ and ___ joint capsule ; most common point of dislocation is at __ or __ o’clock.
anterior and inferior
4 or 5 - more to do with the mechanism of injury than anything else
Part of coracohumeral ligament blends with tendon of the ____ on lesser tubercle
subscapularis
How does the coracohumeral ligament strengthen the capsule?
Strengthens the superior capsule counteracting downward pull of the arm
Superior and middle GH ligaments assist the coracohumeral ligament in strengthening the capsule how?
counteracting downward pull of arm
The ____ ____ ligament converts the intertubercular groove of humeral head into a tunnel for the tendon of the long head of biceps brachii
transverse humeral ligament
What soft tissue structures are stretched with external rotation?
anterior capsule
GH ligament
What soft tissue structures are stretched with internal rotation?
external rotators
posterior capsule
(no ligaments back there)
What soft tissue structures are stretched with extension?
flexor muscles
anterior capsule
ligaments
How is PROM limited in elevation thru abduction when internally rotated?
180 degrees with no rotation is limited to 120-140 degrees when internally rotated
Why is the scapulothoracic joint not considered a ‘true’ joint?
it represents an articulation between the shoulder blade and the thorax
What is between the scapula and thorax? (4)
bursa
serratus anterior
subscapularis
fascia
How does the scapulothoracic joint provide GH stability?
for overhead work; also prevents impingement
Where does the scapulothoracic joint prevent impingement?
under the acromion - if you can’t rotate acromion out of the way then your greater tuberosity bangs on the acromion and squishes anything in that space
scapulohumeral rhythm is approximately what ratio?
2:1
GH:Scapula
Phase 1 of scapulohumeral rhythm?
Humerus: 30 degrees abduction
Scapula: minimal movement - this is the setting phase
Clavicle: 0-5 degrees
