Shoulder Girdle Flashcards
it is formed by the two bones
shoulder girdle
two bones that forms the shoulder girdle
clavicle
scapula
their function is to connect the upper limb to the trunk
shoulder girdle
it is classified as a long bone, has a body and two articular extremities
clavicle
clavicle lies in a __________ oblique plane just above the 1st rib and forms the anterior part of the shoulder girdle
horizontal
the lateral aspect which articulates with the acromion process of the scapula
acromial extremity
the medial aspect which articulates with the manubrium of the sternum and the 1st costal cartilage
sternal extremity
it is classified as a flat bone, forms the posterior part of the shoulder girdle
scapula
triangular in shape with 2 surfaces, 3 borders and 3 angles
scapula
it is lying on the superoposterior thorax between the 2nd and 7th ribs
scapula
the proximal end of the humerus consists of the:
head
anatomic neck and surgical neck
two prominent processes
articulation between the glenoid cavity and head of the humerus that forms a synovial ball and socket joint allowing movement in all directions
scapulohumeral articulation
articulation between the acromion process of scapula and the acromial extremity of the clavicle, forms the synovial gliding joint, permits both gliding and rotary movement
acromioclavicular articulation
rotary movements
elevation
depression
protraction
retraction
articulation formed by the sternal extremity of the clavicle with two bones: manubrium and 1st rib cartilage
this is a synovial double gliding joint, the movement is similar to ball and socket joint
sternoclavicular articulation
AP projection that is the greater tubercle of the humerus and the site of insertion of the supraspinatus tendon are visualized
external
AP projection when the posterior part of the supraspinatus insertion, which sometimes profiles small calcific deposit not otherwise visualized
neutral
AP projection that the proximal humerus is seen in a true lateral position
internal
AP projection where humeral head in profile and greater tubercle in profile on the lateral aspect of the humerus
external rotation
AP projection that is greater tubercle partially superimposing the humeral head, humeral head in partial profile and slight overlap of the humeral head on the glenoid cavity
neutral rotation
AP projection where lesser tubercle in profile and pointing medially
internal rotation
it is used when trauma exist and the arm cannot rotated or abducted because of an injury
transthoracic lateral - lawrence method
an exaggerated external rotation of the arm is required. With the same position as Lawrence, externally rotate the extended arm until the hand forms a 45 degree oblique with the thumb pointing downward. Assist the patient to avoid overstressing the joint
rafert modification
compression fracture on the posterolateral humeral head maybe seen using Rafert
