Q

Describe the function of the corococlavicular ligament

A

Suspends the coracoid process of scapula from clavicle, this helps to reinforce the acromioclavicular joint

Q

Describe the function of the Corocoacromial ligament

A

forms coracoacromial arch which protects the shoulder joint superiorly and prevents superior displacement of head of humerus

Q

Which shoulder reinforcement closes off the corocoacromial arch? What does this prevent?

40
Q

What are the 2 most common types of shoulder dislocation?

A
