Q

What does the clavicle protect? What does this mean?

A

The apex of the lung, the brachial plexus and the major underlying vessels SO all at risk if clavicle is damaged in a fracture for example fragments of bone can damage lungs causing pneumothorax

24
Q

Where does the humerus articulate with the scapula?

A

Glenohumeral joint

25
Q

What is a tuberosity and what bone has it?

A

Protuberance for muscle tendons to attach to

Humerus - greater tuberosity is larger and anterior, lesser tuberosity,

26
Q

What separates the tuberosities

A

Bicipital groove/inter-tubicular groove which tendon form coracoid process runs through

27
Q

What are the 3 main joints in the shoulder?

A

Sternoclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
Glenohumeral Joint

28
Q

What structures meet at the sternoclavicular joint?

A

Manubrium of the sternum, clavicle, 1st costal cartilage

29
Q

What is the strongest joint and the weakest joint?

A

Strongest - sternoclavicular

Weakest - Glenohumeral joint

30
Q

What ligaments are in the sternoclavicular joint?

A

Costoclavicular ligament
Anterior sternoclavicular ligament
Interclavicular ligament

31
Q

What does the costoclavicular ligament attach?

A

The sternoclavicular joint to the 1st rib limiting its movement

32
Q

Why does the sternoclavicular joint have limited movement?

A

Costoclavicular ligament joins sternoclavicular joint to 1st rib

33
Q

What is the role of the interarticular disc?

A

Holds the manubrium and the clavicle together and closely packs them, made up of fibrous tissue

34
Q

What structures make up the acromioclavicular joint?

A

Acromion and clavicle

35
Q

Where is the acromioclavicular joint found?

A

2-3cm from the point of the shoulder

36
Q

What is special about the acromioclavicular joint?

A

No muscles cross it and instead it is moved by the muscles of the scapula

37
Q

How strong is the acromioclavicular joint?

A

stronger than glenohumeral joint but weaker than sternoclaviular joint

38
Q

What movement can occur in the acromioclavicular joint? What muscles cause them?

A

Related to scapula movements:
depression (gravity)
elevation (trapezium)
Protraction (serratous anterior and pectoralis minor)
Retraction (trapezium)
Upward rotation (trapezium and serratous anterior)
Downward rotation (latissimus dorsi)

39
Q

What is special about the latissimus dorsi?

A

It is the only muscle which moves both the upper and lower limb

40
Q

What structures make up the glenohumeral joint?

A

Glenoid cavity and the humerus head

41
Q

What is the glenoid labrum? What is its role? How does it work?

A

Shallow glenoid cavity which is deepened by the fibrocartilage ring. Forms a suction cup to hold the humerus head inside the cavity, thin film of synovial fluid between the humerus and the glenoid cavity creates surface tension

42
Q

What is the weakest joint in the body?

A

Glenohumeral joint

43
Q

How is there such a large freedom of movement at the glenohumeral joint?

A

Loose fibrous joint capsule, baggy with lots of space around the humerus head

44
Q

What movements can occur at the glenohumeral joint and by which muscles?

A

Flexion - deltoid (anterior part), pectoralis major, coracobrachialis stabilises the joint
Extension - latissimus dorsi, deltoid (posterior part), teres major, triceps brachi stabilise joint
Abduction - deltoid (all of it), supraspinatus for the last 10 degree
Adduction - latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, mainly gravity
Medial and lateral rotation - subscapularis, suprasniatus, infraspinatus, teres minor

45
Q

Why Is the supraspinatus at risk of damage?

A

As goes under the acromion

46
Q

Where are the rotator cuff muscles and what do they do?

A

Form musculotendinous cuff around the glenohumeral joint which blends with articular capsule
Attach to the greater and lesser tuberosity
Contract and hold large humerous head in shallow glenoid cavity

47
Q

What happens at the scapulothoracic joint?

A

Head of the humerus uses articular surface for 90 degree turn and the remainder is from scapula rotation using th serratus anterior and trapezium

48
Q

For every 15 degree shoulder abduction how much does the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints contribute?

A

Glenhomueral - 15 degrees and scapulothoracic 5 degrees

49
Q

In a 180 degree turn how much of the turn occurs where?

A

glenohumeral - 120 degrees, scapulothoracic - 60 degrees

50
Q

What movements does scratching your back form the top use?

A

External rotation and abduction

51
Q

What movements does scratching your back form the side/bottom use?

A

Internal rotation and adduction

52
Q

What is a bursa?

A

Extension of a joint cavity

53
Q

What is the role of bursa?

A

Act as cushions to reduce friction

54
Q

What is the risk of bursa?

A

Bursa can become inflamed and damaged which would damage the tendon underneath

55
Q

What is an example of bursitis?

A

Subacromial bursa - pain and inflammation on abduction of the arm

56
Q

Which joint is most likely dislocated?

A

Glenohumeral

57
Q

What are the movements in a glenohumeral dislocation?

A

joint fully abducted tilting head of humerus inferiorly onto weaker part of joint
Stronger flexor and adductor muscles pull humeral head anteriorly
Gravity pulls humerus inferiorly so rounded profile of the shoulder is lost

58
Q

What happens to the glenoid labrum in a glenohumeral dislocation?

A

Stripped from anterior aspect of glenoid cavity making the joint weaker

59
Q

How might an axillary nerve injury occur? What does this result in?

A

From glenohumeral dislocation as axillary nerve has close relationship with inferior part of glenohumeral joint
Innervates the deltoid so abduction is impaired
Loss of sensation over regimental badge
