Unit 2 Flashcards
Glenohumeral joint
Lax, most loose one arm is by the side. Capsule tightens with 90° abduction and 90° external rotation.
Acromioclavicular joint
Stabilize clavicle, 3° of freedom, made up of three ligaments. Acromioclavicular, coracoacromial, and Coracoclavicular (2)
Sternoclavicular joint
- Only bony attachment of the arm to the body
- resists, posterior rotation of the clavicle,
- 3° of freedom for elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, posterior/anterior rotation.
- Three ligaments: anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments, costoclavicular, interclavicular.
Scapulothoracic joint
Functional joint, upward rotation, between the ribs and anterior scapula
Synovial joint
Bones meet cartilage, has articular cartilage, synovial membrane
Functional joint
No joint cavity, held by soft tissues
Glenoid labrum
O, ring of fibrocartilage, with glenoid that deepens pocket. Connects to the long head of the bicep, pear-shaped with the tip of the pair facing anteriorly. Use his clock analogy.
Bursa
Synovial membrane protrude through fibrous membrane to form bursa between two tendons
Anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligament
Resists, excessive anterior and posterior motion of clavicle
Costoclavicular ligament
Assist with clavicular, elevation, and superior glide
Interclavicular ligament
Assists with Depression, in downward glide of sternum and clavicle
Acromioclavicular ligament
Stabilizes AC joint
Coracoacromial ligament
Roof of subacromial space
Coracoclavicular ligament
Guides clavicular rotation.
Made up of trapezoid and conoid.
Trapezoid: guides clavicle during rotation
Conoid: piano key, triangular shaped, prevents vertical displacement
Scapulohumeral rhythm
ST: upward rotation
GH: externally rotate for greater tubercle to clear acromion
Clavicle: elevates and rotates backwards
- Initial phase: 30° of abduction with no ST motion only humerus
- Mid phase: 30 to 120°, GH & SC move 1:1. First 30° of ST movement needs clavicular elevation, second 30° of ST movement needs 50° of clavicular posterior rotation.
- Last phase: 120 to 180°. GH 2-3:1 ST.
Suprascapular nerve entrapment
Flows through suprascapular notch under Transversus ligament (suprascapular artery does not). Leads to weakness and atrophy to supraspinatus and infraspinatus, in the order.
Can lead to hypertrophy or athletic.
Subacromial space entrapment
Under acromion, possible entrapment site for suprascapular nerve
Scalene block
Ultrasound, scalene and brachial plexus to give anesthesia to upper extremity during surgery
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Not common, presents as upper extremity signs and symptoms
1. Between anterior and posterior scalene
2. Underneath pec minor
3. Between clavicle, and first rib.
4. Upper extremity and hyper abduction.
5. Cervical rib.
Radial tunnel syndrome
Radial nerve entrapment, supinator entrapment
Cubital tunnel syndrome
Numbness of fourth and fifth digits due to pressure on ulnar nerve in cubital tunnel, requires ulnar nerve reassignment
Acromion types
Flat, curved, hooked: can cause damage to muscle, or entrapment, shaved during rotator cuff surgery
Order of rotator cuff tear
Sits
Supraspinatus tendon tear types
- Articular side tear: underside of tendon
- Bursal side tear: top side of tendon.
- Full thickness, tear.
