Upper Extremity Arthrology Flashcards
Sternoclavicular joint 2 bones
- clavicular notch of manubrium
- sternal facet on sternal end of clavicle
Sternoclavicular joint type of joint
- sellar (saddle) synovial joint
- biaxial, false circumduction w/o rotation
- articular capsule
- articular disc
Sternoclavicular joint ligaments
Costoclavicular L
Ant/post sternoclavicular L
Interclavicular L
Acromioclavicular joint 2 bones
- acromio facet on acromial end of clavicle
- facet on the acromion of the scapula
Acromioclavicular joint type of joint
- planar synovial
- uniaxial gliding and sliding
- articular capsule (fibrous capsule, synovial membrane)
- articular disc
Acromioclavicular joint ligaments
1) acromioclavicular L
2) coracoclavicular
A) trapezoid L
B) conoid tubercle L(medial)
Shoulder seperation
Acromioclavicular joint is susceptible to injury and separation
-is capable of separation w/ or w/o rupture of coracoclavicular L
Glenohumeral Joint 2 bones
Glenoid cavity of scapular head
-head of humerus
Glenohumeral Joint type of joint
- spheroidal synovial (ball and socket)
- multiaxial
Glenohumeral Joint bursa
A) subscapular bursa
- between subscapularis T and scapular neck
-communicates with synovial membrane
B) subacromial bursa
-between deltoid M and supraspinatus T and artciular capsule
-DOES NOT usually communicate with synovial membrane
Glenohumeral Joint ligaments
- glenohumeral L
- coracohumeral L
- transverse humeral L (between intertubercular groove on humerus, encapsulates long head of biceps brachii T)
- coracoarcomial arch (acromion, coracoacromial L, coracoid process)
What prevents superior displacement of humerus from glenoid cavity?
Coracoacromial arch
Why is glenohumeral joint susceptible to dislocation?
-because of mobility and relative instability
Which direction does dislocation of glenohumeral joint commonly occur?
- anteriorly or inferiorly
- due to presence of carcoacromial arch
What does a posterior dislocation of the elbow usually tear?
Ulnar collateral L
“Students elbow”/ “dart throwers elbow”/“miners elbow”
Inflammation of subcutaneous olecranon bursa from excessive friction between skin and olecranon
-bicipitoradial bursa can also become inflamed
Nursemaid’s or pulled elbow
- dislocation of radial head from the annular L.
- from pulling arm of child
Proximal radioulnar joint: type
Trochoid synovial (pivot, uniaxial) -pronation and supination
middle radioulnar joint type
Syndesmosis (fibrous)
Distal radioulnar joint type
Trochoid synovial (pivot, uniaxial)
Radiocarpal (wrist joint) bones
- distal end of radius
- articular disc of radioulnar joint
- scaphoid
- lunate
- triquetrum
