Upper Extremity Arthrology Flashcards
Shoulder Girdle
Manubrium, clavicle, scapula, and humerus
Sternoclavicular joint
Sellar synovial
Articular capsule: fibrous, synovial membrane
Articular disc
Costoclavicular L: from clavicle to 1st rib
Anterior sternoclavicular L.
Posterior sternoclavicular L.
Interclavicular L.: above manubrium from clavicle on one side to clavicle on the other
Acromioclavicular joint
Planar synovial
Between acromion of scapula and clavicle
Articular capsule: fibrous, synovial membrane
Articular disc
Acromioclavicular L.: from acromion to clavicle
Coracoclavicular L.: from coracoid process to clavicle; contains the trapezoid L. and conoid L.
Superior transverse scapular L.
Coracoclavicular L.
Part of the Acromioclavicular Joint
Trapezoid L.: nearly horizontal band from trapezoid line to coracoid process; lateral to conoid L.
Conoid L.: vertical, from conoid tubercle to coracoid process; medial to trapezoid L.
Glenohumeral joint
Spheroidal synovial Between glenoid cavity of scapula and head of humerus Glenoid labrum Articular capsule Glenohumeral L. Coracohhumeral L. Transverse Humeral L. Coracoacromial arch: coracoacromial L., acromion, coracoid process; prevents humerus from dislocating superiorly
Articular capsule of glenohumeral L.
Fibrous: allows passage for long head of biceps brachii T. and communication with subscapular bursa
Synovial membrane: allows communication with subscapular bursa
Bursae of glenohumeral joint
Subscapular
Subacromial
Glenohumeral L.
From glenoid labrum and supragenoid tubercle to anatomical neck of humerus
Coracohumeral L.
From coracoid process of scapula to anterior edge of greater tubercle of humerus
Transverse Humeral L.
From greater Humeral tubercle to lesser Humeral tubercle spanning the intertubercular groove
Where does dislocation of the glenohumeral joint normally occur?
Anteriorly and inferiorly due to coracoacromial arch
Elbow joint
Ginglymus synovial Between Humeral condole, trochlear notch of the ulna, and radial head Articular capsule Humeroulnar joint Humeroradial joint
Humeroulnar joint
Trochlear notch of ulna raping around Humeral trochlea
Ulnar collateral L. Of the elbow: from medial Humeral epicondyle to the Coronoid process of the ulna and olecrenon; anterior, posterior, and oblique band
Humeroradial Joint
Humeral capitulum articulating with the fovea of the radial head
Radial collateral L.: from the lateral Humeral epicondyle to blend with the annular L. Of the radial head
Bursae of the elbow joint
limit friction
Olecrenon bursae
Subcutaneous bursa of the medial Humeral epicondyle
Subcutaneous bursa of the lateral Humeral epicondyle
Bursae of the aconeus
Bursa at origin of extensor Capri radialis brevis
Olecrenon bursae
Subtendinous olecrenon bursa: between triceps brachii T. And olecrenon
Intratendinous olecrenon bursa: inside triceps brachii T.
Subcutaneous olecrenon bursa: in the subcutaneous CT over the olecrenon
Radioulnar joint
3 different articulation between radius and ulna Compound joint Proximal radioulnar joint Middle radioulnar joint Distal radioulnar joint
Proximal radioulnar joint
Trochoid synovial
Supination and pronation
Articular capsule
Annular L. From coronoid process of the ulna around the radial head to insert back on the ulna, holding the radial head in the radial notch
Middle radioulnar joint
Syndesmosis fibrous joint
Oblique cord: coronoid process of ulna and radial body
Interosseus membrane: between length of ulna and radius
Distal radioulnar joint
Trochoid synovial
Between head of ulna and ulnar notch of radius laterally and the articular disc inferiorly
Articular capsule
Radiocarpal (wrist) joint
Condylar synovial
Between the distal end of the radius, plus the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum bones
Parts of the radiocarpal joint
Articular capsule
Articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint
Palmar radiocarpal L: two bands-one from the radius across the scaphoid to the lunate, the other from the radius to the capitate
Dorsal radiocarpal L.
Palmar ulnocarpal L.
Dorsal ulnocarpal L.
Radial collateral L. Of the wrist: from radial styloid process to scaphoid
Ulnar collateral L. Of the wrist: from ulnar styloid process to scaphoid
