What is in an articular capsule?
fibrous capsule
synovial membrane
What is an articular capsule and where is it found?
membrane that surrounds a joint
in all synovial joints
What are the ligaments in the sternoclavicular joint?
anterior sternoclavicular L.
posterior sternoclavicular L.
Interclavicular L.
What type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint?
Planar synovial
btw acromial end of clavicle and facet on the acromion of the scapulA
What are the ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint?
acromioclavicular L.
coracoclavicular L. = trapezoid L. and Conoid L.
What joint is “shoulder separation” injuring?
acromioclavicular joint
can occur with or without rupture of the coracoclavicularr L.
What type of joint is the glenohumeral joint?
spheroidal synovial (ball in socket)
What is the glenoid labrum?
ring of cartilage that surrounds and deepens glenoid cavity
What are the ligaments on the glenohumeral joint?
glenohumeral L.
coracohumeral L.
Transverse humeral L.
coracoacromial L. (not technically on the joint, but the arch is important here)
What direction does the shoulder typically dislocate? Why is this?
inferior and anterior
due to coracoacromial arch/ligament
What type of joint is the elbow?
ginglymus synovial (hinge)
What are the ligaments in the humeroulnar joint?
ulnar collateral L =
anterior band
posterior band
oblique band
What is the ligament in the humeroradial joint?
radial collateral L.

What are the 3 olecranon bursae?
subtendinous
intratendinous
subcutatneous
What is miner’s elbow/student’s elbow/dart thrower’s elbow?
subcutaneous olecranon bursitis resulting from excessive friction btw the skin and the olecranon
What is the ligament in the proximal radioulnar joint?
annular ligament: extends around radius and inserts and originates on ulna to hold radius into place
What type of joint is the proxial radioulnar joint?
trochoid synovial
What is nursemaid’s elbow?
dislocation of radial head out of annular L.
