Insertion: greater tuberosity of humerus
Innervation: axillary n. (C5,C6)
What is the function of teres minor?
Externally rotates the arm
What is the origin, insertion and innervation of subscapularis?
Origin: anterior surface of scapula
Insertion: lesser tuberosity of humerus/shoulder capsule
Innervation: upper and lower subscapular n.
What is the function of subscapularis?
Internally rotates the arm
What is the origin, insertion and innervation of deltoid?
Origin: clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Insertion: deltoid tuberosity on lateral aspect of humerus
Innervation: axillary n.
What is the function of deltoid?
Abducts the arm
What is the origin, insertion and innervation for biceps brachii?

Insertion: tuberosity of radius
Innervation: musculocutaneous n.
What is the function of biceps brachii?
Flexes the elbow
Supinates forearm
What is biceps brachii susceptible to?
Tendonitis
In the elbow joint - what part are kids likely to fracture?
Supracondylar region - bone is thinner
What three ligaments are involved in the elbow joint?

What is the site of insertion for all of the extensor muscles of the forearm?
Lateral epicondyle
What is the lateral epicondyle susceptible to?
Enthesiopathies
What is the site of insertion for all of the flexor muscles of the forearm?
Medial epicondyle
What can be said about breaks in the forearm?
If there is a break in one place there will also be a break somewhere else.
What type of fracture is described as a dinner fork deformity?
Distal radius fracture
What group of muscles move the thumb?
