shoulder anatomyy

QuestionAnswer
Kyphosis excessive curvature of the thoracic spine, roundback
Scoliosis one shoulder higher than other, hip differences, head not centered over the pelvis, when patient bends at hip, one side of the back is higher, idiopathic (occurs in some and not others, don’t know why)
Sprengel’s deformity o A congenitally undescended scapula May occur unilaterally or bilaterally A high riding scapula may indicate poorly developed or malformed scapula elevators
acromial end (AC joint): poorly attached to the sternum but___ aided by a disc and ligs
spine of scapula: prominent ridge on the scapula @ level of ___ T3
coracoid process:- approximately one inch from the anterior edge of the clavicle- lies deep under the __ pectoralis major muscle
muscles that insert and are palpable at greater tuberosity supraspinatus infraspinatus teres minor
inserts lesser tuberosity; not palpable, performs internal otation subscapularis
most commonly ruptured, abduction in scapular plane supraspinatus
SIT lie under the __ acromion
extension, adduction, internal rotation teres major
deep to the trapezius Levator Scapulae
palpable towards the coracoid process short head biceps
postural muscles which retract the scapula rhomboids (-major is inferior to minor)
posterior wall of the axilla - inserts into the floor of the bicipital groove Latissimus dorsi
prevents winging of the scapula due to its attachment on the anterior medial aspect of the scapula, not palpable Serratus anterior
loose capsule- twice the size of the humeral head GH Joint and capsule
GH Joint and capsule attches to__ labrum and glenoid rim
GH capsule helps support the joint and when the shoulder is __and __, the capsule becomes tightly wound abducted and externally rotated
helps to deepen the socket by increasing contact surface area enhancing stability, dense fibrous structure labrum
injuries to labrum are often the result of __ glenohumeral instability
covers surface of the glenoid and humeral head-distribute joint leads to minimize local stress-minimize friction and wear between two surfaces articular cartilage
GH ligaments- three ligaments – superior, middle and inferior- lax in normal ROM (not supporting shoulder, only support at extreme range of motion)- prevents ___ extreme ROM “check reins”
limits extension and flexion; limits ext. rotation when arm is at side Coracohumeral ligament
junction of the lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion process Acromioclavicular ligament and joint (AC)
prevents the scapula from being displaced medially, anteriorly and superiorlya strong ligament that prevents the clavicle from being displaced medially, anteriorly, and superiorly-still keeps clavicle in place of AC joint tears Coracoclavicular ligament
Coracoclavicular ligamentdivided into two parts: (medial portion) and Trapezoid (lateral)
connects the acromion process with the coracoid process-may be involved with shoulder impingement Coracoacromial ligament
junction of medial aspect of clavicle and manubrium (sternum) Sternoclavicular ligament and joint (SC)
posterior wall formed by the latissimus dorsi and anterior wall formed by the pectoralis major- check lymph nodes for swelling/tenderness axilla
__and __pass through apex of axilla brachial plexus and axillary artery
above superior supraspinatus tendon; acts as buffer for tendon against acromion process -when inflamed it can lead to impingement Subacromial bursae
as with other bursa, help with lubrication Subdeltoid bursae
posterior wall formed by the latissimus dorsi and anterior wall formed by the pectoralis major- check lymph nodes for swelling/tenderness axilla
