Joints of the Upper Limb

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Saddle type joint; only joint between upper limb and axial skeleton; clavicle holds up upper limb away from chest  
🗑
show Anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments; COSTOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT (main support of joint)  
🗑
Where is the acromioclavicular joint?   show
🗑
What is the coracoclavicular ligament?   show
🗑
What is the acromioclavicular dislocation? What causes it?   show
🗑
What is the articulation of the shoulder joint?   show
🗑
show rim of fribocartilage surrounding the glenoid cavity  
🗑
Where is the articular surface of the glenohumeral joint weakest?   show
🗑
show Anterior thickenings of the capsule to strengthen the capsule ANTERIORLY  
🗑
* * What muuscle tendon provides support to the shoulder superiorly, posteriorly, anteriorly, and inferiorly?   show
🗑
What structure prevents superior displacement of the head of the humerus?   show
🗑
* * What muscles are responsible for flexion of the shoulder joint?   show
🗑
show Posterior deltoid, latissiumus dorsi, teres major  
🗑
show supraspinatus and middle deltoid  
🗑
show pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major AND teres minor  
🗑
show infraspinatus, teres minor, posterior deltoid  
🗑
show Subscapularis, latissimus dorsi, teres major, anterior dltoid, pectoralis major  
🗑
show Combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, lateral rotatio, and medial rotation  
🗑
show Sudden violence applied to humerus when joint is fully abducted-->inferior part of capsule tears and humeral head is displaced inferior to glenoid cavity; axillary nerve  
🗑
show Rare; caused by sudden direct violence to front of joint capsule; results in subglenoid displacement of the humeral head into quadrangular space; can hurt axillary nerve (paralysis of deltoid and loss of skin sensation over lower half of deltoid)  
🗑
show impingement and tendinopathy; supraspinatus, as it passes BENEATH acromion and acromioclavicular ligament  
🗑
show IMPINGEMENT  
🗑
Recurrent inflammation of the subquadrangular space of the tendon causes degeneration which may result in calcium deposition and extreme paiN; this is known as...   show
🗑
show Extreme pain during abduction; patients may also have inflammation in subacromial bursa, making pain worse  
🗑
show The trochlea (ulna) and the capitulum (head of radius); it is a synovial hinge joint  
🗑
What bones articulate at the proximal radioulnar joint?   show
🗑
show Supination and pronation  
🗑
What attaches the margins of the radial notch, forming a collar around the head of the radius?   show
🗑
show Sudden lifting of a young child by one arm when it is pronated, causing tearing of the annular ligament; radial head moves distally partially out of ANULAR ligament  
🗑
What bones are involved in the distal radioulnar joint? What motions are allowed?   show
🗑
show Triangular shaped disc composed of fibrocartilage; chief support uniting the distal radius and ulna; SEPARATES THE ULNA FROM THE WRIST JOINT  
🗑
show The distal radius and the articular disc: scaphoid, lunate, and triquetral; ellipsoid type of synovial joint  
🗑
What prevents the wrist joint from abducting laterally?   show
🗑
