glenoid cavity,

Three joints or articulations are involved in the shoulder girdle:

sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, and scapulo-humeral joint

The three shoulder girdle joints (articulations) classified as

synovial joints

The mobility type of all three shoulder girdle joints

these joints is freely movable, or diarthrodial.

What shoulder joint involves articulation between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula.

The scapulohumeral (glenohumeral)

scapulohumeral (glenohumeral) or shoulder joints movement type is a

ball-and-socket (spheroidal) joint, which allows great freedom of movement.

scapulohumeral (glenohumeral) or shoulder joint movements include

include flexion, extension, abduction, adduc-tion, circumduction, and medial (internal) and lateral (external) rotation.

is shallow, allowing the greatest freedom in mobility of any joint in the human body but at some expense to its strength and stability.

glenoid cavity

The shoulder girdle also includes two joints involving both ends of the clavicle, called the

sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints.

sternoclavicular joint is a __, joint because the sternal end of the clavicle articulates with the manu-brium or upper portion of the sternum and the cartilage of the first rib.

double plane, or gliding

The acromioclavicular joint is also a __, movement type between the acromial end of the clavicle and the medial aspect of the acromion of the scapula.

small synovial joint of the plane, or gliding

acromioclavicular joint has 2 movement types

The primary movement is a **gliding** action between the end of the clavicle and the acromion. Some secondary **rotary** movement also occurs as the scapula moves forward and backward with the clavicle. This movement allows the scapula to adjust its position as it remains in close contact with the posterior chest wall.

Rotational views of the proximal humerus or shoulder girdle, these AP rotational projections delineate well the

scapulohumeral joint (shoulder joint), revealing possible calcium deposits or other pathology

The external rotation position of the humerus represents a

true AP projection of the humerus in the anatomic position, as determined by the epi-condyles of the distal humerus.

is a disability of the shoulder joint that is caused by chronic inflammation in and around the joint. It is characterized by pain and limitation of motion. (Idiopathic means of unknown cause.)

Idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

is a disability of the shoulder joint that is caused by chronic inflammation in and around the joint. It is characterized by pain and limitation of motion. (Idiopathic means of unknown cause.)

Idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

is impingement of the greater tuberosity and soft tissues on the coracoacromial ligamentous and osseous arch, generally during abduction of the arm.

Impingement syndrome

is a noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation. DJD is the most common type of arthritis and is considered part of the normal aging process. It generally occurs in persons older than 50 years, chronically bariatric persons, and

Osteoarthritis also called degenerative joint disease (DJD),

occurs in postmenopausal women and elderly men, resulting in bony trabeculae that are scanty and thin. Most fractures sustained by women older than 50 years are related to.

Osteoporosis

is a chronic systemic disease characterized by inflammatory changes that occur throughout the connective tissues of the body. The inflammation begins in synovial membranes and can later involve the articular cartilage and bony cortex. occurs more frequently in women than men. Radiographic evidence includes loss of joint space, destruction of cortical bone, and bony

Rheumatoid (ru-ma-toyd) arthritis (RA)

is an acute or a chronic traumatic injury to one or more of the rotator cuff muscles: teres minor, supraspi-natus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. Rotator cuff injuries limit the range of motion of the shoulder. The most common injury is impingement of the supraspinatus tendon as it passes beneath the acromion, caused by a subacromial bone spur. Repeated irritation associated with the bone spur can lead to a partial or complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon, as evident on MRI and sonographic examination of the

Rotator cuff pathology

is traumatic removal of the humeral head from the glenoid cavity. 95% are ante-rior, in which the humeral head is projected anterior to the glenoid

Shoulder dislocation

is an inflammatory condition of the tendon that usually results from a strain.

If you choose to use the AC joint to identify the shoulder joint, go

2 inches (5 cm) inferior to the AC joint and ½ inch (1.25 cm) medial to locate the scapulohumeral joint.

Specific guidelines should be followed when digital imaging systems are used for imaging the humerus and shoulder girdle.

1. Collimation field size: 2. Accurate centering 3. Exposure factors 4. Postprocessing evaluation of exposure indicator:

sometimes is used to image soft tissue pathologies such as rotator cuff tears associated with the shoulder girdle.

Arthrography

refers to trauma to the upper shoulder region resulting in a partial or complete tear of the AC or coracoclavicu-lar (CC) ligament or both ligaments.

AC joint separation

__ joint injuries represent nearly half of all athletic shoulder injuries, often resulting from a fall onto the tip of the shoulder with the arm in addiction

refers to an injury in which the distal clavicle is usually displaced superiorly. This injury most commonly is caused by a fall and is more common in children than adults.?

Acromioclavicular dislocation

is an injury of the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid labrum. This type of injury is often caused by anterior dislocation of the proximal humerus. Repeated dislocation may result in a small avulsion fracture in the anteroinferior region of the glenoid rim.

Bankart lesion

is an inflammation of the bursae, or fluid-filled sacs enclosing the joints. The shoulder is the most common joint to develop bursitis, with repetitive motion being the most common cause. However, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, and infection can also produce bursitis? It generally involves the formation of calcification in associated tendons, causing pain and limitation of joint movement.

Bursitis (ber-sy-tis)

is a compression fracture of the articular surface of the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head that is often associated with an anterior dislocation of the humeral head.
