Sternoclavicular Joint
- Fairly stable modified saddle joint
- Fibrocartilagenous disc
- Dislocations uncommon but can be dangerous with brachiocephalic veins right behind manubrium
- Only boney attachment from apenedicular to axial skeleton
Sternoclavicular Ligaments
-Bind clavicle to the manubrium on both the anterior and posterior surfaces
Interclavicular Ligament
-Binds the medial surfaces of both the left and the clavicles to each other
Costoclavicular Ligament
- Binds the clavicle to the first rib
- Branches of the brachial plexus can get trapped under there causing pain and muscle weakness
Sternoclavicular Joint (Innervation)
- Subclavius Nerve
- Supraclavicular nerve (C3, C4)
Sternoclavicular Joint (Blood Supply)
- Suprascapular
- Internal Thoracic
Acromioclavicular Joint
- Planar type joint
- Acromion to lateral end of the clavicle
- Ligaments are the main stabilizing force
Acromioclavicular Ligament
-Binds clavicle to the acromion
Coracoclavicular Ligaments
- Bind coracoid process with scapula
- Made of two parts
Conoid Ligaments
-Part of the coracoclavicular ligaments
Trapezoid Ligaments
-Part of the coracoclavicular ligaments
Acromioclavicular Joint (Innervation)
- Suprascapular
- Lateral Pectoral
Acromioclavicular Joint (Blood Supply)
- Suprascapular
- Thoracoacromial (Clavicular, acromion)
Glenohumeral Joint
- Most mobile joint
- Ball and socket synovial joint
Coracoacromial Ligament
- Coracoid process and to the acromion
- Prevents upward dislocation
Coracohumeral ligament
- Strengthens superior portion of the capsule
- Resists excessive abduction
Transverse Humeral Ligament
-Tendon of the long head of biceps in the bicipital groove
Superior Glenohumeral Ligaments
-Over the humeral head to the depression above the lesser tuberosity
Middle Glenohumeral Ligament
- In front of the lesser tuberosity
- Most common dislocation
Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament
- Lower part of the anterior neck
- Key stabilizer of the anterior shoulder and weakness of the ligament often leads to anterior glenohumeral instability
Glenoid Labrum
- Rim of fibrocartilage attaching to the outer rim of the glenoid fossa
- Superior attachment of the labrum includes the supraglenoid tubercle and the origin of the biceps long head tendon
- Deepens the articulation between the head of the humerous and the glenoid fossa
- Tears often associated with genohumeral dislocations
Capsule of the shoulder joint
-Very thin and lax
Subscapular Bursa
- Between the muscle and the neck of the scapula
- Communicates with the shoulder joint
Subacromial/ Subdeltoid
- Inferior to the acromion and extending distally to area deep to the deltoid
- Superficial to supraspinatous
- Normally doesn’t communicate with the joint
