    Study Notes

    Here are the study notes in a concise and organized format:

    Cubitus Varus and Cubitus Valgus

    • Cubitus varus: a deformity where the extended forearm deviates towards the midline of the body
    • Cubitus valgus: a deformity where the elbow is turned in

    Elbow Joint Ligaments

    • Main function: keep articular surfaces in apposition
    • Located on either side of the joint: medial (ulnar) collateral ligament and lateral (radial) collateral ligament
    • Prevent sideways movements and keep half-ring fitted to the pulley
    • Capsule strengthened anteriorly by anterior ligament and oblique anterior ligament

    Elbow Joint Flexor and Extensor Muscles

    • Extension of elbow: depends on triceps brachii, with anconeus exerting minor action
    • Flexor muscles:
      • Brachialis
      • Brachioradialis
      • Biceps brachii (main action is to flex the elbow, also main supinator of the forearm)

      • Posterior sternoclavicular ligament
      • Interclavicular ligament
    • Movement: elevation, depression, protraction, and retraction of clavicle

    Acromioclavicular Joint

    • Articular surfaces: lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion of the scapula

    • Type of joint: synovial plane joint

    • Ligaments:

      • Acromioclavicular ligament
      • Coracoclavicular ligament

    • Movement: slight movement in the joint, but serves as a pivot point for movements of the scapula### Wrist Movements

    • Wrist Flexion: a combined effort of 6 muscles: Flexor Carpi Radialis, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris, Palmaris Longus, Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, Flexor Digitorum Profundus, and Flexor Pollicis Longus

    • Wrist Abduction: a combined effort of Flexor Carpi Radialis, Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus, Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis, and Abductor Pollicis Longus

    Carpometacarpal (CMC) Joint

    • The CMC joint of the thumb is a synovial saddle joint with 3 degrees of freedom
    • Motions include abduction/adduction, flexion/extension, and opposition
    • The joint capsule is thick but loose

    Elbow Joint

    • The position of reference is defined as the position achieved when the axes of the arm and forearm are in a straight line
    • The range of extension is 0°, except in subjects with great laxity of the ligaments, allowing hyperextension of 5° to 10°
    • Active flexion has a range of 145°, and passive flexion has a range of 160°

    Proximal (Superior) Radio-Ulnar Joint

    • This joint is a synovial pivot joint with one type of movement: rotation about the axis of the two cylinders in contact

    Scapular Movements

    • Scapular movements include protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, and rotation
    • Protraction is abduction away from the midline, while retraction is adduction towards the midline
    • Rotation of the scapula occurs around the glenoid cavity and inferior angle
    • Displacement of the inferior angle is 10-12 cm, and that of the lateral angle is 5-6 cm

    • The joint is a ball and socket synovial joint, allowing for multi-axial movements

    Radiocarpal Joint

    • The joint has articular surfaces on the radius and carpal bones
    • The joint has anterior and posterior ligaments, which vary in action depending on the type of movement
    • The joint has a range of abduction and adduction, which is minimal when the wrist is fully flexed or extended, and maximal when the hand is in the plane of reference or slightly flexed

    Elbow Complex

    • The elbow complex contains three bony articulations: humero-ulnar, humero-radial, and proximal radio-ulnar
    • The humero-ulnar and humero-radial joints are typically referred to as the "elbow" joint
    • The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension movements

    Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    • The scapulohumeral rhythm refers to the coordination of scapular and humeral movements

    Rotation of the Shoulder Joint

    • Rotation occurs about the longitudinal axis of the humerus
    • The range of lateral rotation is 80°, and the range of medial rotation is 95°
