Study Notes
Shoulder Joint Anatomy and Physiology
- Sternoclavicular joint allows downward rotation, with concave and convex articular surfaces
- Supportive ligaments include sternoclavicular, interclavicular, and costoclavicular ligaments
- Joint movements include elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, and rotation of the clavicle
- Acromioclavicular joint is a planar synovial joint with subtle movement
- Ligaments of the AC joint include acromioclavicular, trapezoid, and conoid ligaments
- Glenohumeral joint is a ball and socket synovial joint with three degrees of freedom
- Glenoid labrum deepens the glenoid cavity to make articular surfaces congruent
- GH joint capsule attaches to the glenoid cavity and anatomical neck of humerus
- GH joint ligaments include capsular, transverse humeral, and coracohumeral ligaments
- Coracoacromial arch is formed by the smooth inferior aspect of the acromion and coracoid processes
- Rotator cuff muscles are fused to the joint capsule, except for the biceps
- Bursae around the GH joint, including subscapular, subacromial, and subdeltoid bursae, protect underlying tendons and muscles
