Sternoclavicular joint- between sternum and clavicle.
14
WHat is the function of the rotator cuff muscles?
The resting tone of these muscles acts to pull the humeral head into the glenoid fossa
15
What are the axillary region borders and contents?
Axilla borders:
Anterior: pectoralis major and minor
Posterior: subscapularis, teres major, and latissumus dorsi
Medial: serratus anterior, thoracic wall (ribs)
Lateral: intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Apex: lateral border of rib 1, superior border of scapula,
and posterior border of
clavicle
Floor: axillary fascia and skin
Contents: axillary vessels, cords and nerves of the brachial
plexus, lymph nodes
(pathway to breast and upper limb)
16
What are the parts of the axillary artery? What muscles seperares these into separates parts?
Some times life seems a pain


Suprathoracic
Thoraco-acromial
Lateral thoracic
Subscapular
Anterior circumflex of humerous
Posterior circumflex of humerous

Separated by the pectoralis MINOR (I, II, III)
17
Colles fracture
fracture of the lower end of the radius with posterior
displacement of the
distal fragment and radial deviation of the hand at the wrist
- dinner fork deformity
18
Smith fracture
same as smith except velar deviation
19
Bartons
dislocation of distal raidcarpal joint
20
Scaphoid fraction:
from fall of aBDucted outstretched hand
- complications- a vascular necrosis
21
Lunate dislocation from fall on aDDucted hand. Lunate dislocates
anteriorly
complications- carpal tunnel syndrome, a vascular necrosis
22
Draw out brachial plexsus
23
What type of damage is there if there is a fracture of the medial epicondyle?
Potential damage to ulnar nerve and ulnar artery
24
What part of the brachial plexus do upper trunk injuries impact?
The anterior and posterior divisions
25
What are the loss of functions seen with upper brachial plexus injury?
Loss of abduction, external rotation, flexion of elbow and extension of wrist
26
Which nerves are most effected by upper brachial plexsus injury?
Axillary c5, c6
Suprascapular C4, 5, 6
Radial C5, C6, C7, C8
27
What 6 muscles are impacted by upper brachial plexsus injury?
Supraspinatus, infraspinatous, biceps, coracobrachialis, deltoid, and teres minor
28
Which two symptoms are commonly seen with upper brachioplexsus injury?
(1) Waiter's tip position = extremity hands in medial rotation with wrist in flexion
(2) Unable to touch opposite should due to lat pectoral nerve issue
29
What is the main cause of middle brachial plexsus injury and what is impaired?
Interscalene anesthesia
-Adduction, abduction, extension and lat rotation
30
What is Djerine-Klumpke Paralysis? What causes it? What nerves are effected? What is the common symptom?
Lower brachial plexsus injury
Caused by SHOULDER DISLOCATION

-Leads to ulnar nerve problems. Causes CLAW hand and inability to adduct (issues with medial pec)
31
What are the two posterior cord injuries?
(1) Radial Nerve Injury: (C5-C8) Saturday night palsy"- Wrist DROP
(2) Axillary Nerve Injury: C5-C6 Dislocation at the shoulder joint brak to surgical neck of humerous (issues with deltoid and teres minor)
32
What type of damage occurs if there is a fracture to the surgical neck of humerous?
Damage to axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery
33
WHat type of damage is there if there is a midshaft fracture?
Damage to radial nerve and produnda brachii
34
What type of damage is there is there is a suprcondylar fracture?
Damage to artery and median nerve
35
What type of damage is there if there is a fracture of the medial epicondyle?
Potential damage to ulnar nerve and ulnar artery
36
