clavicle |
"collar bone" connects arm to trunk most commonly broken bone because it is the 1st bone to completely ossify |
|
Broken clavicle |
lost of support of upper limb arm drops medially across chest |
|
acromioclavicular ligament (AC) |
scapula + clavicle |
|
coracoclavicular ligament (CC) |
holds weight of scapula trapezoid + conoid ligaments |
|
separated shoulder |
cause: torn/stretched CC ligament shoulder drops medially across chest |
|
glenoid fossa |
shoulder joint |
|
dislocated shoulder |
cause: blow to head of humerus pushes head sown and out of glenoid fossa (antero-inferiorly) |
|
Acromion |
"tip of shoulder" |
|
trapezius |
laterally rotates scapula elevates shoulder innervated by spinal accessory nerve |
|
Deltoid |
flexion and extension of humerus primary abductor of humerus innervated by axillary nerve |
|
Rotator cuff |
Supraspinatus - abduction (suprascapular n.) Infraspinatus - lat. rotation (suprascapular n.) Teres minor - lat. rotation (axillary n.) Subscapularis - medially rotation (upper and lower subscapular n.) |
|
serratus anterior |
holds scapula to rib cage long thoracic nerve |
|
latissimus dorsi |
extensor of humerus thoracodorsal nerve |
|

axillary nerve radial nerve thoracodorsal nerve upper and lower subscapular |
|
Axillary nerve |
deltoid teres minor |
|
radial nerve |
triceps posterior forearm muscles of thumb |
|
lateral cord |
musculocutaneous nerve lateral root of median nerve |
|
musculocutaneous nerve |
muscles of anterior arm |
|
Lower trunk (C8-T1) |
medial cord ulnar nerve median nerve |
|
Median nerve |
anterior forearm thenar eminence lumbricals 1 and 2 index and middle fingers |
|
ulnar nerve |
palmar and dorsal interossei lumbricals 3 and 4 little and ring finger adduction of thumb |
|
blood supply of axilla |
subclavian a. --> axillary a. --> brachial a. |
|
Axillary artery |
2nd division: lateral thoracic -- supply breast 3rd division: subscapular a. |
|
subscapular artery |
thoracodorsal -- scapula anterior circumflex -- head of humerus posterior circumflex -- scapula |
|
Anterior arm muscles |
flex and supinate arm innervated by musculocutaneous nerve |
|
biceps brachii |
chief supinator major flexor of forearm |
|
Biceps tendon reflex test |
tests C5-C6 |
|
Posterior arm muscles |
extension of forearm triceps brachii innervated by radial nerve |
|
triceps tendon reflex test |
tests C7-C8 |
|
Cubital fossa |
median nerve medial cubital vein radial nerve brachial artery becomes radial and ulnar arteries |
|
Anterior forearm muscles |
flex, abduct, adduct hand flexors of digits pronate forearm innervated by median nerve |
|
Posterior forearm muscles |
supinates forearm extend, adduct, abduct hand extends digits adducts thumb innervated by radial nerve |
|
Anatomical snuffbox |
bones and tendons (scaphoid) radial nerve radial artery |
|
FOOSH fall on out stretched hand |
impacts absorbed by middle finger may break scaphoid and even radius diagnosed by applying pressure to snuffbox |
|
Carpals |
8 carpal bones scaphoid and lunate -- move against radius |
|
movements of wrist joint |
flexion, extension, abduction and adduction of hand |
|
metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints |
metacarpal and phalanges FEAA of proximal phalanx |
|
interphalangeal (IP) joints |
between phalanges flexion and extension of most distal phalanx |
|
Erb's palsy (waiter's tip shoulder) |
cause: excessive traction that separates head an shoulder injury to muscles innervated by C5-C6 -- rotator cuff, deltoid, biceps symptoms: can't flex elbow, hand pronated, atrophy of deltoid, contraction of pec major |
|
Klumpke's palsy |
cause: strong pull upward on arm injury to lower trunk (C8-T1) and ulnar nerve cause claw hand |
|
Carpal tunnel |
9 tendons median nerve (ulnar nerve and artery pass outside) |
|
carpal tunnel syndrome |
cause: entrapment/compression of median n. pain and sensory deficits -> motor deficits with dysfunction of thenar eminence |
|
thenar eminence |
