Scapula x8

Acromion (superior)


Coracoid process (anterior)


Glenoid fossa with infra and supraglenoid tubercles


Posteriorly, the spine separates supraspinousand infraspinous fossae


Anteriorly, the subscapular fossa takes up mostof the surface


3 angles – inferior, superior and lateral


3 borders – lateral, medial and superior


2 surfaces – costal and posterior

Clavicle x3

2 curves – the larger curve is medial· Articulates with the manubrium of the sternum atsternoclavicular joint and with the scapula at acromioclavicular joint


Transmits forces to axial skeleton, strut tohold arm free from trunk, attaches muscles

Humerus x8

Head of humerus is separated from tubercles by anatomicalneck.


Surgical neck – axillary nerve.


Greater and lesser tubercles attach rotator cuffmuscles. Bicipital groove - lady/2majors


Radial nerve runs in spiral groove· Capitulum articulates with radial head. There isa small radial fossa


Trochlea articulates with trochlear notch of theulna


Coronoid fossa fits coronoid of ulna onanterior, olecranon fits olecranon fossa on posterior FAT PADS


Medial and lateral epicondyles = bony bits youcan feel on elbow and attachments/grooves

Radius x7

Head articulates with capitulum and radial fossaof ulna


Radial tuberosity roughened for biceps tendon. Shaft has a lateral area of maximum convexityfor insertion of pronator teres·


Distally, lateral aspect extends into styloidprocess - means adduction>abduction


Posterior groove for EPL


Dorsal/Lister’s tubercle on radial side


A notch articulates with ulna

Ulna x6

Coronoid process and olecranon articulate withhumerus


Shaft has subcutaneous border and a sharp marginfor IO membrane


Ulna head with a small styloid process – lateralaspect a convex articular surface for radius


Triangular with same 3 borders as radius (anterior, posterior, interosseous)· Posterior border palpable along entire length,anterior border rounded


Roughening for pronator quadratus distally

Carpal bones - proximal row

Scaphoid, lunate, triquetral and pisiform


Pisiform is sesamoid

Carpal bones - distal row

Trapezium, trapezois, capitate, hamate


Intercarpal ligaments give stability

Small bones of the hand

Base, shaft and head. Minimal movement at carpometacarpal apart from thumb which is sadle shaped.


Phalanges are hinged joints and stabilised by radial and ulnar collateral ligaments

Joints of the girdle x4



Sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral and scapulothoracic

Sternoclavicular x5

Synovial joint between clavicular notch ofsternum and clavicle, and small part of 1st costal cartilage


Fibrocartilaginous interarticular disc dividesinto 2 separate synovial cavities Elevation/depression by rocking clavicle on disc Protraction/retraction by rocking clavicle/discon manubrium


Interclavicular ligament

Acromioclavicular x2

Small synovial joint permits small rotationabout all 3 axes


Rotation here accounts for about half of the“glenoid up” rotation of scapula relative to chest wall

Glenmohumeral (1) x6

Synovial, wide range of movement at the cost ofstability


Margins of glenoid fossa extended by a fibrocartilaginous glenoid labrum


Surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage· Capsule extends to the anatomical neck and islax inferiorly to allow abduction


Capsule strengthened by coracohumeral and 3anterior glenohumeral ligaments.Flexion/extension, abduction/adduction,medial/lateral rotation

Glenohumeral (2) x8

The 4 muscles of the rotator cuff –supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis hold the humeralhead in the glenoid, providing strength and dynamic stability·


Abduction initiated by supraspinatus andcontinued by deltoid.


Adduction by coracobrachialis, alsolady+2 majors·


Lateral rotation by infraspinatus and teresminor·


Medial rotation by subscapularis and teres major


Blood supply is from nutrient arteries from anterior and posterior circumflex humeral


Consistent bursae - subtendinous (under subscapularis)


Aperture for biceps tendon and communication with subtendimous

Scapulothoracic x2

Allows increase shoulder movement beyond theinitial 120o from the glenohumeral joint· Can move in different planes and rotate

Intervertbtal joints x5 (5 ligaments)

Synovial


Strengthened by supraspinous and interspinous ligaments, connectingtips and base of spinous processes


Intertransverse, connecting transverse processes


Ligamentum flavum, connecting laminae Capsular ligaments of the joints betweenarticular facets


2 ligaments connect vertebral bodies and supportthe intervertebral disc – the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligamentsp[Vw2

Elbow x6

Radial head articulates with ulna in supinationand pronation, and slides on capitulum in flexion/extension.


Capsule attached to margins of articularsurfaces, lax anteriorly and posteriorly to permit full flexion/extension


Maintained by congruous articular surfaces oftrochlea and trochlear fossa


Medial and lateral collateral ligaments(radius/ulna to epicondyle) and anular ligament (neck of radius)


Supination and pronation occur at distal andproximal radio-ulnar joints


Median nerve and brachial artery anteriorly,ulnar nerve posteromedially and radial nerve anterolaterally.

Wrist x5

Synovial ellipsoid joints


Concave surface of radius articulates withconvex scaphoid and lunate


Head of ulna separated from triquetral by atriangular fibrocartilaginous disc, attached to edge of ulnar notch of radiusand base of ulnar styloid. It separates wrist from distal radioulnar joint.


Capsule strengthened on either side by medialand lateral collateral ligaments which run from the styloids to the carpalbones· Adduction more extensive than abduction
