Anterior aspect Posterior aspect


Osteology
• Lateral border is
thicker than medial
– Because of all the
muscle attachments
Osteology
• Anteriorly
– Glenoid Cavity
• Shallow, oval-
shaped depression
– Coracoid Process
• Looks like a bent
finger
Osteology
• Posteriorly
– Separated by ribs
by thin layers of
muscle
– Spine
• Strong, sharp
ridge

Shoulder Girdle
Joints of the Shoulder
• Sternoclavicular joint

• Acromioclavicular joint

• Coracoclavicular joint

• Scapulothoracic joint

• Glenohumeral joint
Sternoclavicular Joint
• Strong enough so that dislocation of joint
is less common than fracture of clavicle
• Provides major axis of rotation for
movement of clavicle and scapula
• Elevation: 60°.
• 24-30° motion anterior, posterior, and
inferior
• Helps position GH joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
• Irregular diarthrodial joint between the
acromion process of the scapula and the
distal clavicle.
– Allows limited motions in all three planes.
• Rotation occurs during arm elevation
• Close-packed position with humerus
abducted to 90 degrees
Coracoclavicular Joint
• A syndesmosis with coracoid process of
scapula
– Bound to the inferior clavicle by the
coracoclavicular ligament.
• Permits little movement
Scapulothoracic joint
• Not a true joint
• The movement of the scapula on the wall
of the thoracic cage is critical to shoulder
motion
• Contraction of the scapular muscles that
attach the scapula to the axial skeleton, is
critical in stabilizing the scapula and
providing a base for joint function
Glenohumeral Joint

• Ball and socket joint in which the head of

the humerus articulates with the glenoid

fossa of the scapula

• Referred to as the shoulder joint


Ligaments of the
Sternoclavicular Joint
• Interclavicular ligament
– Strengthens the capsule superiorly
• Costoclavicular ligament
– Limits elevation of the pectoral girdle
Ligament of the
Acromioclavicular Joint
• Acromioclavicular ligament
– A fibrous band
– This ligament strengthens the joint
superiorly
Ligaments of the
Coracoclavicular Joint
• Coracoclavicular ligament
– A strong pair of bands that unites the
coracoid process of the scapula to the clavicle
– Consists of two ligaments
• Conoid ligament
• Trapezoid
Ligaments of the
Glenohumeral Joint
• Glenohumeral ligaments
- Strengthen the anterior aspect of the articular
capsule
- Three fibrous bands
Superior Glenohumeral ligament
Taut during external rotation and plays
a small role in the stability of the
shoulder
Ligaments of the
Glenohumeral Joint
• Glenohumeral ligaments
Middle Glenohumeral ligament
Taut during external rotation and plays
a small role in stability of the shoulder
Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament
Taut during external rotation, and plays
a small role in stability of the shoulder
Ligaments of the
Glenohumeral Joint
• Coracohumeral ligament
Strengthens the capsule superiorly
Resists the pull of gravity and limits external
rotation of the shoulder
• Transverse humeral ligament
Strengthens the capsule and bridges the gap
between the greater and lesser tubercles of the
humerus
keeps the biceps tendon in its groove during
movements

• Movements of

• Movements of

– Medial rotation
Internal Rotation

The body limits


internal rotation -
thus placing the
arm behind the
body increases the
amount of internal
rotation

Movements of

Biomechanics of GH
Stability
• The normal shoulder constrains the
humeral head to the center of the glenoid
cavity throughout most of the arc of
movement
– Static restraints
– Dynamic restraints
Static restraints
• Glenoid labrum and articular surfaces
• Negative intra-articular pressure
• Ligaments and capsule
• Joint fluid adhesiveness
Dynamic restraints
• Rotator cuff muscles
• Deltoid and biceps
• Concavity compression
Rotator Cuff
Rotator Cuff
Stability Ratio
• Maximal displacing force in a given
direction(perpendicular to glenoid center
line) that can be stabilized by compressive
load
• Affected by
– Glenoid/labrum depth
– rim lesions
– Glenoid version
– Dynamic stabilizer compromise
