SCORES
The shoulder girdle is comprised of which four joints? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Sternoclavicular (S/C)
Acromioclavicular (A/C)
Glenohumeral (G/H)
Scapulothoracic Articulation (S/T)
Sternoclavicular joint is what kind of joint - CORRECT-ANSWER-Complex
saddle joint
Increases the congruity of the highly irregular joint surfaces - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Sternoclavicular joint articular disc
, Page |2
Ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint - CORRECT-ANSWER-SC
ligament, interclavicular, Costoclavicular
Achieved by placing the arm down at the side of the body - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Loose packed position of the SC joint
Achieved through maximum shoulder elevation, when the GH joint
exceeds greater than 110° of flexion or abduction. The clavicle must
upwardly rotate to achieve this. - CORRECT-ANSWER-Closed packed
position of the SC joint
Conditions of the SC joint - CORRECT-ANSWER-Osteoarthritis, sprain,
dislocation, all are not that common, clavicular fracture is most likely
With ankylosis of a SC joint shoulder elevation is severely limited to
approximately 19° - CORRECT-ANSWER-Osteoarthritis
, Page |3
Can be very serious injury may require open reduction surgery -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Posterior dislocation of SC joint
Most common dislocation, usually occurs due to direct trauma to the
side of the shoulder, such as an impact or a fall, typically benign -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Anterior dislocation with superior medial
displacement of SC joint
Full elbow extension with 5° supination - CORRECT-ANSWER-Closed
packed position of the radioulnar joint
At the radioulnar joint what articulates with what? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-The convex radius pivots in the concave radial notch of the
ulna
What ligament secures the radius to the ulna allowing the radius to
pivot and keep congruence to the ulna? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Annular
ligament
