The shoulder girdle is comprised of which four joints? - (ANSWER)Sternoclavicular (S/C)
Acromioclavicular (A/C)
Glenohumeral (G/H)
Scapulothoracic Articulation (S/T)
Sternoclavicular joint is what kind of joint - (ANSWER)Complex saddle joint
Increases the congruity of the highly irregular joint surfaces - (ANSWER)Sternoclavicular joint articular
disc
Ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint - (ANSWER)SC ligament, interclavicular, Costoclavicular
Achieved by placing the arm down at the side of the body - (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. - (ANSWER)Closed packed position of
the SC joint
Conditions of the SC joint - (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° -
(ANSWER)Osteoarthritis
Can be very serious injury may require open reduction surgery - (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 - (ANSWER)Anterior dislocation with superior medial displacement of SC
joint
, CP2 UE MIDTERM EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025
Acromioclavicular joint is what kind of joint? - (ANSWER)Planer joint with incongruent surfaces
High degree of variability between individuals and within individuals - (ANSWER)Articular disc of the AC
joint
Ligaments of the AC joint - (ANSWER)Coracoclavicular ligament comprised of coronoid and trapezoid
ligaments, and AC ligament
Achieved by bringing the GH joint into 90° of abduction - (ANSWER)AC joint closed packed position
This position is debatable - (ANSWER)Loose packed position of the AC joint
Conditions of the AC joint - (ANSWER)Osteoarthritis, osteolysis, AC joint dislocation or shoulder
separation
Resorption of the subchondral bone of the distal clavicle, can be due to trauma or repetitive stress -
(ANSWER)Osteolysis
Common mechanism of injury is direct impact to the lateral aspect of shoulder or a fall on outstretched
hand, graded on damage to ligaments and displacement of clavicle, six types of grades of separation,
grades 4 to 6 are variations of grade 3 - (ANSWER)AC joint dislocation or shoulder separation
One of the most mobile joints - (ANSWER)Glenohumeral
The glenohumeral joint is what type of joint - (ANSWER)Ball and socket joint
The head of the humerus articulates with what. To form the GH joint - (ANSWER)Glenoid fossa
