The Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint
Articulation of
acromion & distal
end of clavicle.
AC ligament
strengthens joint superiorly.
Aponeurosis of
trapezius & deltoid strengthen joint posteriorly.
Coracoclavicular ligament further stabilizes joint.

The Sternoclavicular (SC) Joint
Proximal clavicle articulates w/ sternum and cartilage of 1st rib.
Capsule thickened by anterior & posterior sternoclavicular ligaments.
The only bony connection between the humerus and axial skeleton.
Permits limited motion of the clavicle.
Partially responsible for movements of the scapula.

18
Diagonal forward-downward and slightly inward movement of the arm.
18
19
AC joint forced beyond normal ROM.
Downward blow to outer end of shoulder.
Fall on outstretched hand.
Damage consists of tearing or severe stretching of AC ligaments.
19
20
Clavicle fractures have causes similar to AC sprain:
Downward blow to outer end of shoulder.
Fall on outstretched hand.
May indicate injury by supporting injured arm.
Head may be tilted toward injured side with face turned to opposite side.
20
21
May be forward, downward, or posterior.
Most likely when arm is forcefully abducted and laterally rotated.
May occur by a blow to top of shoulder .
Head of humerus is forced out of the glenoid fossa.
Arm held out from side in a position of slight abduction and lateral rotation.
Loss of normal rounded contour of deltoid muscle.
21
22
Supraspinatus (supraspinatus tendon) most often injured.
Nature of injury depends on arm kinematics.
Caused by overuse, falls, or violent, fast arm motion.
22
23
Soft tissue superior to humeral head pressed against acromion process.
Due to overuse, inflammation, trapped bursa, degeneration with aging.
Will cause pain and inflammation in shoulder.

The Elbow Joint Structure
Actually 3 joints:
Humeroulnar
Hinge joint
Humeroradial
Gliding joint
Proximal Radioulnar
Pivot joint
25
26
Distal humerus - trochlea & capitulum
Ulna - semilunar notch:
Coronoid process
Olecranon process
Radial head
Radial notch of ulna
26
27
All 3 joints enveloped in a capsule, lined by synovial membrane.
Strengthened by radial & ulnar collateral ligaments (RCL & UCL).
The Annular Ligament encircles the radial head & binds it to the ulna.

34
35
Mid-carpal & Inter-carpal Joints
Proximal row of 4 carpal bones articulate with four carpal bones of distal row.
Permits only a slight gliding motion.
However, the gliding adds up to a modified hinge type of movement.
Anterior surface of carpal bones are slightly concave, referred to as the carpal tunnel.
35
36
Carpometacarpal & Intermetacarpal Joints
The thumb is a prime example of a saddle joint.
Joints between bases of metacarpal bones are irregular.
All are enclosed in capsules.

Abduction Hyperadduction Extension
Flexion Hyperflexion Opposition (w/ another digit)
37
38
Carpometacarpal & Intermetacarpal Finger Joint Movements
Short ligaments in this region, limit motion in these joints almost to the point of being nonexistent.
Slight gliding movements only.
5th carpometacarpal joint (pinky) is slightly more mobile.
38
39
Meta-carpo-phalangeal Joint Structure
Joints at bases of the four fingers, uniting proximal phalanges with metacarpals.
Condyloid joints
Encased in capsules
Protected by collateral ligaments.
Also a dorsal ligament.

41
Interphalangeal Joints
Joints between adjacent phalanges of any of the five digits.
All are hinge joints, permitting only flexion & extension.
Hyperextension is slight, if present at all.
Each one enclosed in a capsule.
Strengthened by collateral ligaments, and in front (anteriorly) by a volar ligament.
