I Like to Move It, Move It
The mobility type of the three shoulder joints
What is diarthroidal(freely movable)?
Traumatic removal of the humeral head from the glenoid cavity
What is shoulder dislocation?
Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs enclosing the shoulder joints
What is bursitis?
Centering point for AP and Lateral humerus projections
What is midpoint of humerus?
Name the projection: Both AC and SC joints are visualized; The midclavicle is is superimposed on the superior scapula angle.
What is AP Clavicle?
The three joints in the shoulder girdle
What are sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and scapulohumeral (glenohumeral)?
Reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue
What is osteoporosis?
Compression fracture of the articular surface of the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head. Often associated with anterior dislocation of the humeral head
What is a Hill-Sachs defect?
Centering point for AP shoulder-internal rotation
What is 1 inch inferior to coracoid process?
Name the projection: Greater tubercle is seen in profile and lateral and medial epicondyles are parallel to the IR
What is AP Humerus?
A limited amount of gliding motion occurs in nearly every direction in this joint
What is the sternoclavicular (SC) joint?
Noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation
What is osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)?
Injury of the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid labrum
What is a Bankart lesion?
Centering point for AP oblique projection (grashey method)
What is the scapulohumeral joint (2" inferior and 2" medial to superolateral border of shoulder)?
Name the projection: Lesser tubercle is seen in profile, scapula and clavicle are seen in entirety
What is AP shoulder internal rotation?
The reason the glenohumeral joint allows the greatest freedom of mobility of any joint in the human body
What is because the glenoid cavity is very shallow?
Chronic systemic disease characterized by inflammatory changes that occur throughout the connective tissues of the body
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
The Neer method is used to show this calcified pathology.
What is tendonitis?
Centering point for bilateral AC joints
What is MSP and 1 inch above jugular notch?
Name the Projection: Arm is seen to be abducted approximately 90 degrees from the body; coracoid process and lesser tubercle are in profile
What is the inferosuperior axial projection of the shoulder (lawrence method)?
The secondary type of movement of the AC joint; occurs as the scapula moves forward and backward with the clavicle
What is rotary?
Disability of the shoulder joint that is caused by chronic inflammation in and around the shoulder joint. Also known as frozen shoulder.
What is idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis?
The impact of the greater tuberosity and soft tissues on the coracoacromial ligamentous and osseous arch, generally during abduction of the arm
What is impingement syndrome?
Centering point for AP scapula
What is 2" inferior to coracoid process and 2" medial from lateral border of patient?
Name the projection: Correct CR angle of 10 to 15 degrees to the long axis of the humerus demonstrates the intertubercular sulcus and the tubercles in profile without superimposition of the acromion process
What is the Tangential projection of the intertubercular sulcus (Fisk modification)?
