Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...
Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis
An immobile...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Anterior shoulder dislocation is a frequent occurrence in emergency and trauma settings.
  • This review examines current literature and management trends for shoulder dislocations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on anterior shoulder dislocation.
  • To discuss recent trends in the management of shoulder dislocations.
  • To highlight key historical and recent developments in joint immobilization.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review including Medline search for 'anterior shoulder dislocation'.
  • Discussion with colleagues and review of historical and recent publications.
  • Analysis of departmental data on age and sex distribution.

Main Results:

  • Management strategies for shoulder dislocations vary significantly between clinical units.
  • Emphasis is placed on analgesic choice for shoulder reduction in the emergency department.
  • Classical age and sex distribution patterns were graphically represented.

Conclusions:

  • Delayed diagnosis is a primary barrier to optimal outcomes in shoulder dislocation cases.
  • A substantial number of patients necessitate surgery, with a third developing long-term arthritis.
  • Even single dislocation events can lead to long-term shoulder sequelae.
