Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

11.6K
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.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.1K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

950
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.7K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

9.2K
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.

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

9.8K
Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body. A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint is the presence of a joint cavity. This fluid-filled space is where the articulating surfaces of the bones contact each other. Also, unlike fibrous or cartilaginous joints, the articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage. This gives the bones of a synovial joint the ability to move smoothly...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is crucial for shoulder girdle function.
  • It endures substantial stress during everyday activities.
  • AC joint pathology is common due to its anatomical location and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the biomechanical significance of the AC joint.
  • To discuss the susceptibility of the AC joint to traumatic injuries.
  • To review the involvement of the AC joint in systemic inflammatory arthropathies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anatomical and biomechanical studies.
  • Analysis of clinical case reports on AC joint trauma.
  • Examination of rheumatological studies detailing joint involvement.

Main Results:

  • The AC joint is a high-load-bearing structure.
  • Traumatic injuries to the AC joint are prevalent.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and seronegative arthropathies frequently affect the AC joint.

Conclusions:

  • The acromioclavicular joint's role in shoulder function necessitates understanding its vulnerability.
  • Knowledge of AC joint pathology is vital for diagnosing and managing shoulder injuries and inflammatory conditions.
