Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

3.7K
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...

Overview of the Axial Skeleton

5.2K
The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
The axial skeleton of the...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

1.9K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

3.1K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Interpreting pediatric shoulder imaging is challenging due to varying bone development. This review covers normal growth, anatomy, and imaging variants to help distinguish typical development from pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The pediatric shoulder girdle is a complex anatomical region.
  • Its wide range of motion is facilitated by osseous structures, articulations, and soft tissues.
  • Growth and maturation vary, especially in osseous components, complicating imaging interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physiologic growth and maturation of the pediatric shoulder girdle.
  • To emphasize the development of bones and their articulations.
  • To discuss imaging modalities and common variants in the pediatric shoulder.

Main Methods:

  • Review of physiologic growth and maturation of the shoulder girdle.
  • Emphasis on the development of bones and articulations.
  • Discussion of imaging modalities and common osseous and soft tissue variants.

Main Results:

  • Pediatric shoulder girdle development involves complex osseous and soft tissue maturation.
  • Variations in growth can mimic pathology on imaging.
  • Understanding normal variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate interpretation of pediatric shoulder imaging requires knowledge of normal growth and maturation.
  • Familiarity with common osseous and soft tissue variants is essential.
  • This review aids clinicians in differentiating normal anatomy from pathology.
