Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

3.5K
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...

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

1.8K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

1.5K
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...

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs01:20

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs

2.2K
Ribs are curved, flattened bones forming the thoracic cavity wall with the thoracic muscles. There are 12 pairs of thoracic ribs. The posterior ends of all the ribs articulate with the T1–T12 thoracic vertebrae. In contrast,the anterior ends of most ribs attach to the sternum via their costal cartilages.
Parts of a Typical Rib
A typical rib has a head, neck, and body. The posterior end of the rib is called the head, followed by a narrow neck. The head articulates primarily with the costal...

Muscles of the Thorax

1.3K
The thorax muscles are central to the body's respiration and provide essential support and movement for the upper body. They are intricately designed to facilitate the complex breathing process while also contributing to the structural integrity and mobility of the chest and upper limbs.
The diaphragm is at the core of thoracic musculature, the primary muscle involved in breathing. This expansive, dome-shaped muscle marks the division between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

185
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care
  • Musculoskeletal Injuries

Background:

  • Scapulothoracic dissociation is a rare but serious traumatic injury.
  • It results from significant blunt force causing lateral scapular displacement.
  • Associated injuries include musculoskeletal, vascular, and brachial plexus damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the management of an open scapulothoracic dissociation case.
  • To summarize the findings related to this specific injury presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing the treatment of an open scapulothoracic dissociation.
  • Review and summarization of the patient's clinical findings and treatment course.

Main Results:

  • Successful treatment of an open scapulothoracic dissociation patient.
  • Identification of key findings associated with this rare injury.

Conclusions:

  • Open scapulothoracic dissociation requires specific management strategies.
  • Further summarization of findings may aid in understanding and treating similar cases.
