Joints of upper limb

Joints of Upper
Extremity
• 1-Sternoclavicular
– Synovial-saddle
• 2- Acromioclavicular
– Synovial-plane
• 3- Glenohumeral
joint(shoulder)
– Synovial-ball&socket
1- Sternoclavicular joint
• Articular surfaces:
- sternal end of the clavicle.
- clavicular notch of manubrium sterni.
- first costal cartilage.
• Ligaments:
- costoclavicular ligament.
- interclavicular ligament.
- ant. & post. Sternoclavicular ligaments.
• Blood supply: suprascapular artery & internal thoracic artery.
• Nerve supply: medial supraclavicular nerve & nerve to subclavius.
• NB: It is divided by articular disc into two cavities.
2- Acromioclavicular joint
• Articular surfaces :
- acromial end of the clavicle
- lateral side of acromion process.
• Ligaments:
• Acromioclavicular ligament.
- coracoclavicular ligament ( conoid & trapezoid parts) .
• Blood supply : suprascapular & thoracoacromial arteries.
• Nerve supply : suprascapular & lateral supraclavicular nerves.
NB: Incompletely divided by articular disc into two compartments.
Movements of both joints allow scapular rotation up to 60 degrees.
The Elbow Joint
Elbow joint
• Elbow Joint type:
– Synovial – hinge
• Articular surfaces:
– Humeroulnar ( trochla of humerus+ trochlear notch of ulna )
– Humeroradial (capitulum of humerus + upper surface of head of
radius)
Capsule and synovial membrane are common for elbow & SRUJ
Capsule is attached to humerus, ulna & unular ligament. It is not
attached to radius.
It includes the radial, coronoid & olecranon fossae of the humerus.
Ligaments of the Elbow
1- Ulnar Collateral Ligament
medial side – connects humerus to ulna
(3 bands ant. , post. And oblique bands)
2- Radial Collateral Ligament
Lateral side – connects humerus to radius
3- Annular Ligament
Surrounds radial head/holds it tight
to ulna
Movement
• Muscles Affecting the Elbow:
- Elbow Flexors
1. Brachialis
2. Biceps brachii
3. Brachioradialis
- Elbow Extensors
1. Triceps
2. Anconeus

Relations of elbow joint ( cont.)
2- Posterior relation : triceps and anconeus
muscles.
3- Medial relation : ulnar nerve & common flexor
origin.
4- Lateral relation : supinator & common extensor
origin.
Blood supply : anastomosis around the elbow
joint.
Nerve supply : musculocutanious + radial + ulnar
nerves.
Radius and Ulna
Joints
• Radioulnar joint
– Radial head rotates around at proximal ulna
– Distal radius rotates around distal ulna
– Annular ligament maintains radial head in its joint
– Joint between shafts of radius & ulna held tightly
together between proximal & distal articulations by an
interosseus membrane (syndesmosis)
• substantial rotary motion between the bones

Joints of Upper Extremity
• Proximal Radioulnar joint
– Synovial - pivot
• Distal Radioulnar joint
– Synovial – pivot
• Allows pronation and
supination of forearm
• MiddleRadioulnar joint
Radioulnar Joint
• Proximal (superior)radioulnar joint:
– articulation between circumference of head of radius and radial
notch of ulna .
– not part of “hinge” joint
– Synovial (pivot) joint
– allows for forearm pronation/supination
 Distal ( inferior) radioulnar joint:
- articulation between head of ulna and ulnar notch of radius.
- Not part of wrist joint separated from it by articular disc.
- Synovial pivot joint.
- allows for forearm pronation/supination
 Middle radioulnar joint : fibrous syndesmosis, connect radius &
ulna by interosseous membrane,
Muscles of radioulnar joints
• Radioulnar pronators
– Pronator teres
– Pronator quadratus
– Brachioradialis( begin movement )
• Radioulnar supinators
– Biceps brachii(powerful supination for flexed
elbow)
– Supinator muscle
– Brachioradialis( begin movement)
