SHOULDER COMPLEXDr. Michael P. Gillespie
ARTICULATIONS OF THE SHOULDER
Four articulations of the shoulder exist involving the sternum, clavicle, ribs, scapula and humerus.
The series of joints of the shoulder complex allow for extensive range of motion to the upper extremity.
This extensive range of motion allows us to reach and manipulate objects.

MUSCLE INTERACTIONS
Muscles of the shoulder complex rarely act isolation, but rather work in “teams” to produce highly coordinated movements.
These movements are expressed over multiple joints.
The coordinated actions of multiple muscles allows for great versatility, control and range of motion.
Paralysis or weakness of any single muscle often disrupts the entire kinematic sequencing of the entire shoulder complex.

ARTHROLOGY OF THE SHOULDER COMPLEX The most proximal articulation within the shoulder
complex is the sternoclavicular joint. The clavicle functions as a mechanical strut
holding the scapula at a relatively fixed distance from the trunk.
The acromioclavicular joint attaches the scapula to the clavicle.
The anterior surface of the scapula rests against the posterior-lateral surface of the thorax, forming the scapulothoracic joint. This is not a true anatomic joint. It is an interface between bones.
The scapula serves as a base of operation for the glenohumeral joint. The glenohumeral joint is the most distal and mobile link of the complex.
“Shoulder movement” describes the combined motions at the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints.

STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT: GENERAL FEATURES
The SC joint functions as the basilar joint of the entire upper extremity and links the appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton.
The joint must be firmly attached, yet allow considerable range of movement.

ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT: GENERAL FEATURES
The AC joint is the articulation between the lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion of the scapula.
An articular disc is present in most AC joints. The joint has an articular capsule and

ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT DISLOCATION
The AC joint is inherently susceptible to dislocation due to the sloped nature of the articulation and the high probability of receiving large shearing forces.
Falling and striking the tip of the shoulder abruptly against the ground would produce such a shearing force.

SCAPULOTHORACIC JOINT
The scapulothroacic Joint is not a true joint, but rather a point of contact between the anterior surface of the scapula and the posterior-lateral wall of the thorax.
The two surfaces do not make direct contact. They are separated by muscles such as the subscapularis, serratus anterior, and erector spinae.
An audible click during scapular movements may indicate abnormal contact within the articulation.

SCAPULOTHORACIC UPWARD ROTATION
34
Dr. M

FUNCTIONAL IMPORTANCE OF UPWARD ROTATION Many functional activities require us to raise the
arm fully overhead. The upward rotation of the scapula accounts for
nearly 1/3 of the 180 degrees of shoulder abduction or flexion.
Functions The upwardly rotated scapula projects the glenoid fossa
upward and anterior-laterally, providing a structural base to maximize upward and lateral reach.
The upwardly rotated scapula preserves the optimal length-tension relationship of the abductor muscles of the glenohumeral joint (middle deltoid & supraspinatous).
The upwardly rotated scapula helps maintain the volume within the subacromial space. A reduced subacromial space can lead to painful and damaging impingement of the supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursa).

GLENOHUMERAL JOINT: GENERAL FEATURES
The GH joint is the articulation formed between the large convex head of the humerus and the shallow concavity of the glenoid fossa.
It operates in conjunction with the moving scapula to produce an extensive range of motion of the shoulder.
In anatomic position, the articular surface of the glenoid fossa is directed anterior-laterally in the scapular plane.
In anatomic position, the humeral head is directed medially and superiorly, as well as posteriorly.
This orientation places the head of the humerus directly against the face of the glenoid fossa. 36

“LOOSE FIT” OF THE GLENOHUMERAL JOINT & INSTABILITY Several features of the glenohumeral joint contribute to
a design that favors mobility at the expense of stability. The articular surface of the glenoid fossa covers only about
1/3 of the articular surface of the humeral head. The longitudinal diameter of the humeral head is about 1.9
times larger than the longitudinal diamter of the glenoid fossa.
The transverse diameter of the humeral head is about 2.3 times larger than the opposing transverse diameter of the glenoid fossa.
The surrounding muscles and ligaments maintain the mechanical integrity of the joint.
A condition of excessive laxity or “joint play” associated with large translations of the proximal humerus relative to the glenoid is often referred to as shoulder instability. Subluxation – incomplete separation of articular surfaces
often followed by spontaneous realignment Dislocation – complete separation of articular surfaces
without spontaneous realignment38

ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES & LONG HEAD OF BICEPS BRACHII The glenohumeral joint receives significant
structural reinforcement from the four rotator cuff muscles.
The subscapularis is the thickest of these muscles and lies just anterior to the scapula.
The supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor lie superior and posterior to the capsule.
These four muscles form a cuff that protects and actively stabilizes the GH joint, especially during dynamic activities.
The belly of these muscles lies close to the joint. The tendons of these muscle blend into the capsule. The tendon of the long head of the biceps
reinforces the rotator interval (between supraspinatus and subscapularis).

GLENOID LABRUM: VULNERABLE TO INJURY The rim of the glenoid fossa is encircled by a
fibrocartilage ring, or lip, known as the glenoid labrum.
It deepens the concavity of the fossa and increases the contact area with the humeral head to help stabilize the joint.
The superior part of the glenoid labrum is only loosely attached.
50% of the fibers of the tendon of the long head of the biceps are direct extensions of the superior glenoid labrum.
Large or repetitive forces within the biceps tendon can detach the superior labrum (near its 12 o’clock position). 46

SCAPULOHUMERAL RHYTHM
“Scapulohumeral rhythm” describes the kinematic relationship between glenohumeral abduction and scapulothoracic upward rotation.
After about 30 degrees of abduction, the rhythm is remarkably constant.
For every 3 degrees of shoulder abduction, 2 degrees occur by GH joint abduction and 1 degree occurs by scapulothoracic upward rotation.
A full arc of 180 degrees of abduction is the result of a simultaneous 120 degrees of GH joint abduction and 60 degrees of scapulothoracic upward rotation.

SHOULDER ABDUCTION IN THE FRONTAL PLANE VERSUS THE SCAPULAR PLANE
Shoulder abduction in the frontal plane is often used as a representative motion to evaluate overall shoulder function; however, this motion is not very natural.
Abducting the shoulder in the scapular plane (about 35 degrees anterior to the frontal plane) is a more natural movement and generally allows greater elevation of the humerus than in the frontal plane.

SHOULDER INSTABILITY
Posttraumatic Instability Atraumatic Instability Acquired Shoulder Instability
70
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
POSTTRAUMATIC INSTABILITY Posttraumatic instability is attributed to a specific
event involving a traumatic dislocation of the glenohumeral joint.
The vast majority of traumatic dislocations occur in the anterior direction, typically related to a fall or forceful collision.
The pathomechanics of an anterior dislocation often involve the motion or position of extreme external rotation in an abducted position.
The force then drives the humeral head off the anterior aspect of the glenoid fossa.
This dislocation often injures the rotator cuff muscles, middle and inferior GH ligaments, and anterior-inferior rim of the glenoid labrum (Bankart lesions).
Posttraumatic dislocations frequently lead to future recurrences.
Posttraumatic instability does NOT respond well to conservative care and often requires surgery.
71
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
ATRAUMATIC INSTABILITY
These individuals tend to display generalized and excessive ligamentous laxity throughout the body, often described as being congenital.
This type of instability is usually not associated with a traumatic event.
The instability can be unidirectional or multidirectional, and bilateral.
Atraumatic instability tends to respond favorably to conservative therapy involving strengthening and coordination exercises.
72
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
ACQUIRED SHOULDER INSTABILITY The pathogenics of acquired shoulder instability
are related to overstretching and subsequent microtrauma of the capsular ligaments within the GH joint.
This condition is associated with repetitive, high-velocity shoulder motions that involve extreme external rotation and abduction.
These motions are common in throwing sports, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.
The anterior bands of the inferior GH ligament and to a lesser extent the middle GH ligament are vulnerable to plastic deformation.
This tissue deformation leads to increased laxity. This can contribute to other conditions such as
rotator cuff syndrome and internal impingement syndrome.
73
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
SUPRASPINATUS VULNERABILITY
The supraspinatus is one of the most used muscles of the entire shoulder complex.
It assists the deltoid during abduction. It provides dynamic and static stability to the GH
joint. It is subjected to large internal forces even during
routine activities. The muscle exhibits a 1:20 mechanical advantage
over a load in the hand, implying that the muscle must exert a force 20 times greater than the weight of the load.
This can lead to tears of the muscle as it inserts into the capsule and greater tubercle of the humerus.
74
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
Subacromial shoulder impingement syndrome is among the most common painful disorders of the shoulder.
It is caused by repeated an unnatural compression of the tissues within the subacromial space.
The tissues affected are the supraspinatus tendon, the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii, the superior capsule, and the subacromial bursa.
These tissues become compressed between the humeral head and the coracoacromial arch.
This impingement can be a very important factor in rotator cuff syndrome.
75
Dr. M
ichael P
. Gille
spie
DIRECT OR INDIRECT CAUSES OF SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME Abnormal kinematics at the glenohumeral and
scapulothoracic joints. “Slouched” posture that affects the alignment of the
scapulothoracic joint. Fatigue, weakness, poor control, or tightness of the
muscles that govern motions at the GH or scapulothoracic joints.
Inflammation and swelling of tissues within and around the subacromial space.
Excessive wear and subsequent degenration of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles.
Instability of the GH joint. Adhesions within the inferior GH joint capsule. Excessive tightness in the posterior capsule of the GH
joint (and associated anterior migration of the humeral head towards the lower margin of the coracoacromial arch).
Abnormal shape of the acromion or coracoacromial arch.76
