Summarize collateral circulation at the scapula
If a major blood vessel is blocked (subclavian artery), blood is able to redirect through branches and flow in a retrograde manner to pass the blockage
Neurovascular contents of the Medial Border of Scapula
Dorsal Scapular Nerve, Dorsal Scapular Artery
Location of Quadrangular Space
4 borders: Teres Minor (superiorly), Long head of Triceps Brachii (medially), Teres Major (inferiorly), Shaft of Humerus (laterally)
Neurovascular contents of the Quadrangular Space
Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery and Axillary Nerve
Border of Scapular Notch
Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament closes off the scapular notch on superior border
Contents of Scapular Notch
Suprascapular Artery (superficial/above Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament), Suprascapular Nerve (deep/below Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament)
Location of Triangular Space
3 borders: Teres Minor (superiorly), Teres Major (inferiorly), Long head of Triceps Brachii (lateraly)
Vascular Contents of Triangular Space
Circumflex Scapular Artery
Location of Triceps Hiatus
3 borders: Long Head of Triceps Brachii (medially), Shaft of Humerus/Lateral head of Triceps Brachii (laterally), Teres Major (superiorly)
Neurovascular Contents of Triceps Hiatus
Radial Nerve, Profunda Brachii Artery
Describe a shoulder separation
Acromioclavicular ligament (and in severe cases, coracoclavicular ligament) is torn; causes clavicle to move over acromion and the acromion is free to move inferiorly and damage the glenohumeral joint
Describe a shoulder dislocation
Head of the humerus pops out of the glenoid fossa (inferiorly then migrates anteriorly)
Describe the location of the subacromial space
Inferior to the acromion process
Describe the contents of the subacromial space
Supraspinatus tendon and Subacromial bursa occupy this space
What neurovascular structure would be injured based on bone fractures located at the medial border of the scapula
Dorsal Scapular Nerve, Dorsal Scapular Artery
Describe the Location of the Subacromial bursa
Inferior to the acromion process
Describe the function of the Subacromial bursa
Reduces friction between the acromion process and supraspinatus tendon
Describe the location of the Subdeltoid bursa
Located on the greater tubercle
Describe the function of the subdeltoid bursa
Reduces friction between the deltoid tendon and the greater tubercle
Describe the location of the Subtendinous bursa of the subscapularis
Inferior to the coracoid process
Describe the function of the subtendinous bursa of the subscapularis
Reduces tension between subscapularis and the coracoid process
