1 - Glenohumeral joint (G/H)
2 - Acromioclavicular joint (AC)
3 - Sternoclavicular joint (SC)
4 - Scapulothoracic joint

Carrying Angle
Line of Humerus & Forearm are not
the same.
Forearm abducted at angle, why?
 Medial edge of Trochlea
projects approx. 6mm
below the lateral edge.
 Typically Females have
larger angles.
Masked in full flexion & in pronation
of the extended forearm.

  • #89 Ant. View: Medial Epicondyle  common flexor tendon origin  important muscles are FCR + FCU + FDS (Palmaris longus absent in about 14% of population – hook hand and wrist/grip – medial epicondyle to distal half flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis) FCU – two heads humeral attachment at medial epicondyle of the humerus and ulnar head at olecranon and posterior border of proximal 3rd of ulna  pisiform, hook of hamate and base of 5th metacarpal FCR – Medial epicondyle of humerus  base of 2nd metacarpal FDS – two heads: humeroulnar head from medial epicondyle of humerus, UCL and coronoid process + radial head from superior half of ant. Radius to bodies of 2nd-4th phalanges (THESE ACT OVER THE WRIST) Over the elbow: Biceps Brachii – Two heads – Long head from superior glenoid tubercle and short head from tip coracoid process  radial tuberosity. Brachialis  ant. Distal half of humerus  anterior surface of coronoid process Brachioradialis  Upper 2/3rds of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus  styloid process of distal radius Pronator Teres  Humeral head - Immediately proximal to the medial epicondyle ​+ Ulnar head - Medial aspect of the coronoid process  Half way along the lateral surface of the radial shaft Supinator  Lateral epicondyle of humerus RCL/AL + supinator fossa  lateral aspect of proximal 3rd of radius
