TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - RADIOLOGIC EVALUATION OF THE SHOULDER A1 - McKinnis, Lynn N. PY - 2014 T2 - Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging AB - The glenohumeral joint is sometimes referred to as the true shoulder joint, but it is only one of four articulations that constitute what is commonly called the shoulder, shoulder girdle, or shoulder joint complex. The combined and coordinated movements of the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, and sternoclavicular joints plus the scapulothoracic articulation permit the arm to be positioned in space for efficient use of the hand. Impairment of a single articulation will inhibit normal functioning of the collective. To provide a comprehensive radiographic look at the entire shoulder joint complex, radiographs of the acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic articulations are included herein. Radiographs of the sternoclavicular joints are presented in Chapter 9. SN - PB - F. A. Davis Company CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1176549141 ER -
