The A to Z of Bones, Joints & Ligaments

Introduction

The A to Z of the Bones of the Skull has been completely rewritten and is now wholey incoorperated in the A to Z of the Head & Neck, which discusses the bones and muscles of the Head and Neck. Although it is derived from the A to Z of the Bones, Joints & Ligaments its emphasis has changed, as with the Head and Neck book, due to large amount of feedback received and there is a separate section on the back and Vertebral Column - VC, clinical testing and assessment of this area.

Note using this book and online quizzes it is possible to use this material for continuing education programs please write/email/contact me for further details.

Please note there is now a supportive website: http://www.aspenpharma.com.au/atlas/student.htm, where images of all the A to Z books may be found. Feedback pages reside at the end of the book as does a boney quizz for all those interested (did you name all the gold teeth in the A to Z of the Head and Neck?). All feedback will be well received, particularly regarding future titles, and any other ideas!!!

This is the fourth major update of the A to Z books, after the updated version of the A to Z of Anatomical, Medical and Histological terms, and the A to Z of Skeletal Muscles.

The A to Z of Bones, Joints & Ligaments

Capitalization is used to demonstrate the bones involved in several structures including joints of all kinds (e.g. sutures). In other words the parietomastoid suture is listed as Parieto-Mastoid suture to further remind the reader of the involved bones or bony features involved in the composition of the structure. This helps to further orientate the reader to the structural components of the feature. As a separate feature at the end of the book a consideration is given to the back its function clinical examination and testing. It is hoped that this will prove a valuable resource for those examining individual bones and their articulations and support structures to build up the complete joint as in the study of ANATOMY and its many uses such as: archeology, anthropology, chiropractic, dentistry, forensics, geology, medicine, orthopaedics, osteology, paleontology, paleobiology, physiotherapy, massage therapy and surgery and so on...

Bones, Joints and Ligaments have been listed alphabetically and cross referenced as much as possible with their common names (e.g. the SHOULDER JOINT is the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT and the COLLAR BONE is the CLAVICLE) preference is made to list them as their proper anatomical names with cross referencing in the index to their common names, but each item may be looked up with either terminology. Each bone and joint is shown from at least 2 aspects, with numbered features on the diagram page and the key or index to these on the opposite page. Numbering is generally started anew with each diagram, except where it is obvious the diagrams are related and then the numbering is continued onto the second diagram and the key to the features is the same for both. Bones or groups of bones are also shown in situ, or as an overview to relate them to the whole body structure, in other words as they lay in body or cavity anatomically. For example the RIBS together form the RIB CAGE and anatomically this bony structure is the way most of the ribs function most of the time not as individual bones.

There are:

Each limb has a single long bone proximally (arm and thigh), a hinge joint and 2 bones distally (the forearm and shin) joined by an interosseous upper membrane ligament. Each pair of limbs is supported by a GIRDLE of supporting bones the PECTORAL GIRDLE and the lower PELVIC GIRDLE.

Generally, they are unnamed although the Incus is given to the large extra-sutural bone when present. There are between 600 and 620 bones in the body including the various sesamoid and Wormian bones and other areas where there may be separate or ossified joints. 22 paired skull bones including the ear ossicles / not including the teeth. 5 single bones mainly on the base of the skull 1 mandible 1 hyoid variable sutural and extra-sutural bones (generally between 3-5)

The thoracic VC consists of the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-12). Costovertebral joints (rib joints) are also listed in the main section of the BJL and overviewed in Chest overview. The lumbar VC consists of the 5 lumbar vertebrae (L1-5). The Sacrum, Iliosacral joints and the Pelvic girdle, are also listed in the main section. Typical VB of each region, their joints and associated ligaments are listed in order in this section of the book.

The Back generally defined as the lumbar region of the VC, includes here the VC of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions and associated boney structures. Its primary function is to house and protect the SC, allow exit and entrance of the SNs and act as an axis for the bodys boney skeleton all things hang from the back. Pathology associated with this structure generally includes a consideration of what happens if there is an interruption of these SNs, which is also dealt with in A to Z of Peripheral Nerves and changes which may occur with malalignment or changes in the musculature of the VC examined also in the A to Z of Skeletal Muscles

Common Postures and Abnormal Curves of the Spinal Column 1


cephalic thoracic and lumbar curves (see image to the right)

2 poor posture Rounded Shoulders may lead to Dowager hump (4) or Thoracic Kyphosis (5)

3 Forward Head posture -reducing thoracic curve by exaggerating head tilt may lead to flat back (6) associated with back pain

Note awareness of these postures allows for corrections in the early stages, particularly the rounded shoulders and forward head postures. They should be first looked for in adolescence.

5 exaggerated AP thoracic curve Thoracic Kyphosis may develop into the Dowager hump deformity with age 6 Flat back - commonly associated with back pain, reduced shock absorption also the result of poor lifetime posture

7 Sway Back - commonly seen in adolescent girls exaggerated AP lumbar curve - Lumbar Lordosis

the back is made up of several layers of muscles the most superficial allow for gross changes but the deeper muscles adjust posture and vertebral alignment -this exercise slowly lifting in a vertical manner allows for the deep muscles to adjust and align the VC during the lift - Multifidis, Rotatores

lifting - deadweight bending with a straight back and extended arms lift the weight straight up along the calves.

then - DOWN drop down in a controlled manner in the end hanging down to distract the joints giving - max weight bearing to the neck head and upper back. The back is made up of several layers of muscles the most superficial allow for gross changes such as this - Erector Spinae and Trapezius - this exercise decompresses the joints and stretches all the supportive structures, particularly the back flexion in this case the hanging down position. This exercise can be modified by lying on the floor and dropping over steps to extend the back.
