In the shoulder joint, the function of the _____________ is to deepen the cavity of the glenoid fossa. A. tendon of long head of biceps brachii B. coracohumeral ligament C. transverse humeral ligament D. glenoid labrum E. subscapular bursa

This nerve supplies infraspinatus and glenohumeral joint

Which of the following structures is unique to a synovial joint? Accessory ligaments Bursae Collateral ligaments Fibrocartilage Joint cavity

A young female patient was taken to the operative suite and was placed under appropriate anesthesia. She has been suffering from pain and a potential rotator cuff tear of the right shoulder. The right arm was sterilely draped and prepped. Arthroscopic portals were created anteriorly-posteriorly. The joint line was carefully examined. The biceps insertion was noted to be normal. The middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments were visualized and noted to be normal. The undersurface of the rotator cuff was clearly visualized and also noted to be normal. There was a large anterior spur formation. The burr was introduced through a lateral portal and the anterior lip of the acromion was resected. The undersurface of the clavicle was noted to be quite prominent and part of the impinging process. There was intense bursitis and a bursectomy was performed, allowing for acromial decompression and release. Spurs were debrided from the distal clavicle. All instruments were removed, skin incisions were closed and a dressing was applied. The patient was placed in a sling and returned to the recovery room. What CPT® code(s) is/are reported? a. 29822-RT, 29826-RT b. 29824-RT, 29826-RT c. 23415-RT d. 23130-RT, 23120-51-RT

The supraspinatus is named for its location on the posterior aspect of the scapula above the spine. What is its action?Group of answer choicesto flex and adduct the humerus and to act as a synergist of the pectoralis majorto extend and medially rotate the humerus and to act as a synergist of the latissimus dorsito initiate abduction of the arm, to stabilize the shoulder joint and to help prevent downward dislocation of the humerus.to help hold the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity and rotate the humerus laterallyNext
