Source Thyrocervical trunk
Vein suprascapular vein
Supplies supraspinatus muscle, (sternocleidomastoid), (subclavius)
• Subclavian artery gives off the thyrocervical trunk.• Thyrocervical trunk divides into transverse cervical and suprascapular arteries.• The suprascapular artery (or transverse scapular artery) is a branch of the thyrocervical trunk.• At first, it passes downward and laterally across the scalenus anterior and phrenic nerve, being
covered by the sternocleidomastoid muscle;• it then crosses the subclavian artery and the brachial plexus, running behind and parallel
with the clavicle and subclavius muscle and beneath the inferior belly of the omohyoid to the superior border of the scapula.
• It passes OVER the superior transverse scapular ligament (unlike the suprascapular nerve, which passes below the ligament).
• The artery then enters the supraspinatous fossa of the scapula.• It travels close to the bone, running between the scapula and the supraspinatus muscle, to
which it supplies branches.• It then descends behind the neck of the scapula, through the great scapular notch and under
cover of the inferior transverse ligament, to reach the infraspinatous fossa, where it anastomoses with the scapular circumflex artery and the descending branch of the transverse cervical artery.
Suprascapular artery 1/2
• Besides distributing branches to the sternocleidomastoid , subclavius , and neighboring muscles,
• It gives off a suprasternal branch, which crosses over the sternal end of the clavicle to the skin of the upper part of the chest;
• It gives off an acromial branch, which pierces the trapezius and supplies the skin over the acromion.
• Just as with supplying the subclavius muscle, it anastomoses with the thoracoacromial artery in supplying skin areas.
• As the artery passes over the superior transverse scapular ligament, it sends a branch into the subscapular fossa, where it ramifies beneath the subscapularis, and anastomoses with the subscapular artery and with the dorsal scapular artery.
• It also sends articular branches to the acromioclavicular joint and the shoulder joint, and a nutrient artery to the clavicle.
Suprascapular artery 2/2
Suprascapular nerve
Innervates supraspinatus, infraspinatus
From C5–C6 of brachial plexus
• The suprascapular nerve arises from the trunk formed by the union of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves.
• It innervates the supraspinatus muscles and infraspinatus muscles.• It runs lateralward beneath the Trapezius and the Omohyoideus, and
enters the supraspinatous fossa through the suprascapular notch, BELOW the superior transverse scapular ligament;
• It then passes beneath the Supraspinatus, and curves around the lateral border of the spine of the scapula to the infraspinatous fossa.
• In the supraspinatous fossa it gives off two branches to the Supraspinatus muscle, and an articular filament to the shoulder-joint;
• and in the infraspinatous fossa it gives off two branches to the Infraspinatous muscle, besides some filaments to the shoulder-joint and scapula.
Suprascapular nerve
Acromio-clavicular joint
Acromioclavicular joint
• The acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint, is a joint at the top of the shoulder. It is the junction between the acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle.
Ligaments The ACROMIOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT
• The joint is stabilized by three ligaments:1. The acromioclavicular ligament, which attaches the clavicle to the acromion
of the scapula.• Superior Acromioclavicular Ligament This ligament is a quadrilateral band,
covering the superior part of the articulation, and extending between the upper part of the lateral end of the clavicle and the adjoining part of the upper surface of the acromion.
• It is composed of parallel fibers, which interlace with the aponeuroses of the Trapezius and Deltoideus; below, it is in contact with the articular disk when this is present.
• Inferior Acromioclavicular Ligament This ligament is somewhat thinner than the preceding; it covers the under part of the articulation, and is attached to the adjoining surfaces of the two bones.
• It is in relation, above, in rare cases with the articular disk; below, with the tendon of the Supraspinatus.
The CORACOACROMIAL LIGAMENT2. The coracoacromial ligament, which runs from the coracoid process to the acromion.• The Coracoacromial Ligament is a strong triangular band, extending between the coracoid
process and the acromion.• It is attached, by its apex, to the summit of the acromion just in front of the articular
surface for the clavicle; and by its broad base to the whole length of the lateral border of the coracoid process.
• This ligament, together with the coracoid process and the acromion, forms a vault for the protection of the head of the humerus.
• It is in relation, above, with the clavicle and under surface of the Deltoideus; below, with the tendon of the Supraspinatus, a bursa being interposed.
• Its lateral border is continuous with a dense lamina that passes beneath the Deltoideus upon the tendons of the Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus.
• The ligament is sometimes described as consisting of two marginal bands and a thinner intervening portion, the two bands being attached respectively to the apex and the base of the coracoid process, and joining together at the acromion.
• When the Pectoralis minor is inserted, as occasionally is the case, into the capsule of the shoulder-joint instead of into the coracoid process, it passes between these two bands, and the intervening portion of the ligament is then deficient.
The CORACOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT
3. The coracoclavicular ligament, which consists of two ligaments, the conoid and the trapezoid ligaments.
• The Coracoclavicular Ligament serves to connect the clavicle with the coracoid process of the scapula.
• It does not properly belong to the acromioclavicular joint articulation, BUT is usually described with it, since it forms a most efficient means of retaining the clavicle in contact with the acromion.
• It consists of two fasciculi, called – trapezoid ligament – conoid ligament.
• These ligaments are in relation, in front, with the Subclavius and Deltoideus; behind, with the Trapezius.
Topographic Anatomy of the Scapular Region
• QUADRANGULAR SPACE• the space bounded by the
teres minor m. superiorly, the teres major m. inferiorly, the long head of the triceps brachii m. medially and the humerus laterally.
• the axillary n. and the posterior circumflex humeral a. pass through this space.
TRIANGULAR INTERVAL
• The interval between the teres major m. superiorly, long head of the triceps brachii m. medially and humerus laterally.
• The radial n. passes through this interval to get from the axilla to the posterior surface of the humerus.
TRIANGULAR SPACE
• The space bounded by the teres minor m. superiorly, the teres major m. inferiorly and the long head of the triceps brachii m. laterally.
• The circumflex scapular vessels are located in this space as they pass from the axilla to the dorsum of the scapula.
subscapular artery Circumflex scapular artery
The circumflex scapular artery (scapular circumflex artery, dorsalis scapulae artery) is a branch of the subscapular artery and part of the scapular anastomoses.It curves around the axillary border of the scapula, travelling through the anatomical "Triangular space" made up of the Subscapularis (Teres minor) superiorally, the Teres major inferiorally, and the long head of the Triceps laterally.It enters the infraspinatous fossa under cover of the Teres minor, and anastomoses with the transverse scapular artery (suprascapular) and the descending branch of the transverse cervical.
