- Malcolm injured himself after trying to break his fall with outstretched arms. The emergency room physician took one look at his shoulder and saw that Malcolm had a broken clavicle (and no other injury). Describe the position of Malcolm’s shoulder. What part of the clavicle was most likely broken? Malcolm was worried about injury to the main blood vessels to his arm (the subclavian vessels), but he was told such injury was unlikely. Why could the doctor predict this?arrow_forwardName the joint that contains the (a) glenoid cavity and labrum; (b) cruciate ligaments and menisci; (c) anular ligament and head of radius; (d) coronoid process, trochlea, and radial collateral ligament; (e) medial and lateral ligaments and talus.arrow_forwardWhile playing on her set, 10 year old sally falls and breaks her right leg.
