Pectoral Girdles (Shoulder Girdles)<br />
The pectoral girdles consist of:<br />
Clavicle anteriorly & scapula posteriorly<br />
Anteriorly, the medial end of each clavicle joins the sternum<br />
The distal ends of the clavicle meet the scapulae laterally<br />
The scapulae are attached to the thorax & vertebral column by muscles<br />
The clavicle and scapula are light weight and very mobile<br />
However, there is a price to pay…greater mobility means poor stability<br />
often resulted in a painful dislocated shoulder<br />
