Upper extremity, MEMBRUM
SUPERIUS  subpectorale).
SUBCLAVIAN AREA, REGIO INFRACLAVICULAR "
Subclavian region applies to the chest and the upper extremity. However, sections
of the subclavian region involved in the formation of the axillary fossa, and it
adjoins directly to the main neurovascular bundle of the upper extremity -
axillary. In this connection, in topographic anatomy subclavian region is
considered as part of the shoulder girdle, or shoulder girdle.
External benchmarks. Clavicle, sternum, pectoral muscle, the front edge of the
deltoid muscle. Below the clavicle, between the clavicular portion of large pectoral
muscle and the anterior edge of the deltoid muscle, on the border between the outer
and middle third of the clavicle, often revealed subclavian fossa, fossa in-
fraclavicularis, or fossa Morengeyma [Mohrenheim |, passing distally into the
deltoid, thoracic furrow, sulcus deltopectoralis,, reaching the anterior edge of the
deltoid muscle to the shoulder lateral grooves (Fig. 3.1).
Deep furrows on 1,5-2 cm below the clavicle can propal-opy coracoid
blade, processus coracoideus.
Boundaries. Upper - clavicle; m edialnaya - outer edge of the sternum, the
bottom - the horizontal line, corresponding to the third intercostal space, lateral -
the front edge of the deltoid muscle.
Projections. With external reference points can be made projections of the
following entities.
From the front ends of III-V ribs to subcoracoid small triangle projected pectoralis
minor, ie pectoralis minor (Fig. 3.2). With this muscle on the skin under 
MOP.SU ]
breast, and brisket (trigonum clavipecto-rale, trigonum pectorale and trigonum
Within these triangles are usually considered the topography of the axillary
neurovascular bundle: a., v. axillaris, plexus brachialis and its branches (for
details, see the section on the armpit).
The projection of the axillary neurovascular bundle in this area is carried out from
the medial half of the middle third of the clavicle downwards and outwards to the
boundary between the lower and middle third of the deltoid-pectoral sulcus. The
projection of v. axillaris occupies the medial part of the beam. By sulcus
deltopectoralis projected v. cephalica.
 Layers
The skin is thin, moderately mobile.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue without features developed individually. There are
supraclavicular nerves of cervical plexus.
Superficial fascia in the upper third of the field forms a pouch for platysma
(platysma), starting from its own fascia chest. At the level of P-III edges of fascia
condenses, forming a suspensory ligament of the breast, or bundles of Cooper
[Cooper]. On all boundaries of the subclavian fascia transferred to the neighboring
area.
Own fascia area, fascia pectoralis, surrounds the pectoral muscle in the front and
rear of the superficial and deep leaves. Between them, sharing the large pectoral
muscle fibers, there are numerous fascial bridge.
As a result, the spread of suppurative processes in the muscle occurs from the
surface to depth. Along the jumpers are also lymphatic vessels, which explains the
2 Глава 3
spread of metastases in breast cancer at the deep surface of the large pectoral
muscle.
Superficial and deep fascia pectoralis at the top of the sheets are attached to the
fascia of the subclavian muscle, as well as to the superficial fascia sheet own neck
(second fascia on Shevkunenko). Downstairs they accrete on the outer edge of the
large pectoral muscle, thus forming a closed case for it. Behind the clavicle to the I
part of the fifth rib is attached the fascia of the neck (prespinal), covering the
scalenus anticus.
The next layer (Fig. 3.3) is a fiber subpektoral-space, spatium
subpectorale (detail of its wall will be described below).
Deeper still lies clavicular-pectoral fascia, fascia clavipectoralis. At the top it
starts from the clavicle and the rostral process of the scapula, with the medial side -
at the beginning of low breast -
     I - clavicula; 2 - m. sub-clavius; 3 - m. pectoralis major, 4 -
m. pectoralis minor, 5 - spatium subpectorale; 6 - fascia tho-racica; 7 - fascia
clavipectoralis; 8 - cellulose axillary fossa, 9 - fascia axillaris; 10 - fascia
endothoracica; 11 - fascia thoracica; 12 - m. serratus anterior; 13 - pleura
parietalis; 14 - a. et v. axilkres.
Noah muscle (III-Vrebra), bottom and outside of it is attached to the deep fascia
sheet m. pectoralis major at its outer edge. Thick bundles of clavicular-grutsnoy
fascia at this point form a bundle that attach to the axillary fascia, fascia axillaris
(Fig. 3.4).
These bundles are called suspensory ligament, lig. suspensorium axillae, or a
bunch of poles [Gerdy].
MOP.SU ]
About clavicular fascia is also sealed. Here it is adjacent to the subclavian
Vienna, which with a sharp derivation hands can be squeezed between the fascia,
clavicle and rib with the possibility of acute thrombosis of the vein.
F. clavipectoralis makes case for the pectoralis minor and subclavian
muscles, m. subclavius.
 Thus subpektoralnoe klegchatochnoe space located between the major and
minor pectoral muscles and their fascial veils.
The front wall of the space - a deep piece of fascia pectoral muscle.
Rear - clavicular-pectoral fascia, covering the small pectoral muscle.
Above it is closed at the clavicle, where both fascia fused.
Medially it is locked in place of the beginning of the two muscles of the ribs.
Lateral and bottom of the space is closed fusion fascia of the pectoral muscle and
the clavicular-pectoral fascia on the outer edge of the pectoral muscle.
The next layer - fiber upper division axillary fossa, which is the main
neurovascular bundle - axillary vessels and the first beams, and then the branches
of the brachial plexus (sometimes this layer is called a deep subpektoralnym
space).
Behind this fiber has its own pectoral fascia, fascia thoracica, covering the serratus
anterior and intercostal space (see Fig. 3.3).
Topography of the neurovascular bundle
In the subclavian region is considered the topography of that part of the armpit of
the beam, which passes within-clavicular and thoracic triangle (between the
clavicle and the upper edge of pectoralis minor).
In this triangle just below the clavicular-pectoral axillary fascia
is Vienna, v. axillaris, emerging from beneath the upper edge of the pectoralis
3 Глава 3
minor and in an oblique direction going from the bottom up to a point located at
2.5 cm medially from the middle of the clavicle. The area between the rib and
clavicle I already called subclavian Vienna. Fascial sheath veins are closely
associated with the subclavian muscle fascia and periosteum I edge that serves as
an obstacle to spadeniyu its walls.
In this regard, if damaged veins there is a danger of air embolism. However
temhoroshaya fixation veins can produce at this stage of its puncture.
Axillary artery, a. axillaris, lies laterally and deeper veins. In clavicular-pectoral
triangle from the axillary artery leaves the upper thoracic artery, a. thoracica
superior, branching in the first and second intercostal space, and
grudoakromialnaya artery, a. thoracoacromialis, almost immediately falls into
three branches: the deltoid, chest and acromion. They pierced Klyucharev-
chichno-thoracic fascia and sent to the appropriate muscles. On the same site
through the fascia of the deltoid-pectoral sulcus in the axillary fossa is lateral
subcutaneous Vienna hands, v. cephalica, and empties into the axillary vein (see
Fig. 3.4).
Bunches of the brachial plexus are located laterally and deeper into the artery.
Thus, in the direction from front to back, and with the medial side of the lateral
elements of the neurovascular bundle are the same: first Vienna, then the artery,
then the brachial plexus (a method for storing - VAPleks).
At the medial margin of the axillary vein is located apical group of lymph
nodes under the arm pits.

SHOULDER AREA, REGIO SCAPULARIS
External benchmarks. The top edge of the scapula is located on level II edge
(medial angle reaches a level I rib), the bottom corner - at the level VIII
ribs. Arista shoulder corresponds roughly III edge.
The most accessible to palpation, and therefore the most reliable external
landmarks are the medial edge of the blade, its lower corner, barb and scapula
acromion. The line connecting the lateral part of the acromion and the bottom
corner of the blade corresponds to the lateral margin of the scapula, which is often
not possible to palpate because for the cover up his muscles.

artery (a. subscapularis) by anastomosis of the blade circle of blood circulation can
be maintained throughout the upper extremity. More information stated in the
section "collateral circulation in the areas of shoulder girdle.
From the angle of the scapula and the lower half of its lateral margin and on the
outer surface of the infraspinatus fascia begins a large round muscle. Its upper
edge adjoins the bottom of the veiled infraspinatus fascia small circular muscle;
crosses behind the long head tendon of triceps, which extends anteriorly, a small
circular muscle. The gap between the circular muscle is divided thus into two
divisions: the medial (triangular hole) and lateral (four hole) (Fig. 3.7).

Deltoid AREA, REGIO DELTOIDEA
The region is located outwards from the shoulder corresponds to the contour of the
deltoid muscle covering the shoulder joint and upper third of the humerus.
External benchmarks. Clavicle, acromion and scapula arista, the convexity of the
deltoid muscle, its front and rear edges of the deltoid-pectoral groove. When
dislocations in the shoulder joint, the convexity of the deltoid muscle is smoothed
out, replaced by the dimple.
Boundaries. Upper - outer third of the clavicle, acromion and the outer third of the
scapular spine. The bottom - line on the outer surface of the shoulder that connects
the lower edge of pectoral muscles and latissimus dorsi. Front and rear

Projections. In the course of the deltoid-pectoral sulcus projected lateral
subcutaneous Vienna hands, v. cephalica. The vertical line lowered down from the
posteroexternal acromion angle to the intersection with the rear edge of the
m.deltoideus (average 6 cm in the derivation of the upper extremity of the torso to
the right angle, this distance is equal to 2,5-3,0 cm), projected onto the
neurovascular bundle region - n. axillaris et aa. circumflexae humeri anterior et

nerve. Here in inflammation (arthritis), the shoulder joint is determined at a
pressure sore. This point is located under the rear edge of the deltoid muscle.
Layers
Leather relatively thick, inactive.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue is well defined, especially near caudineural border
region, has a cellular structure. Approximately in the middle of the rear edge of the
deltoid muscle in the subcutaneous fat from under their own fascia beyond the
axillary nerve branch, n. cutaneus brachii lateralis superior.
Superficial fascia is poorly developed.
Own fascia, fascia deltoidea, the upper boundary of the region is firmly fused
with the clavicle, acromion and spine of the scapula. At the front and the bottom
line, it freely passes into the fascia pectoralis and the fascia brachii. At the front of
the border area, in the sulcus deltopectoralis, in the cleavage of its own fascia is
v. cephalica, which goes further into the subclavian region.
Own fascia is superficial and deep sheets, which form the case for the deltoid
muscle. Both leaf bind numerous spurs that divide the individual muscle fibers. In
two places the spurs are particularly well developed: they share the three portions
of the deltoid muscle to the places of their attachment - clavicular, pars
clavicularis, acromion, pars acromialis, and spinous processes, pars spinalis.
P oddeltovidnoe kletchatochnoe space located between the deep leaf of fascia
deltoidea (at the deep surface of the deltoid muscle) and the proximal end of the
humerus with the shoulder joint and its capsule. In the fiber space is the
neurovascular bundle, as well as subdeltoid synovial bag, bursa subdeltoidea,
surrounding a large tubercle humerus. This tubercle attached to the tendon-
dostnoy, infraspinatus and a small circular muscle. Almost as a rule, subdeltoid
bag communicates with the other mucosal pouch, located under the acromion
(bursa subacromial).

Topography of vessels and nerves. The main element of the neurovascular bundle
- n. axillaris, branch of the posterior bundle of the brachial plexus. It innervates the
deltoid muscle. Fascial sheath of the beam associated with a piece of deep fascia
of the deltoid muscle. Passing of the axillary fossa through the foramen
quadrilaterum, it adjoins to the armpit volvulus, recessus axillaris, capsule of the
shoulder joint, and then goes around the surgical neck, shoulder, back to front.
N. axillaris lies proximal posterior artery, the envelope of the humerus.
On the deep surface of the deltoid muscle a. circumflexa humeri
posterior anastomose with a. circumflexa humeri anterior, coming also from the
axillary fossa, but on the front surface of the surgical neck of the shoulder. The
two arteries anastomose well as with the deltoid branch of
a. thoracoacromialis. These anastomoses provide collateral circulation in a loss of
blood flow to the axillary artery at the site between grudoakro-mialnoi artery and
the two arteries, the envelopes of the humerus. Anastomosis is also an important
anastomosis between the deltoid branch of the same name grudoakromialnoi artery
and a branch of the deep artery of the shoulder. This anastomosis plays an
important role at a loss of blood flow in the arm - the brachial artery in the area
between the subscapularis artery and the deep artery of the shoulder.
At the turn of the humerus at the surgical neck of possible infringement of the
axillary nerve. Sometimes the nerve is involved in developing callus and
compressed it. It is also possible involvement of the nerve in the inflammatory
process in suppurative disease of the shoulder joint, and the breakthrough of pus
from the capsule through the recessus axillaris. In all such situations there is an
infringement of cutaneous sensitivity in the area of its branches, and most
importantly, develops paresis or paralysis of the deltoid muscle.  It will be
apparent inability abduction of shoulder to the horizontal level (loss of function of
the deltoid muscle).

External benchmarks. Attaching to shoulder a big chest and latissimus dorsi, biceps
brachii, the inner and outer nadmyschelki shoulder, medial and lateral grooves in the
respective edges of the biceps muscles of the shoulder. Sylvian fissure proximally moves
in the deltoid, thoracic furrow. Distally both furrows pass in front elbow. In the course of
the medial sulcus can palpate the humerus and here clung to her brachial artery with
bleeding. For this reason, the imposition of harness most effectively, it is in the shoulder.
Boundaries. The upper boundary of the region is on the line connecting the point of
attachment to shoulder a big chest and latissimus dorsi, the lower boundary is drawn

base nadmyschelka).
N. radialis projected onto the front surface of the skin in the lower third of the shoulder
along the Sylvian fissure. (Portion of the lateral fissure shoulder on examination revealed
poorly because of excessive growth of subcutaneous adipose tissue. In such cases, the
projection lines use the lateral border of the front side of the shoulder.)
Layers
The skin in front of the shoulder on a thin, especially in the medial part of the region,
quite moving. In the skin of the medial surface of the upper half of the arm medial
cutaneous nerve branches shoulder, P. cutaneus brachii medialis, the medial bundle of the
brachial plexus.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue is loose. Superficial fascia is well expressed in the lower
third of the field, where it forms a pouch for the surface of neurovascular structures in the
rest of the field is weak.
Surface area of education: from the medial side (along the sulcus bicipitalis medialis) in the
bottom third of the shoulder is located medial subcutaneous Vienna hands, v. basilica, and
next to her branch subsection cutaneus antebrachii medialis. On the lateral side, along the
sulcus bicipitalis lateralis, in its entirety is lateral subcutaneous Vienna hands, v. cephalica,
which is near the upper boundary of the region goes into sulcus deltopectoralis.
Own fascia, fascia brachii, around the shoulder as a whole. On the border of the middle

Topography of the vessels and nerves of the anterior fascial bed
In the upper third of the shoulder n. medianus located next to the artery laterally from
it. Medially from the artery is n. ulnaris and more medial - n. cutaneus antebrachii
medialis. Medially from the main beam and the most medial surface lies v. basilica, which
is joined to the beam at the boundary of the upper and middle thirds, immediately upon
emerging from the channel Pirogov. In the upper third of the shoulder, the Vienna falls
either in one of the brachial vein, or goes into the axillary region and empties into the
axillary vein (Figure 3.17).

responsibility of the deep fascia that covers the shoulder muscles. On its way it gives
branches to all muscles of the front fascia-vidual bed.
At the border of the front of the shoulder and underarm area just below the lower edge of
latissimus dorsi tendon behind the artery is determined by a large trunk n. radialis. Almost
immediately, he sent to the rear fascial bed between the long and lateral heads of triceps
brachii.
Brachial artery in the upper third of the shoulder gives a large branch - deep artery of
arm, a. profunda brachii, which almost immediately goes along with the radial nerve in the
back fascial bed. On the border of the upper and middle third of the shoulder of the
brachial artery departs another branch: the upper ulnar collateral artery, a. collate-ralis
ulnaris superior, which is then accompanied by ulnar nerve.
In the middle third of the shoulder n. medianus located in front of the brachial artery
(intersecting it).
N. ulnaris shifted more medially from the arteries and on the border with the upper third
pierced the medial intermuscular wall, passing into the rear bed of the shoulder. Along
with him, and goes well. collateralis ulnaris superior.
N. cutaneus antebrachii medialis and left anterior fascial bed, going to the splitting of its
own fascia (channel Pi-horns), where in a fascial space goes v. basilica.
N. musculocutaneus directed obliquely downward and outward from the inside between the
biceps and shoulder muscles.
In the lower third of the shoulder n. medianus is already medial artery, but next to it. From
here departs artery, another branch of: a. collateralis ulnaris inferior. It comes down
sideways on the surface of the shoulder muscles in the elbow region (the name of the artery
is not associated with ulnar nerve, which is in the front bed is gone, and only refers to
elbow aside of course), which participates in the formation of ulnar collateral network.
On the lateral side of the lower third of the shoulder in the front box

brachioradialis muscles. In these cracks intermuscular nerve is accompanied by radial
collateral artery, a. collateralis radialis, - the terminal branch a. profunda brachii.
Here, on the border of the lower third of the shoulder with the front elbow, from the biceps
shoulder out a finite branch of the musculo-cutaneous nerve, which here is called the lateral

Subcutaneous adipose tissue are often developed considerably. After subcutaneous to the
skin area are cutaneous nerves: n. cutaneus brachii lateralis superior (from P. axillaris),
n. cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior and posterior cutaneous nerve of the shoulder, n.
cutaneus brachii posterior (from n. radialis), innervate nelateralnuyu rear surface of the
shoulder. At the boundary of the back of the shoulder and the back elbow goes through its
own rear fascia of the forearm cutaneous nerve, n. cutaneus antebrachii posterior (from n.
radialis). The abundance of cutaneous nerves in this area explains the frequent painful
intramuscular injection in the triceps brachii.
Own fascia covers m. triceps brachii. However, as mentioned the medial and lateral
intermuscular septa own fascia forms the rear fascial bed shoulder, compartimentum
brachii posterior. Content fastsialnogo rear bed are m. triceps brachii and radial nerve with
the accompanying deep artery of the shoulder. In the lower third of the shoulder in the

Topography of the neurovascular bundle
Radial nerve comes on the back surface of the shoulder from the front fastsialnogo bed
through the gap between the long and lateral heads of triceps. He then located in
plechemyshechnom canal, canalis humeromuscularis, helically envelope of the humerus in
its middle third. One wall of the channel formed bone, the other - the lateral head triceps
(Fig. 3.18).
In the middle third of the shoulder in the canalis humeromuscularis radial nerve adjoins
directly to the bone, which explains the appearance of paresis or paralysis after applying
tourniquet at mid-shoulder for a long time, or in cases of injury with fractures of the
diaphysis of the humerus.
However, the nerve is deep artery of arm, a. profunda brachii, which soon after the start

Layers
The skin is thin, through it often reveals the subcutaneous veins, which become strained
when you apply tourniquet on his shoulder. Keep in mind the mobility of the skin when
performing intravenous injections (good record with fingers).
Subcutaneous adipose tissue is developed individually, from a very thin layer to a
thickness of several centimeters. It is loose, layered. This explains the fact that the
hematoma, particularly after intravenous injection, spread wide, sometimes taking the form
of extensive bruising in the antecubital fossa.
In the deep layer of subcutaneous fat are the superficial veins and nerves (Fig. 3.19).
On the medial side is v. basilica, next to which are branches of subsection cutaneus
antebrachii medialis. At the level of the medial nadmyschelka inwards from v. basilica are
superficial ulnar lymph nodes, nodi lymphoidei cubitales superficiales. On the lateral side
is v. cephalica. These veins connect going sideways medial ulnar Vienna, v. mediana

here are v. mediana cephalica and v. mediana basilica, originating from v. mediana
antebrachii. Anastomosis in this case has the shape of the letter M. In any case, the
superficial veins are connected branch, perforating its own fascia, with deep veins.
Intravenous injection produced in v. mediana cubiti or v. mediana cephalica and
v. mediana basilica no two reasons. The first - with deep vein anastomosis, resulting in
these veins are fixed to its own fascia and become inactive. Second, in addition to these
superficial veins is no subcutaneous nerves, in contrast to v. cephalica and v. basilica.

Own fascia and walls form three fascial bed: medial, middle and lateral.
In the medial bed located muscles, starting from the medial nadmyschelka: in the first layer
is the most medial (closer to the edge of the elbow) is an elbow flexor wrists, so flexor
carpi ulnaris, laterally from it - a long palmar muscle, m.palmaris longus, flexor wrists and
then radiotherapy, m. flexor carpi radialis, and the most laterally, closer to the center field -
a round pronator, m. pronator teres, attach to the radial bone. Deeper is a superficial flexor
of fingers, m. flexor digitorum superficialis. It should be noted that in the elbow to
separate these muscles can be difficult, to trace their progress can already distally, in front
of the forearm.
On average, the bed surface is m. biceps brachii, attach to the radius, and deeper -
m. brachialis, attach to the ulna. Shoulder muscle covers the deepest layer of the area - the

Lower wall space in Paron - Pirogov no: it turns your wrist into the canal, canalis carpi,
where the tendons are superficial and deep flexors of the fingers, as well as the long flexor
of the thumb of the brush. This circumstance makes the space of great practical importance,
since it applies here suppurative processes of the lateral and middle floor brush. The
amount of space Paron - Pirogov is big enough: it can accommodate from 100 to 300 ml of
fluid (exudate).
Topography of neurovascular structures
Under its own front fascia of the forearm floor there are 4 neurovascular bundle.
The radiation beam, a. radialis with accompanying veins and the city superficialis n.
radialis, is the most superficially and laterally. In the upper third of the vessels and nerves
are located between m. brachioradialis laterally and the m.pronator teres medially, and in
the middle and lower thirds - respectively, between m. brachioradialis, and so flexor carpi
radialis. From a. radialis in the lower third of the forearm deviates ramus carpalis palmaris,
which goes towards this branch of the well. ulnaris. On the border with the anterior area of
the wrist the radial artery passes outwards under the tendons of mm. abductor pollicis
longus et extensor pollicis brevis and falls into the so-called anatomical snuffbox of the
wrist.
R. superficialis n. radialis lies laterally from the artery and accompanies her to the border
between the middle and lower third of the forearm. At this level the nerve deviates
outward, passes under the tendon m. brachioradialis, pierced his own fascia and enters the
subcutaneous layer of the wrist and the rear of the brush.
Elbow neurovascular bundle is formed at the boundary of the upper and middle third of the
area. In the upper third of the ulnar nerve and ulnar artery run separately. A. ulnaris passes
from the middle of the cubital fossa obliquely to the medial side of the front surface of the
forearm, having a m. pronator teres, and so flexor digitorum superficialis. At the boundary

At the upper border of the forearm from a. ulnaris starts overall intercostals
artery, a. interossea communis, which soon divided into aa. interosseae anterior et

forearm.
On the border of the middle and lower third of the forearm from a. departs ulnaris ramus

his own fascia and enters the subcutaneous tissues towards the rear of the wrist of the same

Kletchatochnoe space Paron - Pirogov, which may accumulate a considerable amount of
pus, relatively closed. There is one natural opening through which pus can spread to the
back of the forearm fascial bed. The hole in the intercostals membrane through which the
space Paron - Pirogov to the rear area of the forearm passes anterior intercostals artery.
Spread of pus along the course of the same artery, but in the proximal direction, it is very
rare, as the artery of its adventitia fused with the muscles, starting from intercostals
membrane.
Distally, as already mentioned, the space is directly connected with the canal of the wrist
and palmar surface of the brush.

N. ulnaris in the upper third lies between the heads so flexor carpi ulnaris, and only on the Collateral blood flow
edge of the middle third united with the arteries in the beam and the rest of the medially
located for her. On the front surface of the forearm are three fairly large artery: radial, ulnar and anterior
intercostals. They go hand in hand, have a lot of muscular branches, anastomosis between
