Q

Particular risk of a scaphoid fracture? Why is this so?

A

Avascular necrosis; retrograde blood supply to scaphoid which enters distal end.
Pts with missed scaphoid fracture more likely to develop OA later in life.

Q

What are the two common fractures of the metacarpals?

A

Boxer’s fracture: fracture of the 5th metacarpal neck; usually caused by clenched fist striking a hard object. Distal part of the fracture disaplced anteriorlty, producing shortening of the affected finger.

Bennett’s fracture: fracture of the 1st metacarpal base, caused by forced hyperabduction of the thumb.

Q

Why is there a high risk of avascular necrosis to the talus?

A

Numerous ligaments attach tot he talus, no muscles originate or insert onto it. So high risk of AN as vascular supply dependent on fascial structures.

What are the four namin anatomical dvision of the stomach?
Cardia, fundus, body, pyolrus
58
Whihc level is the stomach at?
T11 is the cardia, L1 is the pylorus
59
Describe the greater curvature of the stomach
orms the long, convex, lateral border of the stomach. Arising at the cardiac notch, it arches backwards and passes inferiorly to the left. It curves to the right as it continues medially to reach the pyloric antrum. The short gastric arteries and the right and left gastro-omental arteries supply branches to the greater curvature
60
Describe the lesser curve
forms the shorter, concave, medial surface of the stomach. The most inferior part of the lesser curvature, the angular notch, indicates the junction of the body and pyloric region
61
Which ligament attaches to the lesser curvature?
hepatogastric ligament
62
Blood supply greater curve
gastro-omental arteries
63
Bloood supply lesser curve
Left gastric artery and right gastric branch of the hepatic artery
64
Superior to the stomach
Oesophagus and diaphragm
65
Anterior to stomach
greater omentum, diaphragm, left lobe liver, gall bladder
66
Posterior to the stomach
Lesser sac, pancreas, left kidney, left adrenal gland, spleen, splenic artery, transverse mesocolon
67
Sphincters of the stomach
inferior oesophageal sphincter | pyloric sphincter

Duodenum
70

Anatomical sphincter pylorus with smoothj muscle
71
When does emptying of the stomach occur?
When intragastric pressure overcomes resistance of the pylorus.
72
What is the peritoneum?

Epiploic formane, a hole in the lesser omentum
80
Arterial supply to the stomach comes from where?
Coeliac trunk and its branches.
81
Innervation o fthe stomach?
Autonomic NS: - parasympathetic nerve supply: anterioer and posterio vagal trunks, derived from teh vagus nerve. - sympathetic nerve supply arises form the T6-T9 spinal cord segments and passes tot he coeliac plexus via the greater splanchic nerve. Also contains some pain tranistting fibres.
82
Lymphatics stomach
gastric lymphatic vessels travel with the arteries along the greater and lesser curves stomach.
83
Where does lymph fluid drai into
Gastric and gastro-omental LN found on the curves
84
What do the efferent lymphatic vessels form these nodes connect to?
Coelaic LN, located posterior abdominal wall
85
3 maion causes for GORD?
dysfinction of the LES delayed gastric emptying hiatal hernia
86
How common is GORD?
5-7% population
87
Sx of GORD
dyspepsia, dysphagia, inupleasant taste mouth.
88
Whatv is a hital hernia?
Part of the stomach protrudes into teh chest through the oesophageal hiatus int eh diaphragm.
89
Two mian types of HH?
Sliding HH: LES slides superiorly, reflux common Cx as diaphragm no longer reinforcing sphincgter
90
Rolling HH
LES reamins in pllace, but a part of the stomach herniates into the chest next to it. This type is more likely to require surgery.
91
What effect does stimulation vagus nerve have?
Relxation of pyloric sphincter
92
What is SVT?
ocndiiton where heart beats suddenly much faster than normal [above 100bpm]
93
Can SVT happen during exercise?
Yes, jsut means it suddenly goes up
94
Sx of SVT?
heart beats faster usually for few minutes [can be several hours though] can happen several times a day or once a year - chest pain, feel weak, feel tired, feel sick can be associated Sx
95
Can be triggered by what SVT?
caffeine, tiredness, alcohol, drugs, often no obvious
96
Tx for SVT?
Medicine to control Cardioversion Catheter ablation
97
What are the 4 main types of SVT?
Atril fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricilar tachycardia, atrial flutter, WpW syndrome
98
Where does SVT stasrt from?
Either atria or AVN
99
Generally, cause of SVT?
Re-entry or increased automaticity.
100
Are they life threatening?
mostly unpleasant not life threatening. Risky if have IHD.
