Q

What joint does Flexor digitorum superficialis m. flex?

A

Flexes the intermediate phalangeal joint

17
Q

What happens in Golfer’s Elbow? (Pitchers elbow, Bowler’s elbow) 12

A

Excessive use of pronator teres m. And flexor carpi radialis m. Causes inflammation in the tendons by their origin (medial epicondyle of the humerus)

Inflammation impinges median nerve causing pain

18
Q

How does the median nerve travel down the forearm? 13

A

Crosses the Cubital fossa medially

dives between the heads of pronator teres m.

runs between the digitorum profundus m. and the flexor digitorum superficialis m.

enters the palm

19
Q

Where does the Ulnar Nerve travel within the forearm? 14

A

travels under the Flexor carpi Ulnaris m.

near the wrist it travels between the transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum) and the palmar carpal ligament

enters palm

20
Q

What does antebrachial fascia continue as posteriorly by the wrist?

A

extensor retinaculum

flexor retinaculum on the anterior side

21
Q

What is the significance of the radial tuberosity?

A

insertion for biceps brachii tendon

22
Q

What is the significance of the radial anterior oblique line?

A

origin of flexor digitorum superficialis

23
Q

What is the significance of the posterior oblique line?

A

origin for abductor pollicis longus

24
Q

What is the significance of the olecranon of the Ulna?

A

it articulates w/ the trochlea of the humerus

25
Q

What joint does Flexor digitorum profundus m. flex? What is unique about its tendon? 10

A

the tendon feeds through the tendon of the flexor digitorum superficialis

the FDP m. flexes the distal interphalangeal joint

26
Q

When does the brachial artery divide? What does the brachial artery divide into? 15

A

divides at the inferior cubital fossa

Divides into:
Radial a.
Ulnar a. –> common interosseous –> ant. and posterior interosseous a.

27
Q

What is anterior Interosseous Syndrome? 16

A

damage to the anterior interosseous nerve branch of the median n.

unable to flex thumb

28
Q

What muscles does the anterior Interosseous branch of the Median n. innervate? 16

A

Flexor Pollicus Longus m.

Flexor digitorum profundus m.

29
Q

What is Claw hand? 17

A

Ulnar n. damage

MPJ of all digits becomes hyperextended

IPJ flex because they are unopposed

30
Q

What is Hand of Benediction? 17

A

Median n. damage

loss of flexion of PIJ 1-3

loss of flexion of DIJ/MPJ 2-3

loss of flexion of lumbricals 1-2

31
Q

What nerve innervates all of the anterior arm?

A

Musculocutaneous n.

32
Q

What nerves innervates the posterior arm and forearm*?

A

posterior arm - radial n.

Posterior forearm - radial n. (AND BRANCHES)

33
Q

What is the arrangement of the anterior forearm? What muscles are found in each arrangement?

A

(superficial) 4 –> 1 –> 3 (deep) ( 4 - 1 = 3)

Pass.Fail.Pass.Fail

(Brachioradialis m.)  - radial n.
(Pass) --> Pronator teres m.
(Fail) --> Flexor Carpi radialis m.
(Pass) --> Palmaris longus m. - only 30% of people have
(Fail) --> Flexor Carpi Ulnaris m.

Flexor Digitorum Superficialis m. (girlie fist)

Flexor Digitorum Profundus m. (man fist)
Flexor Pollicis Longus (tucks thumb)
Pronator Quadratus m. (flips hand over)
(now you’re ready to fight)

34
Q

What muscles of the forearm are innervated by the Ulnar n.?

A

Ulnar n. is pinched between:

Flexor Carpi ulnaris m.
Flexor digitorum profundus m. (1/2 the muscle)

35
Q

What does 1/2 LOAF mean???

A

refers to the hand
1/2 LOAF = median n.

2nd digit lumbrical
3rd digit lumbrical
Opponens
Abductor pollicis
Flexor pollicis
36
Q

Everything - 1/2 LOAF = ???

A

everything besides 1/2 LOAF is innervated by the Ulnar n.

37
Q

What is the acronym for the Cubital anastomoses?

A

S uperior ulnar collateral - Medial
I nferior Ulnar collateral - medial
M iddle collateral - lateral
R adial collateral - lateral

P osterior ulnar recurrent - medial
A nterior ulnar recurrent - medial
I nterosseous recurrent - lateral
R adial recurrent - lateral
