3: Forearm and wrist Flashcards
Medial supracondylar ridge of humerus
Lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus
What does it articulate with?
Capitulum of humerus (lateral)
Articulates with the radius
Trochlea of humerus (medial)
Articulates with the ulna
Coronoid fossa of humerus
Olecranon fossa of humerus
Radial Fossa of humerus
What is the main function of the ulna?
To stabelise the forearm
Olecranon of Ulnar
Coronoid process of ulna
Styloid process of ulna
What is the head of the ulna?
articular surface that joints with the triangular articular disc and the ulnar notch of the radius
Identify the Trochlea and radial notch of the ulna
What are the articulate surfaces of the bones in the ellbow joint covered with?
Hyaline cartilage
What are the medial and lateral epicondyle of the humerus?
How are the ligaments in the elbow joint arranged?
They should stabelise the joint, but also allow movement of the joint
Explain the articulations of the bones in the elbow joint in anatomical position and in flexion
The Trochlea of the Humerus articulates witht the Ulna in the anatomical position
The Radius additionally articulates with the capitulum in full flexion
What is the carrying angle?
How big is it normally and what is the sex difference?
It is the deviation of the long axis of the radius and ulnar in the anatomical position
On average, it is 7°, but larger in women
(Elbow)
Medial/Ulnar collateral ligaments
Radial collateral ligament
Anular ligement of radius
What is it?
Which clinical problems can occur with the structure?
It is the olecralon bursa, that can get inflammed
Name all the proximal and distal carpal bones
Proximal Row:
From lateral to medial when vieved anteriorly:
Proximal row
- Some - Scaphoid
- Lovers - Lunate
- Try - Triquetrum
- Positions - Psisiform
Distal row
- That - Trapezium
- They - Trapezoid
- Can’t - Capitate
- Handle - Hamate
What is a “pulled elbow” in children?
The subluxion of the radial head out of the proximal radio-ulnar joint
This can be painful but can easily be repositioned (in supination)
