Q

What does the Capitulum do?

A

Articulates with the Fovea of the Radius

17
Q

What are the two anterior depressions on the distal end of the Humerus?

A

Coranoid Fossa

Radial Fossa

18
Q

What is the posterior depression on the distal end of the Humerus called?

A

The Olecranon Fossa

19
Q

What injury can be caused by severe abduction of the extended elbow?

A

Avulsion of the Medial Humeral Epicondyle

20
Q

What attaches to the Ulnar Tuberosity?

A

The Brachialis Muscle

21
Q

Where does the Ulna articulate with the Carpals?

A

It doesn’t!

There is an articular disc that keeps them separate.

22
Q

What sort of fracture is a “fractured elbow?”

A

Avulsion Fracture of the Olecranon Process

Difficult to repair because the Triceps Bracii Muscle pulls it away.

23
Q

What attaches to the Radial Tuberosity?

A

The Biceps Brachii Tendon

24
Q

What are the four bones of the Proximal Carpal Row?

A

Scaphoid

Lunate

Triquetrium

Pisiform

25
Q

What are the four bones of the Distal Carpal Row

A

Trapezium

Trapezoid

Capitate

Hamate

26
Q

What is the most commonly fractured carpal?

A

Scaphoid B.

27
Q

What are the structures of the medial and lateral border of the Carpal Tunnel?

A

Medial Border:

Hamulus of the Hamate B.

Pisiform Bone

Lateral Border:

Tubercle of the Scaphoid B.

Tubercle of the Trapezium

28
Q

What tunnel is being compressed by someone leaning on handlebars?

A

The Guyon Tunnel

29
Q

What makes up the Guyon Tunnel?

A

Bones: The Pisiform and the Hamulus of the Hamate

Ligaments: The Pisohamate Ligament and the Pisometacarpal Ligament

30
Q

What special osteological feature does the third metacarpal have that the others don’t?

A

A Styloid Process

31
Q

What bone does the Pollux not have?

A

An Intermediate Phalanx

32
Q

What ring of fibrocartilage surrounds and deepens the Glenohumeral Joint?

A

The Glenoid Labrum

33
Q

A rapid contraction of the Biceps Brachii M. can eventually cause a tear in what structure - and what part is likely to be affected?

A

The Glenoid Labrum can be torn in this manner.

Usually (especially when pitching a baseball) this happens in the anterosuperior part.
