37
Q

pronator quadratus

A

anterior interosseous branch ofmedian n.

pronates forearm

38
Q

flexor pollicis longus

A

anterior interosseous branch branch of median n.

flex thumb

39
Q

flexor digitorum profundus

A

Digit 4-5 ulnar n, digit 2-3 anterior interosseous branch of median n.
attaches to distal phalange so flexes finger there

40
Q

What occurs if you damage the accessory spinal nerve?

A

trapezius is paralyzed

patient is weak to shrug/elevate shoulders against resistance

41
Q

What nerve is injured if the patient is unable to shrug shoulders against resistance?

A

accessory spinal n nerve (trapezius)

42
Q

What occurs if you damage the thoracodorsal n.?

A

latissimus dorsi paralyzed
unable to pull body up (like climbing or pullup)
cannot use crutches because it displaces shoulder too far superiorly

43
Q

What nerve is injured if a patient is unable to pull up their bodyweight and their shoulders get displaced superiorly if using crutches? What is the most common cause of an injury to this nerve?

A

thoracodorsal n.

vulnerable to surgery due to its location

44
Q

What occurs if you damage the long thoracic nerve?

A

serratus anterior paralized

causes scapula to move laterally and posteriorly and has a “wing like” appearance

45
Q

Your patient was in a knife/gun fight has a wing like scapula, he is also unable to abduct past horizontal, what nerve is injured?

A

long thoracic nerve (serratus anterior paralized)

46
Q

What occurs if the suprascapular n is injured?

A

drop sign, patient cant do controlled adduction due to lack of innervation of supraspinatus and infraspinatus
probably cant laterally rotate either, maybe have instability

47
Q

A patient has drop sign and cant control their adduction, what nerve is injured?

A

suprascapular n. (supraspinatus and infraspinatus)

48
Q

What occurs if the axillary n is damaged? What is a common cause of this?

A

deltoid atrophy, weak deltoid movements

caused by dislocations/fractures

49
Q

A patient has an atrophied flat looking deltoid, what nerve is injured?

A

axillary (deltoid fucked)

50
Q

What occurs if the dorsal scapular n is injured?

A

rhomboids are useless

scapula on affected side moves further from midline (because rhomboids cant keep it in place

51
Q

A patient comes in with one scapula further from midline, what nerve is injured?

A

dorsal scapular n. (rhomboids weak)

52
Q

A

posterior interosseous nradial n

extend distal phalanx of thumb and IPJ and MPJ joints

63
Q

extensor pollicis brevis

A

posterior interosseousnradial n.

extend proximal phalanx of thumb at MPJ, extends CM joint

64
Q

extensor indicis

A

posterior interosseous radial n

extend point finger, assists in wrist extension

65
Q

What nerve is damaged if you fracture the surgical neck of the humerus?

A

axillary n.

causes deltoid and quadrangular space atrophy

66
Q

What nerve is damaged if you fracture the spiral groove of the humerus?

A

radial, causes wrist drop

67
Q
