C5: anterior shoulder
C6: thumb
C7: middle finger
C8: pinky
T1: antero-medial elbow
A separated shoulder refers to what?
Separation of the acromioclavicular joint
Which fingers does the median nerve innervate?
Digits 1-3.5 (half of the ring finger)
Which muscles do shoulder abduction?
deltoid, supraspinatus
which muscles do shoulder adduction?
latissimus dorsi, pec major
Which muscles do shoulder internal rotation?
subscapularis
Which muscles do shoulder external rotation?
infraspinatus, teres minor
Which muscles do scapular elevation?
trapezius
Which muscles do scapular protraction?
serratus anterior
Which muscles do scapular retraction?
Rhomboids and middle trapezius
Where do the quadracepts and sartorius originate and insert?
Vastus medialis/intermedius/lateralis: originate on femur, inserts in quadracepts tendon (tibial tuberosity)
Rectus femoris: originates below ASIS on hip bone, inserts in quadracepts tendon
Sartorius: orginates at ASIS, inserts in pes anserine (S-G-T)
What is the main structure coursing adjacent to the radial sulcus?
The radial nerve
Which muscles flex the elbow?
biceps brachii, brachialis
Which muscles extend the elbow?
triceps
Which muscles supinate the forearm?
biceps brachii
supinator
Which muscles pronate the forearm?
Pronator teres
Pronator quadratus
Where do biceps and brachialis insert?
Biceps- ulna
Brachilalis- radius
What are the compartments of the arm, their innervation and their blood supply?
Anterior Compartment (flexor of elbow):
- Muscles
- Biceps brachii
- brachialis
- coracobrachialis
- Nerve
- musculocutaneous
- Blood
- brachial artery
Posterior compartment (extensor of elbow)
- Muscles
- triceps
- Nerve
- radial nerve
- Blood
- radial artery
What are the contents of the cubital fossa?
The median nerve, the brachial artery, the biceps tendon, median cubital vein
Sensory distribution of the axillary nerve
skin covering deltoid
What structures pass through the carpal tunnel?
4 tendons of flexor digitorum profunda
4 tendors of flexor digitorum superficialis
tendon from flexor pollicus longus
median nerve
What are the borders of the anatomical snuffbox and what does it contain?
external tendon: extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus
Internal tendon: extensor pollicis longus
containsL radial artery
can palpate scaphoid bone
What are the carpal bones?
Mnemonic: some lovers try positions// that they cannot handle
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate
(trapezium rhymes with thumb, so its next to the thumb)
What are the intrinsic muscles of the hand and how are they grouped?
Thenar:
- abductor pollicis brevis
- flexor pollicis brevis
- opponens
Hypothenar:
- abductor digiti minimi
- flexor digiti minimi brevis
- opponens digiti minimi
Central muscles
- lumbricals
- interossei
- adductor pollicis
What leg compartment is most likely to develop compartment syndrome? What is the treatment?
The anterior compartment. Fasciotomy is the treatment for acute compartment syndrome.
Contents passing beneath the flexor retinaculum of the foot? What is this space called?
Tarsal tunnel
Tom Dick And Nervous Harry (anterior–> posterior)
- tibialis posterior tendon
- tendon of flexor digitorum longus
- posterior tibial artery
- tibial nerve
- flexor hallucis longus tendon
What would you expect with loss of the common fibular nerve?
Supplies lateral (superficial) and anterior (deep) leg compartments, so you would lose eversion (lateral) and dorsiflexion (anterior)
Sensory nerve distribution to the sole of the foot (lateral and medial plantar nerves)
Comparable to median and ulnar sensory in the hand: medial supplies medial 3.5 digits, lateral supplies lateral 1.5 digits
What is the pectoral girdle?
Clavicle and scapula- its the part of that attaches the upper limb to the trunk
What muscles attach to the supraglenoid tubercl, the infraglenoid tubercle and the coracoid process?
supraglenoid tubercle: long head of biceps
infraglenoid tubercle: short head of triceps?
coracoid: pec minor, coracobrachialis, short head of biceps
Course of the cephalic and basillic veins?
note cephalis runs between deltoid and pec major
What are the borders of axilla?
What are the different parts of the brachial plexus and what spinal roots does it involve
C5-T1
Randy Travis Drinks COld Beer
(Roots Trunks Divisions Cords Branches)
What spinal levels are these nerves:
- musculocutaneous
- Median
- Ulnar
- Axillary
- Radial
musculocutaneous: C5,6,7
Median: C5 to T1
Ulnar: (C7,C8,T1)
Axillary (C5,6)
Radial (C5 to T1)
What are the myotomes for: C5-T1
C5: Deltoid (axillary)
C6: wrist extension (radial)
C7: wrist flexion (median)
C8: Finger flexion (median)
T1: finger abduction (ulnar)
