Anatomy Flashcards
Brachial plexus
Root
Trunk (C5,C6) : Upper / C7: Middle / Lower (C8,T1)
Division (Anterior, Posterior, Anterior)
Cord (Lateral, Posterior, Medial)
Branches (Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, ulnar)
Ulnar nerve
No branches above elbow
Runs posterior to medial epi of humerus, between FDP&;FCU gives branch proximal to wrist
- dorsal cutaneous branch
- palmar cutaneous branch
Enter Guyon’s canal, gives branch to
- Sensory: Palmaris brevis
- Motor: Flexor carpi ulnaris , FDP
Hypothenar, Adductor pollucis, lumbricals (bilennate), interossei)
Flexor of forearm (superficial)
- pronator teres
- flexor carpi radialis
- palmaris longus
- flexor carpi ulnaris
- flexor digitorum superficialis
Flexor of forearm (deep)
- flexor digitorum profundus
- flexor pollucis longus
- pronator quadratus
Axillary nerve course
From posterior cord of brachial plexus–> run thru axilla–> supply teres minor–> run medial to neck of humerus–> suoply deltoid
Rotator cuff
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor (inserted into greater tuberosity)
- subscapularis (lesser tuberosity)
To hold the head of humerus into glenoid cavity
Head of humerus fracture complication
- Neurovascular injury (axillary nerve, brachial plexus, brachial plexus)
- AVN (esp part 3 & 4 fracture, # tht involve anatomical neck)
- Stiffness (elderly)
- Malunion
- Shoulder dislocation (child)
Treatment of # neck of humerus depend on ne’er classification
- Analgesic + collar &cuff
- CMR + cc
- ORIF
- Hemiarthroplasty
Causes of gibbus
- infection
- fracture
- congenital defect
Holtstein lewis #
Spiral fracture of distal third shaft humerus ass with radial n neurapraxia
Deformity of lateral condyle fracture
Cubitus valgus (lateral condyle slowly grow, medial condyle exceed)
Deformity of supracondylar fracture
Cubitus varus (gun stock deformity)
Gartland classification
- Undisplaced - immobilized with cast for 3 weeks in child
- Displaced but posterior cortex still intact - CMR
- Totally displaced - fix with K wire
Volksman ischemic contracture
Irreversible Contracture of flexor muscle of hand due to ischemic process in forearm
Extensor of forearm
Superficial
- Brachioradialis
- ECRL
- ECRB
> Extensor digitorum
Extensor digiti minimi
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Anconeus
In between: deep group to thumb
- Abductor pollucis longus
- EPB
- EPL
- Extensor indicis (index finger)
- Supinator
