Supplies half of D2 to D5

113
Q

Median nerve in hand

A

Supplies thenar muscles, skin of D1,2, 3 and half of D4

114
Q

Clawed hand

A

Loss of nerve supply to medial two lumbricals to cause tonic contraction of flexor digitorum profundus (ulnar nerve)

115
Q

Trigger finger

A

Stiffening of collagen and tendons caused by catching of tendons at A1 pulley and thickening of sheath
Makes popping sound when moved
Due to overuse, degeneration, or change of direction of tendon
Rx: steroid injection, surgery to make the hole bigger and tendon is able to travel more easily

116
Q

Guyon’s canal

A

semi-rigid longitudinal canal in the wrist that allows passage of the ulnar artery and ulnar nerve into the hand

117
Q

Ulnar nerve damage

A

Wasted hypothenar web spaces
Paradoxical wasting thenar
Forearm wasting
Clawing of digits

118
Q

De Quervain’s disease

A

Pain around the radial styloid affecting gripping
Degeneration problem usually starting in 60s, overuse due to kinking of tendons, Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic), Anastrazole (breast cancer treatment drug)
Rx = Rest, splinting, ibuprofen, physiotherapy, steroid injection, surgery

119
Q

4 radiological findings of osteoarthritis

A

Loss of joint space - non-uniform joint space
Subcondral sclerosis - hardening of tissue
Juxtra-articular cysts
Osteophytosis - development of osteophytes (protrusions of bone and cartilage)

120
Q

Lateral collateral ligament

A

Prevents medial displacement of tibia

Tear of LCL causes genu varum (bow-legged)

121
Q

Medial collateral ligament

A

Prevents lateral displacement of the tibia

Tear of MCL causes genu valgus (knock-knees)

122
Q

Anterior cruciate ligament

A

Anterior to tibia
Prevents anterior displacement of tibia on femur
Weak so prone to injury
Sports injury: sharp twisting of knee causes immediate decreased range of movement

123
Q

Posterior cruciate ligament

A

Posterior to tibia - stabilises the knee when flexed e.g. when walking downhill
Prevents posterior displacement of tibia on femur

124
Q

Lachmann’s test

A

Identifies anterior cruciate ligament tear if there is laxity when moving the tibia anteriorly

125
Q

Menisci of the knee joint

A

Medial and lateral menisci on tibia
Deepen the articulating surfaces providing stability
Shock absorbers
Provide smooth viscous film for joint
Medial meniscus is attached to the medial collateral ligament limiting mobility

126
Q

Unhappy triad

A

Twisting on a flexed knee or a blow to the lateral side during contact sports
Results in anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus rupture

127
Q

Iliotibial tract

A

Reinforces the joint capsule and stabilises the extended knee
Gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata insert into the tract
IT tract inserts into lateral condyle of tibia

128
Q

Rotation during locking of the knee

A

The femur rotates on the tibia to tighten the tendons around the knee

129
Q

Patella fracture

A

Due to fall or blow to knee resulting in loss of active extension

130
Q

Patella dislocation

A

Common due to sudden twisting or jumping or ligamentous laxity

131
Q

Popliteus

A

Laterally rotates the femur on the tibia to unlock the knee joint

132
Q

Pre-patellar bursitis

“Housemaid’s knee”

A

Inflammation of the bursa in front of the knee due to leaning forward movement on the knees as the prepatellar bursa is contact with the floor
Seen in carpet fitters

133
Q

Infrapatellar bursitis

“clergyman’s knee”

A

Inflammation of the bursa below the knee

Infrapatellar bursa comes into contact with the floor when leaning back on your heels

134
Q

Baker’s cyst

A

Abnormal fluid filled sac in popliteal fossa due to herniation of synovial bursa
Common in arthritis and other chronic inflammatory joint diseases
Rx = aspiration and cortisone injection

135
Q

Femoral artery

A

Supplies anterior compartment of thigh
Becomes the popliteal artery in the popliteal fossa before dividing into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries on the lower part of the popliteus muscle

136
Q

C5 myotome

A

Deltoid

137
Q

C6 myotome

A

Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Brachioradialis

138
Q

C7 myotome

A

Triceps
Superficial forearm flexors
Superficial forearm extensors

139
Q

C8 myotome

A

Forearm extensors

Deep forearm flexors

140
Q

T1 myotome

A

Intrinsic hand muscles

141
Q

Biceps reflex

A

C5 reflex

Via musculocutaneous nerve

142
Q

Supinator reflex

A

C6 reflex

Via radial nerve

143
Q

Triceps reflex

A

C7 reflex

Via radial nerve

144
Q

Finger reflex

A

C8 reflex

Via median and ulnar nerve

145
Q

Shoulder sublaxation

A

Temporary dislocation of the shoulder where the ball of the humerus falls out of the glenoid fossa on scapula

146
Q

Flexors of foot

A

Gastrocneumius
Plantaris
Soleus

147
Q

Sural nerve

A

Sensation to lateral aspect of the foot and distal calf
