NAME THE ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES
Course of the radial nerve, hitting salient points
From posterior cord
Travels in poseterior aspect of axilla
Through triangular interval with profunda brachii artery
In the spiral groove 14-15cm proximal to lateral epicondyle
Exit the lateral intermuscular septum never less than 7.5cm from distal articular surface
Travels between brachialis & brachioradialis anterior to lateral epicondyle
Divides into SRN and PIN at level of radiocapitellar joint
Internervous plane of Smith-Peterson approach to hip
Anterior approach:
Femoral nerve & Superior gluteal nerve
Superficial:
Sartorius (femoral)
TFL (superior gluteal)
Deep:
Rectus femoris (femoral)
Gluteus medius (superior gluteal)
Roots contributing to LFCN?
L2-3
Name the structures
Explain the relation of the zone of calcification to physeal fractures.
The zone of Hypertrophic zone is divided into three layers, and the zone of calcification is the firsthest away from the resting zone.
This is where apoptosis happens - making it relatively weak and pre-disposes to injury.
Most fractures are through the zone fo calcification, which is good because it is far from the reserve zone which is protective against growth arrests.
