Q

In a colles fracture, which way is the distal fragment displaced? What can often happen to the ulnar styloid process?

A

Colles fracture results from forced extension, FOOSH. Distal fragment is displaced dorsally resulting in a dinner fork deformity. Often the ulnar stylid process is avulced.

Q

Blockage of the subclavian or axillary artery can be bypassed by anastomoses between the thyrocervical trunk and subscapular artery.

  • What are the anastomotic branches off the Thyrocervical trunk?
  • What are the anastomotic branches off the subscapular artery?
A

Thyrocervical trunk comes off the subclavian artery proximal to scapula. Gives off *transverse cervical and *Suprascapular artery

The subscapular artery comes off the axillary artery and gives off the *thoracodorsal artery and the *circumflex scapular artery

** arteries contribute to anastomosis
