Describe the 2 main symptoms that people with carpal tunnel syndrome complain of
Pain and paresthesia of thumb, index finger, middle finger, half of ring finger. I.e. sensory area of median neve
What is the contents of the carpal tunner?
- flexor digitorum profundus (four tendons)
- flexor digitorum superficialis (four tendons)
- flexor pollicis longus (one tendon)
- the median nerve
flexor carpi radialis (one tendon), considered by some as part of the carpal tunnel although it is more precise to state that it travels in the flexor retinaculum which covers the carpal tunnel, rather than running in the tunnel itself.
Which vein, found in the cupital fossa, is often used for phlebotomy?
Median cubital vein
Where do you palpate the posterior tibial artery?
behind the medial maleolus
Name the contents of the Carpal Tunnel and what forms it:
Formed by the bony arch of the carpal bones and the flexor retinaculum
Median Nerve
Tendon of flexor pollicus longus
4 x tendons of flexor digitorum profundus
4 x tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis
In the forearm, which compartment does the Radial Nerve supply?
Radial nerve supplies all posterior compartment muscles
Which nerve supplies the anterior compartment of the arm ?
The anterior compartments of the forearm are supplied by the median nerve except for the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial half of the flexor digitorum profundus (which is supplied by Ulnar)
What are the main nerves of the forearm?
Describe the veins of the arm
Which muscles are supplied by the axillary nerve ?
