Q

Quadrilateral space syndrome (QSS)

A

happens when the axillary nerve is compressed, or injured in the back of the shoulder.

Sometimes the symptoms are caused by the compression of an artery in the same area

Usually happens from overuse, especially with overhead sports like throwing and swimming.

The syndrome can also be caused by an injury, like a shoulder dislocation.

Q

fracture of surgical neck

A

damage axillary nerve (loss of abduction bc deltoid will be affected)

25
Q

A

extends the forearm

26

2nd part of axillary artery is

A

posterior of pect. minor

27
Q

fracture of medial epicondyle

A

damage ulnar nerve (results in severe numbness in the fingers)

28

medial wall of apex border

A

serratus anterior

29
Q

fracture of surgical neck

A

damage axillary nerve (loss of abduction bc deltoid will be affected)

30
Q

anconeus action

A

(POSTERIOR)

assists triceps in extending forearm, stabilizes elbow joint and abduct ulna during pronation.

31
Q

Lymphatic vessels ascending with basilic vein will terminate in the

A

humeral axillary lymph nodes

32
Q

3rd part of axillary artery

A

inferior of pect minor to lower border of teres major

33
Q

axillary vein is formed by the union of

A

brachial vein (Deep) and the basilic vein (superficial) at the inferior border of teres major.

34
Q

inlet of axixlla

A

clavicle (ant) +1st rib (medially) + scapula (post)

35
Q

The axilla is the pyramidal space inferior to the ____________ and superior to the _______________________.

A

glenohumeral joint axillary fascia at the junction of the arm and thorax

36
Q

triceps innervation

A

(POSTERIOR)

radial nerve

37
Q

base of axillary boundary

A

skin + subcutaneous tissue + fascia

38
Q

anterior compartment of the arm is supplied and innervated by

A

musculocutaneous nerve and brachial artery

39
Q

branches of second part: (2)

A

Thoracoacromial, which as soon as it leaves the axillary area supplies the deltoid, pec major, pec minor, and the lateral thoracic

40
Q
