Approaches Flashcards
Posterior approach to shoulder
- internervous plane
- positioning
- initial dissection
- dangers
infraspinatus (suprascapular) and teres minior (axillary)
lateral
detach posterior deltoid at origin and retract inferiorly
suprascapular nerve, axillary nerve, posterior circumflex humeral artery
anterior approach to humerus
- internervous plane
- dangers
superiorly deltoid (axillary) and pec major (med and lat pectoral nerves)
distally medial brachialis (MC) and lateral brachialis (radial)
radial nerve, axillary nerve, anterior circumflex humeral artery
lateral approach to distal humerus
- internervous plane
- dangers
not a true internervous plane - triceps and brachioradialis (both radial)
radial
Anterolateral approach to distal humerus
- internervous plane
- dangers
not a true internervous plane - between brachialis and brachioradialis (both radial)
LCNF and radial
Medial approach to distal humerus
- internervous plane
- dangers
common flexor origin (median/ulna) and triceps (radial)
posterior branch medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, and ulna nerve
Anterolateral approach to elbow / cubital fossa
- internervous plane
- dangers
proximally - brachialis (MC) and brachioradialis (radial)
distally - brachioradialis (radial) and pronator teres (median)
radial nerve, PIN, LCNF
Anteromedial approach to the elbow
- internervous plane
- dangers
proximally - brachalis (MC) and triceps (radial)
distally - brachialis (MC) and pronator teres (median)
ulna nerve, median nerve
Posteromedial approach to coronoid process
- internervous plane
- dangers
Superficially between humeral and ulna heads of FCU (ulna)

deep rectus femoris (femoral) and glut medius (superior gluteal)
anterolateral approach to hip
- other names
- between which muscles
Watson-Jones or Charnley
