105
Q

What 4 of the terminal branches of the brachial plexus are found in the arm?

A
  1. Musculocutaneous; heads into anterior compartment
  2. Median; travels through anterior compartment towards forearm
  3. Radial; heading behind the humerus into the posterior compartment
  4. Ulnar; travels on medial aspect of arm towards forearm
106
Q

Which 3 of the terminal branches of the brachial plexus run close to the humerus? What is the danger of this?

A

Axillary nerve = surgical neck

Radial nerve = radial groove

Ulnar nerve = medial epicondyle

Fracture of humerus can lead to damage to nerves

107
Q

How can nerve damage in the arm be assessed?

A

To assess whether there has been any nerve damage you need to know the muscles the nerve innervates and the skin it supplies) and then test the function of those muscles and sensation in those regions.

108
Q

What does hitting your ‘funny bone’ refer to?

A

Hitting the ulnar nerve (that crosses the elbow)

109
Q

What is at risk during fracture near:

  1. surgical neck of humerus?
  2. radial shaft?
  3. supracondular fracture (just proximal to epicondyles of humerus)?
  4. medial epicondyle?
A
  1. Axillary nerve
  2. Radial nerve
  3. Median nerve, brachial artery
  4. Ulnar nerve
110
Q

Infection of bone

111
Q

113
Q

Labelled diagram of ulna and radius

114
Q

What has happened here? What nerve is at risk? What would you need to do to assess whether the nerve had been injured?

A
  • Region of break: fracture at the surgical neck
  • Nerve at risk: axillary nerve
  • Assessment of nerve: Compare feeling of skin on upper lateral arm. Also test function of deltoid by asking patient to adduct arm –> this may not be possible here as painful for patient
115
Q

Why is axillary nerve at risk in surgical neck fracture?

A

Axillary nerve comes off the posterior cord of the brachial plexus and runs really close to the bone at the surgical neck

Fracture to surgical neck can tear the axillary nerve

116
Q

How can damage to axillary nerve be assessed?

A

To answer this we need to know 2 things:

  1. What the axillary nerve does –> innervates deltoid and teres minor and the skin over the upper lateral arm
  2. What the muscle(s) innervated by this nerve (in this case, deltoid and teres minor) do? –> deltoid abducts the shoulder beyond 20 degrees, teres minor laterally rotates the shoulder.

Now we can work out a logical way of assessing the function of the nerve:

  1. Ask the patient to abduct their arm (if possible)
  2. Test the patient’s sensation over the upper lateral arms (both!) and ask the patient if it feels the same on both sides.
117
Q

What hashappened here? What nerve is at risk? What would you need to do to assess whether the nerve had been injured?

A
  • Anterior dislocation of shoulder
    • Humeral head moved medially and inferiorly
  • Axillary nerve at risk
    • Test motor and sensory functions of axillary nerve (note that most patients will not be able to move arm due to fracture so test sensory function instead)
      • Do this BEFORE putting joint back into place
118
Q

What has happened here?

What nerve is at risk?

What artery is at risk?

What would you need to do to assess whether the nerve had been injured?

A
  • Comminuted fracture (more than 2 fragments)
  • Radial nerve at risk
    • To test motor function: wrist extension (as innervates all muscles of posterior forearm)
    • To test motor function: straighten wrist? straighten fingers?
    • To test sensory function: sensation over back of hand near thumb?
119
Q

What has happened here?

What nerve is at risk?

What would you need to do to assess whether the nerve had been injured?

A

Injury: posterior dislocation of the ulna (elbow dislocation)

Nerve at risk: ulnar nerve behind the medial epicondyle

Assessment: impaired function of the muscles and sensory disturbance in skin innervated by the ulnar n.

  • Motor: 2 muscles in forearm, most of muscles of hand
  • Sensory: medial forearm, medial wrist, and medial one and one-half digits (on palm surface and dorsal surface)
120
Q

What has happened here?

What nerve is at risk?

What artery is at risk?

What would you need to do to assess whether the nerve had been injured?

A

Injury: Humeral supracondular fracture (fracture of humerus just above the epicondyles)

At risk: Median nerve and brachial artery

Assessment:

  • Median nerve:
    • Motor: anterior forearm muscles, some of small muscles of hand (thenar particularly)
      • To test: flex wrist, flex fingers (make a fist)
    • Sensory: look at diagram (around thumbm, lateral palm)
  • Brachial artery:
    • Assess capillary refill (measure of time taken for distal capillary bed e.g. finger to regain colour after pressure has been applied)
    • Assess colour, pulse, temperature etc

Usually by an upward force on an abducted arm (e.g. by swinging child by arms)

124
Q

What can be palpated during pulled elbow?

A

The radial head

This is panful and the child will not move their arm

125
Q

Muscles in the forearm have attachments to the medial and lateral epicondyles. What can inflammation at the humeral epicondyles cause?

A
  • Medial epicondylitis = inflammation at the medial epicondyle = ‘golfer’s elbow
  • Lateral epicondylitis = inflammation at the lateral epicondyle = ‘tennis elbow’
126
Q

Where is pain felt during medial and lateral epicondylitis?

A

Pain radiates into forearm along the muscles

127
Q

What is treatment for humeral epicondylitis?

A

Rest and maybe injection of corticosteroids

128
Q

What are bursae?

A

Fluid-filled sacs located around joints - areas of potential friction, e.g. between a muscle and bone.

129
Q

What is bursitis?

A

Inflammation of bursae - quite common

130
Q

How does bursitis present?

A

the bursa swells (may be visible) and is painful when touched

131
Q

What can cause inflammation of the olecranon bursa?

A

Excessive, repeated pressure and friction over the olecranon can cause inflammation of the olecranon bursa

132
Q

What nerve can a humeral supracondylar fracture injure? What would this then impair?

A

The median nerve

Impaired function of the forearm muscles and sensory disturbance in skin innervated by the median nerve

133
Q

What artery can a humeral supracondylar fracture injure? What would this then potentially cause?

A

Brachial artery

–> can lead to ischaemia of the forearm muscles

134
Q

What nerve can posterior dislocation of ulna (i.e. elbow dislocation) damage?

A

Ulnar nerve

135
Q

What would damage of ulnar nerve lead to?

A

Impaired function of the muscles and sensory disturbance in skin innervated by the ulnar n.

136
Q

What does the capitulum on the humerus articulate with?

A

Radial head

137
Q

What other nerves leave the brachial plexus (except the 5 terminal branches)?

A
  • Long thoracic nerve
  • Thoracodorsal nerve
138
Q

What is found just below the radial head?

A

The radial neck - common place of fracture

139
Q

What is found just below the radial neck?

A

The radial tuberosity - bony protrusion

140
Q

What attaches to the radial tuberosity?

A

The biceps muscle - tendon comes across elbow joint to insert here

141
Q

What tuberosity is found on the ulna, just lateral to the radial tuberosity?

A

The ulna tuberosity - less pronounced that the radial tuberosity

142
Q

What is the ulna tuberosity the attachment point of?

A

Brachialis - sweeps down across elbow joint to insert here –> works on elbow joint

143
Q

Diagram of proximal radial-ulnar joint. What movement happens here?

A

Pivoting supination and pronation

144
Q

What are the anterior arm muscles all innervated by?

A

Musculocutaneous nerve

145
Q

What do the anterior arm muscles move?

A

The elbow and the shoulder

146
Q

Where does the posterior arm muscle insert?

A

On the ulna

147
Q

What does the posterior arm muscle move?

A

Elbow and shoulder

148
Q

What is the triceps (the posterior arm muscle) innervated by?

A

The radial nerve

149
Q

Describe route of long head of bicep

A

Travels proximally through intertubercular sulcus, through the capsule of the shoulder joint and comes to insert on the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula

150
Q

What muscle

151
Q

Image of axillary artery

A

Goes on to form brachial artery

152
Q

Where is the regimental badge area?

A

Upper lateral arm (where axillary nerve innervates)

153
Q

Where does the radial nerve pass after innervating triceps?

A
  • Into the posterior forearm to innervate the posterior forearm muscles
    • Extend wrist
    • Extend fingers
154
Q

What area of skin does the radial nerve innervate?

A

Back of the hand around thumb area

155
Q

Which muscle attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle?

A

Long head of biceps

156
Q

Which muscle attaches to the infraglenoid tubercle?

A

Long head of triceps

157
Q

What epicondyle is the capitulum nearest?

A

Lateral (as articulates with radial head)

158
Q

What muscles attach to coracoid process of scapula?

A
  1. Pec minor
  2. Short head of biceps
  3. Coracobrachialis
