Q

What does the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament resist?

A

Primarily resists elbow valgus between 20-120 deg. of motion

taught w/terminal extension

secondary restraint at end range flexion beyond 120 deg.

strongest

Q

What does the posterior band of the ulnar collateral lig. restrict?

A

Also resists elbow valgus : acts as a co restraint at end range / terminal flexion with anterior band

2nd restraint to valgus stress at lesser deg. of flexion

taught at 55 deg. of elbow flexion

weakest

Q

What are the attachments for the annular ligament?

A

From the anterior margin of the radial notch of the ulna to the posterior margin of the radial notch of the ulna surrounding the head of the radius

17
Q

What is the function of the triangular fibrocartilage complex ligament?

A
  1. Stabilize distal radial joint by binding the radius and ulna
  2. Transfer compression forces from hand and wrist to the forearm
  3. Cushion ulnar side force transmission
18
Q

What is the function of the annular ligament?

A

stabilizes proximal radial ulna joint / radial head

19
Q

What are the components of the Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)

A
  1. Biconcave fibrocartilage disc
  2. Palmar Ulnocarpal ligament
    3.Ulnar collateral ligament
20
Q

What is the function of the annular ligament?

A

Stabalizes proximal radioulnar joint

21
Q

What is the attachments of the interosseous membrane?

A

from interosseous border of radius to interosseous border of ulna

22
Q

What is the attachment of the lateral / radial collateral ligament of the elbow?

A

Lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament

23
Q

What is the function of the Transverse carpal ligament?

A

Prevents bowstringing of the tendons of the FPL,FDS,FDP

24
Q

What is the attachments of the transverse carpal ligament?

A

From the pisiform and hook of hamate to scaphoid and trapezium

25
Q

What is the function of the Volar/Palmar and Dorsal radiocarpal ligaments?

A

Stabalize the carpal bones on the radius

26
Q

What are the attachments of the radoiocarpal ligaments?

A

dorsal/volar surface of the distal radius to the first two rows of the carpal bones

27
Q

What is the function of the ulnar collateral lig. of the wrist ?

A

resists radial deviation

28
Q

What is the attachments of the ulnar collateral lig. of the wrist?

A

From the ulnar styloid process to the triquetrum

29
Q

What is the function of the radial collateral lig. of the wrist ?

A

resists ulnar deviation

30
Q

What is the attachments of the radial collateral lig. of the wrist?

A

radial styloid process to scaphoid

31
Q

Attachments of the collateral lig. of the metacarpophalangeal joints

A

From the head of the metacarpals to the base of the proximal phalanx

32
Q

Injury to the TFF

A

FOOSH
extension with ulnar compression
forced radial or ulnar deviation
strong distraction force

disc and ligament damage
