62
Q

What are the structures that go over and through the anatomical snuffbox?

A

through: radial artery
over the tendons: superficial branch of radial n.

63
Q

Describe the path of the radial nerve.

A

Off the posterior cord of the brachial plexus after axillary nerve is given off

Medial to lateral behind the humerus within the posterior compartment

Courses with the profunda brachii artery into triangular interval of shoulder

Innervates one nerve in the arm: triceps

Pierces lateral intermuscular septum as it passes from posterior to anterior compartment

Courses distal through lateral side of cubital fossa

Innervates 3 muscles in the forearm: brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, aconeus

Bifurcates between brachialis and brachioradialis into: superficial branch of radial nerve, deep branch of radial nerve

SB of radial n. goes distal with radial artery deep to brachioradialis over tendons of anatomical snuffbox and enters dorsum of hand for cutaneous innervation, no muscular innervation

DB of radial n. innervates one muscle in forearm: extensor carpi radialis brevis, enters superior border of supinator muscle and changes of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN)

PIN innervates 8 muscles in the forearm

64
Q

How many muscles in the posterior forearm does PIN innervate? Name them, and label as either superficial (s), or deep (d) muscles.

A

8

  1. extensor digitorum - s
  2. extensor digiti minimi - s
  3. extensor carpi ulnaris - s
  4. supinator -d
  5. abductor pollicis longus - d

  7. extensor pollicis brevis - d
  8. extensor indicis - d
65
Q
