1
Q

Q

what is the only long bone to ossify via intramembranous ossification?

A

clavicle

intramembranous ossification occurs without a cartilage precursor

Q

role of the posterior band of the IGHL

A

primary static restraint against posterior inferior translation with the arm internally rotated and adducted

18
Q

long thoracic nerve palsy

A

results from axillary dissection or aggressive scalene retraction

-> serratus anterior palsy -> MEDIAL scapular winging (scapular elevstion with medial translation and medial rotation of the inferior pole of the scapula)

19
Q

spinal accessory nerve palsy

A

cranial nerve XI

from radical neck dissection or lymph node biopsy

-> trapezius palsy -> LATERAL scapular winging (scapular depression with lateral translation and lateral rotation of the inferior pole of the scapula)

20
Q

posterior approach to the shoulder

A

interval:
- teres minor: axillary n
- infraspinatus: suprascapular n

21
Q

what is buford complex

A

a cord like MGHL with a sublabral foramen anterosuperiorly just distal to the biceps insertion

22
Q

what is idiopathic osteonecrosis of the capitellum called?

A

Panner diesase

23
Q

Supinator crest

A

insertion point for the LUCL

on posterolateral ulna

and origin for supinator muscle

24
Q

sublime tubercle

A

insertion point for the anterior bundle of medial collateral ligament aka anteromedial facet of the coronoid

25
Lateral collateral ligament of the elbow
primary restraint to varus force at the elbow
26
lateral ulnar collateral ligament
primary restraint to posterolateral rotatory instability
27
Medial collateral ligament - which band primarily resists valgus
anterior band
28
medial collateral ligament - which band is most dominant in elbow contractures
posterior band also forms floor of cubital tunnel
29
name the major arm nerves and the corresponding cords of the brachial plexus
axillay - posterior cord median - lateral and median cord musculocutaneous - lateral cord radial - posterior cord ulnar - meddial
30
first motor branch of the ulnar nerve branches where?
distal to the. cubital tunnel branch to the FCU
31
median nerve
is medial to the brachial artery lies anterior to the brachialis at the antecubital fossa
32
where does the blood supply to the lateral condyle come from?
posterior
33
what is the only direct source of oxygenated blood to the ulnar n proximal to the cubital tunnel?
inferior ulnar collateral a
34
kocher approach
between anconeus (radial n) and extensor carpi ulnaris (PIN) preserve the LCL buy doing your arthroptomy above the equatorial line
35
what percentage of an axial load goes through the radial head v the ulna
60% radiohumeral, 40% ulnohumeral
36
most common neurologic complication of elbow arthroscopy?
ulnar nerve palsy
37
dangers with proximal anterolateral portal
radial n
38
dangers with proximal anteromedial portal?
medial antebrachial cutaneous n (medial cord, brachial plexus)
39
what nerve lies close to the anterior capsule at the mis aspect of the radiocapitellar joint?
radial n
40
where does the ulnar nerve lie in elbow arthroscopy?
directly superficial to the capsule in the posteriomedial gutter
