ulnar- distal anterior wrist lateral to pisiform
radial- distal anterior radius “snuff box”

34
Q

what is avascular neccrosis of scaphoid bone

A

when distal and proximal scaphoid fracture apart. distal contains nutrient a import, so proximal has no blood supply

35
Q

Raynaud’s syndrome

A

increased sympathetic inn to distal blood vessels causing increased vasoconstriction with concomitant decrease in vascular flow. fingertips coldest.
can cause necrosis distally

36
Q

Tx for Raynauds’ syndrome

A

cervicodorsal preganglionic sypathectomy- induce vasodilation

37
Q

how are superficial vv used clinically

A

access for surgical procedures: venapunctures, transfusions, cardiac catheterization

38
Q

what causes thrombosis

A

trauma, fracture or deep contusions. deep vein clot

spntaneous- reduced physical activity for prolonged time and weakened muscular fascia- weak musculovenous pump

39
Q

Lymphangitis

A

inflammation of lymph vessels “red streaks”

40
Q

lymphangitis that extend proximally from thumb and index finger go where

A

follow course of cephalic v to inferoir clavicular nodes

41
Q

lymphangitis that originate in medial 3 fingers follow course of what

A

basilic v to cubital and lateral axillary lymph nodes

42
Q

why do infections on fingers of palm lead to inflammatory edema or abcess on dorsume of hand

A

lymph drains to dorsum

43
Q

lymphadenitis

A

inflamed lymph nodes as a direct result of lymphangitis

44
Q

What segmental regions do the bicep and tricep tendon reflexes check

A

biceps: C5,C6
triceps: C7C8

45
Q

Erb-Duchenne’s palsy

A

Injury to C5 C6 nerve roots or upper trunk to traction placed on neck (falling on shoulder)
loss of flexors of forearm and lateral rotators of humerus
medial rotators take over and the limb looks like waiter tip

46
Q

Klumpke’s palsy

A

Injury to C8 T1 nerve roots or lower trunk; catching one’s self in a hanging positions while falling
loss of hand intrinsic mm
claw hand- loss of lumbricals and interossei

47
Q

Damage to long thoracic n C5-C7 causes what

A

winged scapula because lose serratus anterior

lose scapular portion of abduction

48
Q

Q

what can cause axillary n damage and results in what?

A

poor crutch placement, downward glenohumeral dislocation, fracture of surgical neck of humerus
