Q

Th site of pain in pronator syndrom

wrist, and distal forearm and is exacerbated by activities involving
sustained forearm pronation.

40
Q

The thenar area tends to be spares ,
distinctly different from CTS

A

F The thenar area tends to be involved,
distinctly different from CTS

41
Q

Thenar
muscles maintain normal strength with PMNE

A

T

42
Q

numbness related to PMNE can be provoked
by firm palpation of the median nerve just proximal and distal to the
elbow crease and with pronation against resistance. Numbness occurring in less than 60 seconds is considered abnormal

A

T

43
Q

Weakness of FDP IF and FPL resolves
immediately in the recovery room following surgical release.

A

T

44
Q

The area of possible compression of the median nerve around the elbow.

A

From proximal to distal,
fascia of Struthers, the ligament of Struthers (if present),
the deep fascia of the proximal pronator teres muscle,
the bicipital aponeurosis,
the deep fascia of the ulnar origin of the pronator teres muscle,
the deep fascia of the humeral origin of the pronator teres muscle,
and the fascia of the arch of the superficial flexors

45
Q

If wrist pain
is the main indication for surgery, release of the bicipital aponeurosis
under local anesthesia can be highly effective with a quick recovery

compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity

A

T

49
Q

most common
sites of compression of the ulnar nerve?

A

septum proximal to the elbow, Osborne ligament at the medial epicondyle, and the pronator muscle and flexor fascia distal to the elbow

51
Q

Early symptoms include numbness and tingling along the ulnar aspect of the hand

A

T

52
Q

How you can distinguishes compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow from the wrist?

A

An altered sensation of both the dorsal and volar aspects of the ulnar hand occurs with elbow compression
At the wrist causes numbness on the volar surface of the hand

53
Q

compression may be present at both
sites

A

T

54
Q

weakness of ulnar-innervated muscles, a positive Froment sign, and loss of ability to concomitantly flex the MCP joints and extend the PIP
and DIP joints (the ulnar negative posture)

A

T

55
Q

In the case of Intrinsic muscle atrophy combined with sensory loss without a peripheral explanation what is mean?

A

an unusual underlying neurologic
disorder such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth, or syringomyelia

56
Q

Loss of
muscle strength with a normal sensory exam mean what ?

A

Is an early sign of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

57
Q

Electrodiagnostic tests, ultrasound, and MRI have all been used to
isolate the level ofcompression and look for other pathology

A

t

58
Q

for mild disease treatment

A

Nonoperative management with night splinting, physical therapy,
and activity and postural modification is indicated

59
Q

Surgical treatment incude anterior (subcutaneous) transposition, and intra- or submuscular transposition of ulnar nerve

A

T

60
Q

simple decompression
for mild disease

A

T

61
Q

submuscular transposition for severe or recurrent disease

A

T

62
Q

Positive functional and sensory outcomes of cubital tunnel release are high and have been
measured at 77% to 86% 1 year after surgery

A

T

63
Q

ulnar nerve passes between the hamate
and pisiform dorsal to the palmar carpal ligament and volar to the carpus

A

T

64
Q

studies have shown improvement
in ulnar nerve symptoms after median nerve decompression alone

A

T

65
Q

The incision extends from approximately 4 cm proximal to the wrist crease over the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) tendon onto
the hypothenar eminence.

A

T

66
Q

Radial nerve
entrapment with palsy is relatively rare and presents as loss of finger
extension

A

T

67
Q

the site of neuropathy is proximal to the posterior
interosseous nerve (PIN), lead to loss of finger extension

A

F loss of wrist extension

68
Q

The most vulnerable
area ofthe radial nerve is in the spiral groove along the lateral aspect of
the distal humerus.

A

T

69
Q

Saturday Night Palsy

A

temporary paralysis ofthe motor aspect of the radial nerve from sustained local pressure on this aspect of the upper arm while sleeping or unconscious
due to intoxication and generally resolves completely

70
Q

Radial tunnel syndrome (RTS), defined as pain without weakness in the dorsal forearm and wrist

A

T

71
Q

Provakting test for radial tunnel syndrom

A

resisted supination
extension of the wrist
isolated middle finger extension

72
Q

41% overlap with lateral epicondylitis,

A

T

73
Q

Electrodiagnostic studies are
helpful for evaluating either condition(RTS &epicondylitis)

A

F Electrodiagnostic studies are
not helpful for evaluating either condition

74
Q

sometimes resolve spontaneously

A

t

75
Q

posterior approach in RTS

A

an be tedious
because of arborization of the motor nerves to the finger extensors

76
Q

The anterior approach

A

avoids intramuscular dissection but requires
attention to cutaneous nerves and numerous enveloping vessels

77
Q

Muscular dissection through the extensor carpi radialis brevis may
result in a wide scar

A

T

78
Q

The structure that need to release

A

fascia of the supinator is released over the PIN (the arcade of Frohse),
and a transverse tenotomy of the common extensor fascia

79
Q

The other cause of PIN compression

A

Parsonage-Turner (neuralgic amyotrophy)
and spontaneous hourglass deformity of the nerve

80
Q

Compression can
lead to loss of wrist extension

A

F Compression can
lead to loss of finger extension and radial deviation on extension

81
Q

Treatment of PIN ?

A

exploration and release of the
arcade of Frohse is indicated ifthere is no recovery after 6 weeks

82
Q

Wartenberg Syndrome (WS) or cheiralgia paresthetica?

A

Radial sensory nerve entrapment in the distal forearm

83
Q

provocation of
symptoms

A

ulnar deviation, wrist flexion, or resisted pronation

84
Q

The differential diagnosis of distal radial forearm pain

A

de Quervain tenosynovitis,
thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis,
lateral antebrachial cutaneous neuritis, intersection syndrome,
proximal nerve compression

85
Q

Dorsal-radial wrist/hand
pain that responds to a nerve block will reliably respond to surgical
decompression

A

T

86
Q

WS vs de Quervain tenosynovitis

A

WS mimics de Quervain tenosynovitis but does not
improve with a steroid injection to the first dorsal extensor compartment

87
Q

A longitudinal incision is made at the point of maximal
tenderness along the radial forearm where the nerve emerges from
beneath fascia

A

T

88
Q

the AIN is not a pure motor nerve. The AIN is a motor nerve to the FPL, FDP IF, and PQ, and terminates in a large sensory nerve
to the volar wrist bones
