elbow 1 - anatomy Flashcards
the trochlea articulates with what
the ulna
- in the trochlear notch
the capitulm articulates with what
the head of the radius
which side of the trochlear is longer
the medial side this is what produces the carrying angle
is men or women’s carrying angle larger
women’s: 13-16
mens: 10- 14
what ligament surronds the radial head
the annular ligament
where does the biceps tendon attach in the lower arm
the radial tuberosity
where do the triceps attach
the olecranon
what are the name of the two lateral ligamants of the elb.
the medial collateral lig (ulna)
the lateral collateral lig
what is the function of the collateral lig of the elb.
keep the articular surface in contact and prevent side to side movement
where does the radial collateral lig run from
the lateral epicondyle
blends distally with the annular ligament
what two lig make up the ulnar collateral lig
lateral ulnar collateral lig
medial ulnar collateral lig
lateral ulnar collateral lig - where does it run
the lateral epicondyle
to
the ulna
the relationship between the lateral ulnar collateral lig and the radial collateral lig
orginate from a common origin
what are the properties of the Ulnar collateral lig
it is triangular shaped
medial
3 bands - ant, post, oblique
where does the ulnar collateral ligament run from
the medial epi
to
cornoid process and olecranon
what motion do the ulnar collateral lig resist
valgus for
what motion do the radial collateral lig resist
varus force
what is the function of the annular lig
attaches at the anterior and the posteior margins of the of the radial notch of the ulna
keep the radial head in proximity with the ulna
what is a nursemaid elb
when this is a distristractive force of sig magnitude that causes the radial head to dislocate
pulling child up from their elb.
what kind of joint is the humeral radial joint
saddle - hinge
what movement is allowed at the humeral-radial joint
flex and ext
what is the capsular pattern of the HR joint
Flex > ext
what is the resting position of HRJ
70-deg of flexion
10-sup
what is the CPP of the HRJ
full extension with supination
proximal radial-ulnar joint - motion
pronation and supination
proximal radial-ulnar joint - capsular pattern
equal pronation and supination
