Elbow and Forearm Flashcards
ulna articulates with
trochlea
motion at radioulnar joint?
pron/sup
motion at humeralradial joint
pron sup flex ext
motion at humeralulnar joint
flex ext
what is carrying angle
angle of the ulna in relation to the humeral shaft
borders of cubital triangle
pronator teres, brachioradialis
what lies in the cubital fossa (triangle)
brachial artery, median nerve, musculotaneous
purpose of the radial head
gliding, rotation, enhances stability
Anterior band of the anterior UCL resists what motion?
valgus forces till 90 degrees of flexion
Posteior band of the anterior UCl resists what motion?
valgus force beyond 60 degrees
posterior bundle taut during
flexion above 90 degrees
annular ligament resists
internal rotation
interosseus membrane stabilizes against
axial force applied to the wrist
brachiale is a prime flexor in
pronation
median nerve innervates
wrist flexors and pronators
