Elbow wrist and hand ARTHRO Flashcards
Name the 3 elbow joints
Humeroulnar, Humeroradial, PRUJ (proximal radioulnar joint)
What type of joint is the elbow joint?
Hinge joint or modified hinge joint
What is the elbow carrying angle for males?
10-14 deg
what is the carrying angle for women?
13-16 deg
Describe morphology of the Humeroulnar Joint
CONCAVE trochlear notch of ulna
CONVEX trochlea of humerus
What direction does humeralulnar joint move in
ROLL AND GLIDE in SAME direction
what bones move between the humeroulnar joint?
Ulna moves on humerus, concave moves on convex.
What kind of joint is the humeroulnar joint?
Hinge joint
What kind of joint is the humeroradial Joint?
Hinge Joint
Describe morphology of the humeroradial joint
CONVEX capitulum of humerus & CONCAVE head of radius.
Is the head of the radius CONVEX OR CONCAVE
CONCAVE
Motions of the humeralulnar joint
FLX/EXT
Motions of the humeroradial joint
FLX, EXT, & Rotation of radius
ROLL AND GLIDE FOR humeroradial Joint?
Roll and glide in same direction
What is the ligaments of the Medial Elbow?
Ulnar (medial) colateral lig (3)
ANT band
POST band
Transverse band
What stabilizes the medial elbow
UCL
Where is attachment for ANT band of UCL?
humerus to the ulna
Where is attachment for Post band of UCL?
humerus to olecranon process of ulna
Where is attachment for transverse band of UCL?
Ulna to Ulna
What prevents Valgus stress to elbow
UCL
Which is the strongest part of the UCL ?
ANT band (strongest and stiffest)
Which ligament is more taught during elbow EXT
ANT band
What is most important part of UCL when arm is past 120 deg of FLX ?
POST band since ANT band is now on more slack (its now secondary)
Which is the weakest of the UCL
POST band
Which UCL is fan shaped
POST band
What UCL does not have a role in elbow stability
Transverse band
Whats the role of the transverse band of UCL
deepens the socket of the trochlea
What ligament blends in with the angular ligament ?
RCL
Which is lateral UCL or RCL
RCL
Which is medial UCL or RCL
UCL
Where does the RCL run in orientation
its fan shaped so half runs from lateral epicondyle to the ULNA, other half blends into annular ligament around the radius.
What is the primary restraint against radial subluxation?
RCL
What force does RCL limit
Varus force
What kind of joint is the proximal radioulnar joint?
Pivot joint
Morphology of PRUJ
CONVEX radial head. (note for this joint it is CONVEX articulation, but superiorly the radial head is concave)
& Concave radial notch of the ulna
What glide happens during pronation?
radial head Rolls ANT and glides POST
What glide happens during supination?
Radial head Rolls POST and glides ANT.
DRUJ morphology?
opposite of PRUJ:
CONVEX head of ulna
CONCAVE ulnar notch of radius
Roll and glide of DRUJ?
ROLL and Glide in same direction
Whats the difference between the roll and glide of the PRUJ and DRUJ ?
PRUJ= roll and glide in opposite directions
DRUJ= roll and glide in same direction.
