Q

Thoracic Outlet

A
  • anterior scalene in front, middle scalene in back of triangle
  • first rib cuts across bottom which together with above makes a tight triangular shape where a whole bunch of nerves (esp nerve roots) come through this space
  • big scalenes means this space will be smaller which won’t allow enough space for nerves to come through which can lead to thoracic outlet syndrome
  • tested by having them take a deep breath and take pulse, if pulse disappears then they have it
  • stretch out scalenes and push down on first rib and symptoms of numbness and tingling in arm go away

Q

Elbow Joint Complex

A
  • 3 joints in one joint capsule
  • humeral ulnar joint
  • humeral radial joint
  • radial ulnar joint
25
Q

Elbow Joint Capsule and Ligaments

A
  • capsule surrounds all 3 joints
  • anterior ligament: restricts hyperextension
  • medial collateral ligament: restricts valgus force
  • lateral collateral ligament: restricts varus force; lateral epicondyle to ulna and annular ligament
  • annular ligament: surrounds radial head but does not attach; ulna, around radial head and attaches back to ulna; just holds radius down; restricts radial head from separating from ulna
26
Q

Radial Notch of Ulna

A
  • for radial head

- concavity in proximal part of ulna because convex part of radial head sits in there

27
Q

Valgus vs. Varus Forces

A
  • valgus: the part of the body distal to the deformed part is deviated away from the body/midline (i.e. is more lateral) (ulnar collateral ligament tension)
  • varus:the part of the body distal to the deformed part is deviated toward the body/midline (i.e. is more medial) (radial collateral ligament tension)
28
Q

Anterior Forearm Muscles

A
  • flexors or pronators
  • most muscles are either wrist flexors, forearm pronators or both
  • exception is brachioradialis
29
Q

Posterior Forearm

A
  • extensors or supinators or both

- all muscles are radial nerve or branches of radial nerve innervated

30
Q

Forearm Bones

A
  • humerus
  • radius
  • ulna
  • interosseous membrane: superior radius inferior and medial to ulna; thick CT that doesn’t give much
  • oblique cord: from ulna inferior and lateral to radius
31
Q

Interosseus Membrane

A
  • fibers mostly run inferior and medial to radius or superior and lateral to ulna
  • helps to transfer forces to opposite sides (compression to bone to tension; tensile=pulling) through membrane to compression on the other bone again
32
Q

Forearm Motions

A
  • supination: palm up
  • pronation: palm down
  • occurs at proximal and distal radioulnar joints simultaneously (synovial joints, both must move simultaneously, if one doesn’t move the other can’t)
  • always radius moving on ulna
33
Q

A
  • brachial splits into radial and ulnar arteries
  • common interosseous artery off ulnar artery
  • splits into anterior and posterior interosseous arteries that lie on interosseous membrane

34
Q

Anterior Forearm Veins

A
  • superficial: basilic (medial vein of forearm, ulnar side, superficial, have no artery match), cephalic (radial side, superficial, have no artery match)
  • deep: radial vein and ulnar vein
35
Q

Anterior Forearm Nerves

A
  • median: anterior interosseous nerve
  • ulnar
  • medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (cutaneous means sensory only; comes off medial cord directly as do medial pectoral and medial cutaneous of upper arm)
  • lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve from musculocutaneous nerve
  • test question: will suggest that fingers 4 and 5 of superficialis are innervated by ulnar nerve–>they’re NOT it’s radial nerve
  • flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus to fingers 4 and 5 are only muscles in anterior forearm that are ulnar nerve
  • only one is radial nerve–>brachialis
  • everything else is median nerve (covers fingers 1-3 and half of 4 in sensory palmar side as well as the tips of these fingers on the dorsal side)
