Final - Elbow Flashcards
lat humeral epi
extensor attachment
med humeral epi
flexor attachment
capitulum of humerus -
radiohumeral jt
trochlea of humerus
humeroulnar jt
head of radius
proximal, disc shaped, round and flat at sup end articulates with capitulum of humerus to form radio humeral jt
radial tuberosity
distal radioulnar jt and has a radial styloid process
proximal ulna
humeroulnar / trochlear jt - bw trochlea of humerus and trochlear notch of ulna
distal ulna
distal radioulnar jt with radius and has ulnar styloid process
normal ROM of elbow
touch your shoulder and extend
mechanics of humeroulnar jt
hinge - only movement in one plane
radiohumeral jt
uniaxial hinge jt for flexion and extension
proximal radioulnar
mechanics
synovial pivot
head of radius and ulna surrounded by annular lig
pronation and supination of forearm
mechanics of the radioulnar
spinning of either direction - in our elbow
fracture of the radius would limit motion at
elbow and the wrist
distal radioulnar articulation
synovial pivot
between head of ulna and ulnar notch of radius
articular/triangular fibrocarlage disc unite them
supination pronation radial moves around ulna
stability of elbow - 3
bony architecture of humerus and ulna
strong ulnar and radial collateral ligs
muscles that surround the jt
UCL
bands
ulnar/medial collateral lig - valgus test and used in throwing/overhead sports - esp poor mechanics
ant band - med epi to coronoid process of ulna - tight in extension
pos band - med humeral condyle of humerus to olecranon process - resist valgus in flex position
oblique/transverse - from olecranon process to coronoid process and resists valgus force
radio collateral lig
lat humeral epi to ulna, some fibres blend with annular, prevent distraction of radius and resis varus
annular
coronoid process around radial to coronoid process - free rotary movement
interosseous membrane
fibrous sheet between ulna and radius - syndesmosis jt of forearm
site for muscle attachment and transfer forces between radius ulna and humerus
shin splits
3 flexion muclses
biceps - supinated grip
brachialis - pronated grip
brachioradialis - neutral grip
2 pronation muscles
pronator teres and pronator quadratus
2 supinators
supinor, bieps (sup, flex, should flex) - wine uncorking muscle
3 main nerves at the brachial plexus
under collarbone and in then out of the first ribs - travel down the arm for sensation and muscular innervation - end in hands and give feelings to extremities and moves the hand
median - ant compartment (flexor/pronator), affected in carpal tunnel
ulnar - ant compartment - funny bone
radial - pos compartment (extensor/supinator)
