A

3 layers at lumbar level

  • Posterior: posterior to erector spinae and transversospinales
  • Middle: posterior to quadratus lumborum
  • Anterior: anterior to quadratus lumborum
35
Q

Name the most common directions of joint dislocation: shoulder joint dislocation.

A
  • 95% are anterior dislocations (inf dislocated, then head of humerus moves anteriorly)
  • vulnerable to dislocation when arm is in abducted position (downward force)
  • inferior joint capsule not reinforced by rotator cuff muscles or ligaments
36
Q

Name the most common directions of joint dislocation: hip joint dislocation.

A
  • Posterior dislocation outnumbers anterior 9:1
  • most common MOI: MVA
  • may injure acetabulum, labrum, and SCIATIC NERVE
37
Q

Name the most common directions of joint dislocation: radial head dislocation.

A

Nurse maid’s elbow

  • distraction force pulls radial head out from annular ligament
  • caused by hanging/lifting from forearm, wrist, or hand
  • muscles pull radial head superiorly
  • most common in 3-5 y/o (radial head is not fully ossified)
38
Q

Describe the process of intervertebral disc herniation.

A
