Q

FDP (profundus)

A

inserts onto distal phalanx of 2-5 digits

flexes at distal interphalangeal joint

dual innervation! ulnar nerve controls medial 4 and 5 digits, AIN branch of median nerve controls lateral 2 and 3 digit

21
Q

3 groups of extensor posterior muscles

A

extensors of wrist

extensor of digits

extensors/abductors of thumb

all innervated by radial nerve or branch of radial

22
Q

origin of extensors

A

many from common tendon/origin on lateral epicondyle of humerus

23
Q

tennis elbow

A

lateral epicondylitis- inflammation of common origin of extensors

24
Q

3 extensors of writs

A

extensor carpi radialis longus

extensor carpi radialis brevis

extensor carpi ulnaris

innervated by radial nerve

stabilize and extend wrist

25
Q

3 extensors of digitorum

A

extensor digitorum

extensor digiti minimi

extensor indicis (deeper belly)

all radial innervation

long tendons of these insert into extensor expansion (hood)) of digits)

26
Q

extensors/abductors of thumb

A

abductor pollicus longus

extensor pollicus brevis

extensor pollicus longus

aka outcropping muscles, boundaries of snuffbox

intricate and precise movements of thumb

27
Q

tendons of extensor muscles stabilized at wrist by…

A

extensor retinaculum

compartmentalized into 6 fibroosseus tunnels

28
Q

ganglion or synovial cyst

A

thin walled cyst, fluid filled

dorsum of wrist, common at extensor carpi radialus longus tendon

29
Q

contents of anatomical snuffbox

A

radial artery

scaphoid bone

30
Q

boundaries of anatomical snuff box

A

thumb extensor/abductors- APL, EPB, EPL

31
Q

3 main nerves of the forearm

A

radial nerve- all extensor supinators

median- most flexor/ pronators

ulnar- 1.5 flexors

32
Q

2 branches of radial nerve

A

superficial- cutaneous sensory to part of the dorsum of hand

deep- motor nerve

33
Q

deep branch of radial nerve

A

pierces supinator, becomes posterior interosseus nerve innervating forearm extensors

34
Q

ulnar nerve role in forearm and hand

A

innervates flexor carpi ulnaris and medial half of FDP (digits 4 and 5)

innervates most intrinsic hand muslces

35
Q

trace route of ulnar nerve

A

posterior to medial epicondyle in cubital tunnel

then thru groove called canal of guyon on anterior aspect of wrist

36
Q

median nerve passes b/w…

A

FDS and FDP

37
Q

branches of median nerve in forearm

A

anterior interosseus

small cutaneous nerve called palmar branch- superficial to flexor retinaculum

38
Q

median nerve must pass thru ___ to enter hand

A

carpal tunnel- under flexor retinaculum

39
Q

brachial artery terminates as…

A

ulnar and radial arteries

40
Q

branch of ulnar artery

A

common interosseus branch

41
Q

lateral strenght of elbow provided by…

A

radial and ulnar collateral ligaments

42
Q

radial collateral ligament blends w/

A

annular ligament of radius- forms collar around head of radius

43
Q

proximal radioulnar joint fn

A

permits radius to rotate w/i annular ligament- bw/ head of radius and ulna

44
Q

radial head dislocation

A

aka nursemaids elbow

radial head sublux out of annular ligament- common in toddlers

45
Q

game keepers thumb

A

ulnar collateral ligament rupture of thumb - often w/ fractur of bae of proximal thumb phalanx

aka skiers thumb

aka skiers thumb

46
Q

distal radius articulates w/…

A

scaphoid and lunate

47
Q

ligaments in radiocarpal joint

A

radial and ulnar collateral ligaments

48
Q

ligaments w/ metacarpophalangeal joint

A

palmar ligament or plate on anterior aspect

deep transverse metacarpal ligaments span b/w metacarpal heads
