30
Q

retrograde blood flow

A

scaphoid #

if proximal- chance of necrosis because blood travels distal first and then proximal

31
Q

blood supply to fingers

A

radial and ulnar arteries

superior and deep palmar arches

32
Q

finkelsteins

A

DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis

pt makes a fist and then deviates into ulnar deviation
sharp pain is evidence of stenosing tenosynovitis
pain over carpal tunnel - median nerve

33
Q

tinel sign (wrist)

A

carpal tunnel
tapping over the transverse carpal ligament- which causes tingling and parasthesia over the thumb, indea, middle and ring finger - median nerve

34
Q

phalens test

A

wrist are bent down with backs of each hand touching

carpal tunnel sufferers feel tingling or pain within 60 seconds

35
Q

allens test

A

occlude both ulnar and radial artery until hand blanches then release ulnar. If the
hand pinks up, ulnar artery is good and you can carry on with ABG/radial stick as planned. ABGS
must be put on ice and whisked to the lab.

36
Q

tfcc injury

A

MOI: torque or violent twist, foosh
ulnar pain
wrist extension is difficult
clicking or catching and considerable swelling

37
Q

drop wrist

A

radial nerve palsy

38
Q

benediction deformity

A

wasting of the hypothenar, dorsal interossei, and fourth and fifth lumbrical muscles resulting from ulnar nerve palsy (bishops deformity)

40
Q

ape hand

A
