Q

Biceps rupture

A

could tear the biceps from an attachment on the supraglenoid tubercle, the radial tuberosity or both. Make the bicep appear higher or lower on the arm depending on where it is torn. Sometimes if the person is not an athlete they won’t repair it, if they do, they sew the tendon back onto the bone

Q

Ulnar Artery branches

A

branches off into common interossius artery which is very short and splits very quickly into the anterior and posterior interossius artery

21
Q

Radius

A

-main articulation of the wrist -articulate with the ulna, humerus, scaphoid, and lunate bones -the tuberosity of the radius is where the biceps tendon attaches

22
Q

Ulna

A

-more stable because it has a hook -articulates with humerus and radius -has a fibrocartilagenous disc at the wrist

23
Q

Muscles of the anterior portion of the arm (characteristic)

A

common origin at the medial epicondyle of the humerus

24
Q

Radio-ulnar pronators

A

cause the radius to rotate on a fixed ulna bringing the forearm and hang “palms down” 1. pronator teres 2. pronator quadratus

25
Q

Wrist flexors

A

attach to the medial epicondyle of the humerus and bring the palm of the hand toward the elbow (flexion)

  1. flexor carpi radialis
  2. palmaris longus
  3. flexor carpi ulnaris
26
Q

Digital Flexors

A

extrinsic, bellies of origin in forearm but exert actions of wrist and hand

  1. flexor digitorum superficialis
  2. flexor digitorum profundus
  3. flexor pollicis longus
27
Q

Movement of the thumb

A
28
Q

median motor nerve muscle supply (7)

A
  1. pronator teres
  2. pronator quadratus
  3. flexor carpi radialis
  4. palmaris longus
  5. flexor digitorum superficialis
  6. radial 1/2 of flexor digitorum profundus
  7. flexor pollicis longus
29
Q

ulnar motor nerve supply (2)

A
  1. flexor carpi radialis
  2. ulna portion of the flexor digtorum profundus
30
Q

cutaneous innervation of the forearm

A

Lateral/radial side

  • lateral antibrachial cutaneous (C6), cutaneous branch of musculocutaneous nerve

Medial/ulna side

  • medial antibrachial cutaneous carries sensory axons from T1. Branch of medial cord of brachial plexus
31
Q

blood supply to flexor compartment of the forearm

A

provided by radial and ulnar arteries which brach from brachial artery

32
Q

branches of the radial artery

A
  1. muscular branches to muscles in flexor compartment
  2. recurrent branch in elbow anastomosis
33
Q

branches of the ulnar artery

A
  1. muscular branch to the muscle in the flexor compartment
  2. recurrent in elbow anastomosis
  3. common interosseous branch
    1. anterior: deep lying muscles in flexor
    2. posterior: main blood supply to muscles in extensor
34
Q

posterior compartment of the forarm characteristic

A

wrist and finger extensors have a common attachment from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus

35
Q

Anatomical Snuff box muscles

A

act on the 1st metacarpal and joints of the thumb

  1. abductor pollicis longus
  2. extensor pollicis brevis
  3. extensor pollicis longus
36
Q

wrist extensors

A
  1. extensor carpi radialis longus
  2. extensor carpi radialis brevis
  3. extensor carpi ulnaris (weaker than other 2, why extension usually occurs along with radial deviation)
37
Q

finger extensors

A
  1. extensor digitorum
  2. extensor digiti minimi
  3. extensor indicis
38
Q

misc. muscles in the forearm

A
  1. supinator: weak supinator of the radioulnar joint (biceps is the strongest)
  2. brachioradialis: flexes elbow when the hand is in neutral position
39
Q

Extensor compartments

A

6 tunnels that are comprised of a tendon(s) surrounded by a synovial sheath. located within tunnels bound by portions of the extensor retinaculum

40
Q

Compartment 1

A

abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.

most clincally significant. repetitive movements of the thumb and wrist can result in De Quervain’s Disease

41
Q

Compartment 2

A

extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis tendons

42
Q

Compartment 3

A

Extensor pollicis longus tendon (wraps around tubercle on radius)

43
Q

Compartment 4

A

extensor digitorum and etensor indicis

44
Q

Compartment 5

A

Extensor digiti minimi

45
Q

Compartment 6

A

extendor carpi radialis tendon

46
Q

De Quervain’s Disease

A

caused by repetitve movents of the thumb and wrist, especially flexion of the thumb and ulnar deviation of the wrist results in pain to the dorsal aspect of wrist

asking the patient to fold their thumb under the fingers and move the wrist toward the ulna (ulnar deviation) produces a pain that tests positive for this condition

47
Q

Innervation of the extensor compartment

A

Radial Nerve: enters the cubital fossa and winds arounf the shaft of the humerus. Branches into:

  • muscular branches that supply extensor carpi radialis longus and brachioradialis
  • a superficial branch that conveys sensory ONLY from the dorsum of the hand and thumb
  • a deep branch: pierces the supinator muscle and supplies ECRB
48
Q

blood supply of the extensor compartment of the forearm

A

posterior interosseus branch of the common interosseus artery to all of the muscles

49
Q

tennis elbow

A

overuse of extensors, tearing or inflammation on or around the lateral epicondyle. common treatment is to put a strap around the tendons

also medial epicondylitis which is the same thing only on the lateral epicondyle
