GS and CQ - Exam 2 Flashcards
All muscles on anterior aspect of forearm are innervated by median n. except
flexor carpi ulnaris & 2 tendons on ulnar side of flexor digitorium profundus which are innervated by ulnar n.
(C.P.) an ulnar (medial) collateral ligament injury in a sprain may lead to?
abnormal abduction of the forearm
(C.P.) a radial (lateral) collateral ligament injury in a sprain may lead to?
abnormal adduction of the forearm
(C.P.) Colle’s fracture
falling on the hand with the arm extended. The radius is fractured with posterior displacement, giving a dinner fork shape to the forearm. May have injury to median and ulnar n.
(C.P.) Fractures of the carpal bones
70% scaphoid fractures
10% all hand fractures
14% triquetral fractures (2nd most common)
(C.P.) Carpal tunnel syndrome is a pathologic condition of the anterior region of the wrist caused by?
Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.
Most common cause is repetitive movement of the wrist
(C.P.) radial n. injury
wrist drop
(C.P.) median n. injury
ape hand
(C.P.) ulanr n. injury
claw hand
(C.P.) large hematomas may develop in the scalp following head injuries due to?
a loose subaponeurotic layer, and inections reaching this layer may spread widely to the dura by means of emissary veins
(C.P.) mandibular nerve block can be achieved by?
injection of local anesthesia around the mandibular nerve in the infratemporal fossa
(C.P.) coniotomy involves puncturing the cricothyroid ligament to?
allow air through the airways artificially, when there is an obstruction of the glottis or glottal edema
(C.P.) cleft palate occurs when?
the lateral palantine processes, the nasal septum, and/or the median palatine process fail to fuse, and there are a number of possible causes.
Posterior cleft is more common than anterior cleft
(C.P.) macroglassia
enlargement of the tongue, often seen in hypothyroidism, amyloidosis, and cretinism
(C.P.) Dupuytren’s contracture
Progressive fibrosis; the thickening and shortening of the palmar aponeurosis that leads to the partial flexion of the ring and small finger
(C.P.) Coniotomy
Puncturing the cricothyroid ligament to allow air through the airways artificially, when there is an obstruction of the glottis or glottal edema
(C.P.) Tracheotomy
A procedure used to create an adequate airway in patients with an upper respiratory tract obstruction or respiratory failure.
Emergency tracheotomy might be necessary when the laryngeal opening (rima glottidis)
(C.P.) Sprain
Stretching or tearing of the ligaments that reinforce a joint. Sprains can be very painful, and the complete rupture of the ligaments requires surgical repair or removal
*(Sprain to ligament as strain to muscle)
(C.P.) Dislocation (luxation)
Bones of the joint are forced out of alignment
(C.P.) Subluxation
The partial or incomplete dislocation of the joint
(C.P.) Bursitis and tendinitis
Inflammation of the bursa or tendon
(C.P.) Housemaid’s knee
Patellar bursitis
(C.P.) Student’s elbow or olecranon bursitis
The development of a bursa on the posterior aspect of the elbow
(C.P.) Arthritis
Inflammation or degeneration of the joints accompanied by pain, swelling, and stiffness
(C.P.) Rheumatoid arthritis
An autoimmune disease resulting in severe inflammation of the joints
(C.P.) Ankylosing spondylitis
A kind of rheumatoid arthritis, seen mainly in males, that affects the sacroilliac joints and vertebrea
(C.P.) Osteoarthritis
A degenerative condition involving articular cartilages, primarily in the weight-bearing joints
(C.P.) Lyme disease
Arthritis caused by bacteria transmitted via tick bites
If long thoracic nerve is damaged then it may cause winged scapula
if the arm can not be lifted then serratus anterior may be damaged
if arm can be lifted then it may be rhomboid muscle
short head and long head of biceps, brachialis, and coracobrachialis
I: Musculocutaneous N.
Knee jerk/patella reflex
L3/L4
hitting the patella tendon makes leg jump
Biceps jerk
C5/C6
Triceps jerk
C7/C8
Triceps brachii is strongest
extensor of elbow
all muscles of the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm are
extensors
