brachioradialis in anterior compartment -early return of this can portend a early return to fxn in nerve injury cases

293
Q

which muscles are key to testing for BPI

A

rhomboids and serratus - dorsal scapular nn and long thoracic - if normal then indicates a POST ganglionic injury

294
Q

hyponychium

A

skin imemdiate distal and palmar to the nail - at jxn of sterile matrix and fingertip skin

295
Q

downside of volar approach to MCP during dislocation

A

injury to nerves as they get pushed closer to skin

296
Q

best fusion rate in fingers seen with

A

headless screws

297
Q

tendon healing stages

A

first 7 days macrophage and fibroblasts migrate and eat debris; week 1-3 is proliferation of unorganized type 3 collagen and neovascularization and fibroblasts - still week; at week 3-12 strengthening begins

298
Q

consequence of untreated volar dislocation with frx at PIP

A

Boutonierre - the central slip which attaches to dorsal middle phalanx will become incompetent resulting in volar sublux of lateral bands

299
Q

cervical paraspinal EMG in POST-ganglionic injury

A

IS NORMAL

300
Q

hand vascular arches

A

superficial arch is more distal and supplies ulnar digital artery as well as common digital arteries to middle and ring finger; deep arch gives of to thumb and index

301
Q

which tfcc tear to repair

A

acute ulnar based is best

302
Q

endo, peri, epineureum

A

endo is around nerve fibger; peri is around the fascicle; peripheral nerve is surrounded by EPIneurium

303
Q

watson test for SL competnece

A

the wrist is moved to radial deviation and scaphoid should normally FLEX; if its OUT volarpressure from examiner will keep the scaphoid dorsally and painfully displaced - once pressure is discontinued it CLUNKS back in place and releives the pain

304
Q

what part of A2 pulley is most important

A

distal 50% is most important

305
Q

injury to vessel during Dupuytrens

A

if vasospasm from traction or extending the contracted digit then flex finger and warm saline + topical lidocaine; phentolamine can be given for prolonged vasospasm; if cut then needs primary repair

306
Q

do ALL dupuyrens nodules become cords

A

no they appear earlier but do not necessarily progress

307
Q

Bouvier test for PIP fxn

A

assesement of clawing - neutral wrist, MCP flexion and asses if PIP can actively extend - if they cannot then need to connect tendon to lateral band

308
Q

why is isolated C8-T1 relatively contraindicated for BPI surgery

A

bc more predictable to do nerve or distal tendon transfers

309
Q

tx of Swan Neck in CP

A

central slip tenotomy to balance extensor mechanism over PIP and DIP

310
Q

nerve surgery vs tendon transfers

A

generally after 12 months tendon transfers are recommended; nerve surgery should be within 6 months

311
Q

rate of EPL rupture with distal radius

A

5% at most

312
Q

DIP arthroplasty vs arthrodesis

A

similar outcomes with pain and function but higher faiure with arthroplasty

313
Q

causes of DISI or SL disruption

A

Kienbock, Radiolunate injury, Dorsal intercapral ligament injury; distal radius frx/nonunion

314
Q

triquetrum articulations

A

distally hammate, radially with lunate, volarly with pisiform

315
Q

what is best prognosis of brachial plexus birth injury

A

return of antigravity biceps by 2 months

316
Q

3 zones of guyon canal - zone 3

A

include the sensory branch; remains superficial; innverates palmaris brevis and sensation to little finger and ulnar ring finger

317
Q

visceral vs parietal paratenon

A

visceral lines the tendon; parietal lines the undersurface of the sheath

318
Q

which tendon has multiple slips in DeQ

A

APL - has wide variability in insertions and slips

319
Q

Parona’s space,

A

lies bw the fascia of the pronator quadratus muscle and FDP conjoined tendon sheaths. Infection tracking through this space presents as a horseshoe abscess.

320
Q

Wassel II is

A

Double distal phalanx

321
Q

what collagenasse is used for Dupuytrens

A

clostridium histolyticum; low activity against collagen IV and has lowere recurrence at MCP vs PIP

322
Q

optimal flexion for ring pIP

A

40 degrees; in general ulnar digit PIP flexion is important to preserve for power grip

323
Q

hook of hamate is site of origin for

A

flexor digiti minim and opponens digit minimi

324
Q

traumatic amp proximal toFDS insertion

A

contraindicated to replant

325
Q

thenar space is separated from mid palm space by

A

septum at the long finger metacarpal

326
Q

dorsal extrinsic ligaments of wrist

A

Dorsal radiocarpal (inserts on the lunate and triquetrum); and the dorsal INTERcarpal - triquetrum to scaphoid/trapezoid/capitate
