Hand questions Flashcards
Which gene regulates patterning in limb development
HOX
what tissue comprises limb bud
mesenchyme covered by ectoderm; limb grows by proliferation mesenchym
When do limb buds appear
end of 4th week, (day 26,27)
Critical period for upper extremity development
24-36 days
When are finger buds visible?
end of week 6
when does UE ossification occur
between 8-12 weeks; epiphyses gradually ossify til end of puberty
last bones to ossify
carpal bones don’t start until 1st year of life
Sensory or motor innervation first?
Motor, sensory axons follow motor
nervous system myelination completed
around 2 yrs of age
Proximodistal development
AER, FGFR
Radioulnar development
ZPA, SHH
dorsoventral dvelopment
Wnt, EN-1
Process responsible for syndactyly
Failure of apoptosis, bone morphogenic proteins signaling TGF beta
Frequency syndactyly
1 in 2200; middle and ring web space most common
which arteries supply early limb buds
dorsal intersegmental arteries from aorta
ASSH congenital deformity classifications
formation, differentiation, duplication, overgrowth, undergrowth, constriction band syndromes, generalized anomalies and syndromes
Fixed unit of hand
distal carpal row + 2nd, 3rd metacarpals
borders snuff box
Ant: APL, EPB
Post: EPL
Floor: scaphoid, trapezium
best 2 pt discrimination
ulnar digits, 2-3mm, pts in 20s
AIN innervates…
PQ, FDP to index and middle, FPL
pronator teres - inn by median nerve before AIN
Median n intrinsics
LOAF: radial two Lumbricals, Opponens pollicis, Abductor PB, superficial head of FPB
thenar muscles superficial to deep
AbPB, FPB, OP, AdP
Hypothenar muscles
palmaris brevis, AbDM, FDMB, ODM
Mobile wad
BR, ECRB, ECRL
Giant cell tumor of bone
needs CT chest
test EPL function
put palm down, lift thumb off table; only EPL can lift dorsal to plane of palm
CRPS type 1 neuron
c sensory - respond to physiologic changes in body
darrach procedure
istal ulna resection, is a well-established procedure to treat distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthritis and distal ulnar instability such as in caput ulnae syndrome. A dorsal approach is used to gain access to the DRUJ via dorsal fifth extensor compartment approach. The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) sheath are preserved
vein in reverse sural
lesser saph
nerve transfer for biceps
FCU fascicle of ulnar nerve to biceps
