HANDS Flashcards
which muscles are in the thenar?
abductor pollicus brevis,
adductor pollicus,
opponens pollicus
what muscles in the hypothenar?
abductor digiti minimi
flexor digiti minimi
palmaris brevis
where do the lumbricals come from?
tendon of flexor digitorum profundus
dorsal interossie does what?
abduction of digits 1-4
which digit is the most mobile component of the hand
D5
both lumbricals and dorsal/palmar interossie insert into the extensor mechanism?
yes
what is the primary extensor of distal and proximal ip joints?
extensor digitorum communis EDC
EDC IS A PROXIMAL EXTENSOR
REMEMER THAT
define the extensor mechanism:
central slip inserts into base of mid. phalanx
interossie & lumbricals go into dorsal apparatus
lumbricals is primary extensor of DIP jt
EDC is primary extensor of PIP jt
which nerve passes through carpel tunnel
median
does the ulnar nerve wrap around the hook of the hamate?
yess
T OR F: median nerve has largest % of pain fibers
true
is the ulnar nerve responsible for fine motor control?
yes
list the steps of digital flexing? (fisting)
EDC extends wrist and MCP
FDC flexes DIP
EDC relaxes, FDS flexes PIP & interossie flex MCP
power grip with full fisting= both from interossie and FDP
what do the interossie do?
extend PIPs
flex MCPs
adduct and abduct digits
what do the lumbricals do
extend DIPs
what does the FDP do
flex DIPs as a group
what does the FDS do
flexes PIP individually
with mallet finger, what fails?
extensor mechanism attaching to DIP , its a distal extensor tendon injury
t or f: if you lose extension of 1 joint youll get flexion?
true
define swan neck deformity
injury to palmar PIP joint (hyperextension)
