73
Q

76
Q

What is the significance of the blood supply of the scaphoid?

A

Palpable in anatomical snuffbox. Shape and blood supply are important. Has a narrow waist which is prone to fracture on outstretched hand. Since proximal portion articulates with radius, blood vessels can only enter the proximal portion through the distal waist and ascend upwards. If the waist is fractured, the proximal portion may undergo avascular necrosis.

Innervation

A
87
Q

A patient complains of loss of feeling in the lateral three and a half digits on her left hand. She also has muscle wasting of the thumb and complains of difficulty fastening buttons

What condition is this and which nerve is affected?

A

Carpal tunnel syndrome.

The median nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the lateral 3 ½ digits is being compressed within the carpal tunnel. Atrophy of the thenar eminence is also caused by this and results in difficulty in opposition of the thumb

think of ulnar nerve lesion

89
Q

If you see a patient with thenar wasting =

A

think median nerve lesion

think brachial plexus lesion and/or T1 compression (such as Pancoast’s tumour in lung cancer)

91
Q

A

yes

92
Q
A
93
Q

What type of joint is made between skull and C1 and between C1 and C2, and what type of movement does it produce?

A

A synovial pivot joint between the odontoid process/dens (C2) and the anterior arch of C1. It permits lateral rotation (shaking your head “no”). Skull and C1 is nodding movement – saying “yes”

94
Q

Which features allow the vertebral arteries a passageway through the neck?

A

Transverse foramina (foramina transversarium). Small holes in the transverse process allow the vertebral arteries to pass between C6 and C1, before entering the skull through the foramen magnum

95

A

19

Q

: What is the function of the IV discs, and which type of joint are they part of?

A

It forms a symphysis (secondary cartilaginous joint) between the two vertebrae. Serving to separate them and allow passage of the spinal nerves. They also provide an effective mechanism of distributing and dampening hydraulic pressure under compressive loading.

Q
A
104
Q
A

Coracoid process

105
Q

How does the clavicle articulate with the scapula?

A

The acromioclavicular joint is a synovial plane joint formed between the acromion process and the lateral margin of the clavicle.

106
Q
A
107
Q

: Between which of the intercostal layers does the neurovascular bundle of the costal groove run?

A

Between the innermost and internal intercostal muscle layers.

108
Q

Functions of the following muscles

Serratus anterior

Pectoralis major

Pectoralis minor

A

Serratus anterior - Protraction and stabilisation of scapula, essential for flexion of the arm at the shoulder. Resists scapular winging.

Pectoralis major - Adduction, medial rotation and flexion of the shoulder. Accessory muscle of respiration.

Pectoralis minor - Depression and rotation of scapula. Assists in elevation of ribs.

109
Q

The long thoracic nerve (“of Bell”) innervates serratus anterior and is prone to damage during surgery and lymph node removal for breast cancer – what would be the resulting effect to serratus anterior?

A

Winging of the scapula due to the course of the nerve over the medial wall of the axilla.

110
Q

Functions of the following muscles?

Rectus abdominis

External oblique

Internal oblique

Transversalis abdominis

A

Rectus abdominis (with linea alba and semilunaris) - Flexion of lumbar vertebral column.

External oblique - Unilateral contraction=rotation of trunk. Bilateral for compression and stabilisation.

Internal oblique - Unilateral contraction = rotation of trunk. Bilateral for compression and stabilisation.

Transversalis abdominis - Abdominal compression and stability.

114
Q

What are attachments of the capsule of the hip joint?

A

Anterior: acetabular margin to the intertrochanteric line. Posterior: acetabular margin to about half-way down the neck of the femur. Inferior: extends somewhat down medial border of the femur to provide some slack on abduction of the lower limb .

115
Q
A
116
Q
A
117
Q

What and where are the 2 anastomoses that supply head of femur and hip joint?

A

Cruciate and trochanteric posterior to hip joint and neck of femur. Receive blood from gluteal and obturator arteries (from internal iliac) and from circumflex branches of profunda femoris.

118
Q

Why might avascular necrosis of the femoral head occur if femoral neck is fractured?

A

Same reason as scaphoid necrosis – blood supply supplies the head of femur and joint from distal to proximal so a fracture of the neck would rupture the blood supply.

119
Q
A
120
Q

What is the primary function of gluteus medius and gluteus minimus?

A

They act together to abduct the thigh and in conjunction with the fascia lata of the thigh, which help you stand on one leg. They prevent the pelvis from dropping on the other side thereby allowing a smooth and balanced gait by balancing the pelvis.

121
Q

If they were paralysed, how would this be presented in the patient’s gait?

A

If gluteus medius and minimus are paralysed on one side, this is would result in a waddling gait called Trendelbergs sign.

122
Q

What is the innervation for these 3 muscles? And where do these nerves originate from?

gluteus medius and gluteus minimus and gluteus maximus

A

Superior gluteal nerve supplies the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. Inferior gluteal nerve supplies the gluteus maximus

Talus, Calcaneus, Navicular, Cuboid, 3 Cuneiforms (medial, middle, lateral)

134
Q

A

7 t

5 m

14 p

Q

The common fibular nerve wraps around the neck of the fibula as it enters the lateral compartment of the leg – if the nerve is damaged by say a fracture to the neck of the fibula, what would be the resulting effect?

A

: Foot drop

Q

Can you articulate the head of the talus with the inferior surface of the tibia? What shape is this called?

A

A mortice joint – stable when the joint is flat but unstable when moved in a plantarflexion direction – like when you wear heels and the ankle joint becomes unstable and wobbly.

139
Q

Ligaments of the Ankle Joint

Lateral ligaments:

A

 Calcaneofibular: runs from the calcaneus to the fibula

 Posterior talofibular: runs from the talus to the posterior part of the fibula

 Anterior talofibular: runs from talus to anterior part of the fibula

140
Q

Ligaments of the Ankle Joint

Medial Ligaments:

A

 Deltoid (medial): runs from medial malleolus and spreads out in a triangle shape

141
Q

What is the function of the cruciate ligaments?

A

To prevent anterior and posterior displacement.

142
Q

What is the function of the collateral ligaments?

A

to prevent lateral or medial displacement.

143
Q
A
144
Q

How might you test whether a patient has a damaged ACL? Damaged PCL? Damaged collateral ligaments?

A

Anterior draw test most common method. Most ACL injuries are sustained through nonimpact injury as a result of excessive translation. Posterior draw test for PCL.

145
Q

What is the function of a meniscus?

A

: Their most important function is to increase the area of contact between the femoral condyle and tibia. It also acts as a reservoir for synovial fluid, which is released at the point of articulation under compressive loading.

146
Q

There are three muscle compartments that are found in the leg

What are they?

A

Posterior compartment: superficial and deep parts

 Lateral compartment: fibularis longus and fibularis brevis

 Anterior compartment: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus

147
Q
A

 Gastrocnemius

 Soleus

 Popliteus

 Tibialis posterior

 Flexor hallucis longus

 Flexor digitorum longus

fibularis longus

fibularis brevis

: tibialis anterior,

extensor hallucis longus

extensor digitorum longus
