Injuries Flashcards
Injury results in weakness against resistance in elevation of the scapula and atrophy of a lateral neck muscle as well as cranial nerve damage.
Trapezius (Cranial nerve XI)
Injury results in weakness in extension and lateral rotation along entire length of spine
erector spinae
Injury results in radiating pain around shoulder blades and weakness elevating ribs on deep breathing
Serratus posterior superior
Neck injury results in weakened ability to extend and medially rotate upper limb
lattissimus dorsi
sharp trauma to back of neck damages suboccipital nerve, resulting in weakened ability to extend and rotate the head to same same against resistance
rectus capitis posterior major
malformation in group that attaches to ligamentum nuchae results in weakened ability to extend neck bilaterally
splenius capitis
trauma to lateral neck results in lesion to dorsal scapular nerve and weakened ability to shrug shoulders
levator scapulae
loss of innervation to pair of hypaxial muscles results in bilateral weakness in ability to retract scapulae but does not affect ability to elevate scapula
Rhomboids- major or minor
In spinal surgery, small muscles of intrinsic back must be retracted from lamina and transverse processes of one or two vertebral segments
Rotatores
In neck surgery, vertebral artery is observed passing just deep to the muscle prior to the artery entering the foramen magnum
Rectus capitis posterior major
Whiplash injury (hyperextension) damages what
Anterior longitudinal ligament and can cause vertebral fracture
Whiplash injury (hyperflexion) damages what
interspinous lignament and can cause vertebral fracture and disc herniation
Injury to atlanto-axial joint affects what range of motion
Head shaking no and rotation
Subclavian Steal Syndrome
Retrograde flow in the vertebral artery due to an ipsilateral subclavian artery stenosis.
Deep laceration of the at the metacarpal carpal joint that cuts the deep palmar arch
compromise flexion of the fingers
deep palmar arch is post. to tendons of the flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus
Does deep laceration to the palmar arch usually damage the ulnar or radial artery?
No
Wrist drop- midshaft fracture of humerus; badly fitted crutch; arm draped over chair
Radial Nerve injury
extension of wrist and digits is lost; supination compromised; sensory loss of poster arm, forearm, and lateral aspect of hand
Radial nerve injury
surgical neck of humerus fracture; abduction of arm to horizontal is compromised
Axillary nerve injury
anterior dislocation of shoulder joint injury
axillary nerve injury
Stab wound that affects abduction of arm past horizontal
long thoracic nerve injury
common nerve injury in masectomy
long thoracic nerve injury
Elbow injury that results in loss of flexion of wrist, and flexion of index and middle fingers as well as loss of abduction, opposition and flexion of thumb
Median nerve injury at elbow- supracondylar fracure of humerus
