Q

Knee joint - unhappy triad?

A

lateral leg struck more - so tibial collateral lig is MOST freq torn lig in knee -

athletes -

  1. tibial collateral lig MCL
  2. medial meniscus
  3. anterior cruciate lig ACL

The main difference between an ACL tear and an MCL tear is that an ACL tear will have a distinctive popping sound, while an MCL tear will not. MCL tears are typically easier to recover from than ACL tears. With an MCL tear, the recovery process may take up to eight weeks or more with rehabilitation.

112
Q

Which is worse ACL or MCL tear?

A

There are 4 major ligaments in the knee. The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is most likely to be considered the worst ligament in the knee to tear. … Tearing the MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) and the LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament) is not as common as tearing the ACL.

113
Q

acl vs pcl

A

The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, keeps the knee from sliding forward. The PCL, or posterior cruciate ligament, keeps the knee from sliding backward. An ACL or PCL injury occurs when the ligament has been torn. The tear may be partial or complete.

212
Q

longest nerve in body?

A

great saphenous - starts 1” below inguinal lig (from femoral??) to big toe

The saphenous nerve is a sensory branch of the femoral nerve (lumbar plexus L3, L4), and supplies sensation to the anteromedial, medial and posteromedial surface of the leg. … The nerve passes through the adductor canal, and gives off an infrapatellar branch.

The great saphenous vein is a large venous blood vessel running near the inside surface of the leg from the ankle to the groin. It arises from the dorsal venous arch at the top (dorsum) of the foot and drains into the femoral vein, the main deep vein for the leg.

217
Q

The popliteal fossa ?

A

(sometimes referred to colloquially as the knee pit, or poplit) is a shallow depression located at the back of the knee joint.

Contents - The popliteal fossa contains the popliteal vessels, the tibial and the common peroneal nerves, the termination of the small saphenous vein, the lower part of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, the articular branch from the obturator nerve, a few small lymph glands, and a considerable quantity of fat.

218
Q

A Baker’s cyst

A

forms when excess synovial fluid bulges into the hollow at the back of the knee joint. … Baker’s cysts aren’t dangerous and they may go away on their own. But occasionally they burst, and if that happens, synovial fluid can leak into the calf below, causing pain, swelling, and reddening.

usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause your knee to produce too much fluid, which can lead to a Baker’s cyst.

219
Q

Decreased sensation to anterio/lateral thig ?

A

clothing too tight - lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. See also in pregnancy, pelvic procedures

220
Q

torus fracture?

A

buckle fractures, are incomplete fractures of the shaft of a long bone that is characterized by bulging of the cortex. They result from trabecular compression due to an axial loading force along the long axis of the bone.

vs greenstick fracture - a fracture of the bone, occurring typically in children, in which one side of the bone is broken and the other only bent.

There is a difference between buckle fracture and greenstick fractures. Buckle fractures (also called torus) are defined as a compression of the bony cortex on one side with the opposite cortex remains intact. In contrast, a greenstick fracture the opposite cortex is not intact.

Q

You diagnose your patient with a tibial fracture and place a BK cast on for 8 weeks. He understands that his leg muscles will decrease in size and strength. You suggest some exercises to be done each day at home. One of the exercises is to “scrunch up” a towel on the floor with his toes. In this exercise, he is using his digital flexor muscles. Which muscle is the major flexor of the DIPJ and is innervated by the tibial nerve?

A

Flexor digitorum longus

226
Q

A branch from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus innervates which of the following muscles

A

lats

The latissimus dorsi is innervated by the thoracodorsal nerve which is a branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. Also arising from the posterior cord is the upper subscapular nerve which innervates the subscapularis, the lower subscapular nerve which supplies the subscapularis and the teres major, and the axillary nerve which furnishes the deltoid and teres minor muscles. The radial nerve is a continuation of the posterior cord. The pectoralis major is innervated by the lateral and medial pectoral nerves which are branches of the lateral and medial cords respectively. The coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, and the brachialis are innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve, a branch of the lateral cord.

227
Q

Rotator cuff muscles stabilize the humerus in the glenoid cavity while allowing extreme range of motion. Which of the following muscles is an internal rotator muscle?

A

subscapularis

228
Q

To which sites is the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee attached?

A

Anterior intercondylar area of tibia; medial surface of lateral femoral condyle

229
Q

Which forearm muscle originates on the medial epicondyle of the humerus?

A

The distal end of the humerus flares out to form two rounded protuberances (one on each side of the elbow) called epicondyles. The medial and lateral epicondyles serve as attachments for muscles of the forearm.

The pronators of the forearm and flexors of the wrist and fingers (with two exceptions) originate on the medial epicondyle. They include pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, and flexor digitorum superficialis. (The two exceptions are flexor digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus, which originate on the proximal and distal shaft of the ulna, respectively.) All of these muscles are located in the anterior compartment of the forearm.

The supinators of the forearm and extensors of the wrist and fingers originate on the lateral epicondyle. They include extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, extensor carpi ulnaris, and supinator (all located in the posterior compartment of the forearm). The anconeus muscle, an extensor of the elbow, also originates on the lateral epicondyle. (Anconeus is sometimes considered part of the triceps brachii, and does not belong to the posterior compartment of the forearm.)

230
Q

A 38-year-old construction worker sees his health care provider because of shoulder pain. Physical examination reveals a dislocated glenohumeral joint. Radiographic imaging reveals a tear in the muscles that stabilize the glenohumeral joint. Identify the muscle most likely injured in this patient.

A

Infraspinatus muscle

The rotator cuff muscle group stabilizes the glenohumeral joint. The tendons of these muscles reinforce the ligaments of the glenohumeral joint capsule. The tendons of the long head of the biceps and triceps brachii muscles attach to the supraglenoid and infraglenoid tubercles, but do not significantly contribute to stability of the glenohumeral joint.

231
Q

The serratus anterior acts to pull the scapula forward around the thorax.

A

long thoracic nerve

The contraction of the entire serratus anterior leads to a anterolateral movement of the scapula along the ribs. Due to the pull of the inferior part at the lower scapula, the shoulder joint is shifted superiorly. This shifting now enables to lift the arm above 90° (elevation).

232
Q

A 29-year-old man is diagnosed with paralysis of the left piriformis muscle. Which of the following actions is the most likely difference between the left and right foot during gait?

A

Left foot points more medially

The action of the piriformis muscle is lateral rotation of the hip. Therefore, during gait, the left piriformis muscle would laterally rotate the left hip so that the toe points anteriorly. However, in a patient with a paralyzed left piriformis muscle, the toe points more medially because there is a weaker counter contraction from the piriformis muscle.

233
Q

Which of the following muscles flexes the glenohumeral and elbow joints and supinates the radioulnar joints?

two joint muscle??

A

Biceps brachii muscle , two head, two joint, two words starting w B

NOT the brachialis

The biceps brachii muscle flexes the glenohumeral and elbow joints because of its anterior position. Its attachment to the radial tuberosity also allows it to supinate the radioulnar joints.

The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint. It lies deeper than the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa. The brachialis is the prime mover of elbow flexion.

234
Q

Which of the following arteries courses through the anatomical snuffbox?

A

radial artery

235
Q

During a physical examination, a 24-year-old woman is instructed to lie supine on the examination table. During the procedure, she is instructed to resist allowing the health care provider to pull her feet downward into plantarflexion. The patient presents with right-sided weakness in this task. Which of the following nerves is most likely responsible for this muscle weakness in this patient?

A

deep fibular

When the feet are pulled downward, the dorsiflexion muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg are being tested. If the patient exhibits weakness in this task, the most likely explanation then is lack of innervation from the deep fibular (peroneal) nerve.

Foot drop is a gait abnormality in which the dropping of the forefoot happens due to weakness, irritation or damage to the common fibular nerve including the sciatic nerve, or paralysis of the muscles in the anterior portion of the lower leg. It is usually a symptom of a greater problem, not a disease in itself.

236
Q

The suprascapular and dorsal scapular arteries form a collateral circuit on the posterior side of the scapula with which of the following branches of the axillary artery?

A

The circumflex scapular artery courses through the triangular space to form a collateral circuit with the suprascapular and dorsal scapular arteries.

237
Q

What does the posterior humeral circumflex artery supply?

A

It winds around the surgical neck of the humerus and is distributed to the deltoid muscle and shoulder-joint, anastomosing with the anterior humeral circumflex and deep artery of the arm. It supplies the teres major, teres minor, deltoid, and (long head only) triceps muscles.

The anterior circumflex humeral artery provides part of the blood supply to the glenohumeral joint, teres major and minor, and deltoid muscles. The ascending branch provides supply to the head of the humerus 1

238
Q

The boundaries of the three parts of the axillary artery are determined by its relationship to which muscle?

A

Pectoralis minor muscle

239
Q

A 49-year-old woman is diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Which tendon of the following muscles would most likely be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome?

A

Flexor pollicis longus muscle

The tendon of the flexor pollicis longus muscle courses through the carpal tunnel with the tendons of the flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus muscles and the median nerve.

240
Q

A 17-year-old boy is admitted to the emergency department with a leg fracture. He fell off his motorcycle and tore the interosseous membrane and fractured the proximal fibula. On examination, the patient is found to have decreased cutaneous sensation over the distal lateral aspect of his right leg and over the dorsal aspect of his right foot, with sparing of the space between his first and second digits. The primary motor abnormality you are most likely to observe would be decreased

A

Eversion of the foot

The decreased cutaneous sensation of this patient is in the field of the superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve with sparing of the deep fibular (peroneal) nerve (space between digits 1 and 2). Therefore, with injuries involving the superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve, the muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg would be affected, and therefore, eversion of the foot would be weakened.

241
Q

Which of the following nerves courses between the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles?

A

radial

The radial nerve courses between the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles on the lateral side of the brachium after piercing the intermuscular septum.

242
Q

The biceps femoris muscle receives its name because it has two origins. One attachment is to the linea aspera of the femur. The other attachment is to the

A

Ischial tuberosity

243
Q

Inflammation in Guyon’s canal will most likely result in weakness in which of the following movements?

A

Adduction of digits 2 to 5

The ulnar nerve courses through Guyon’s canal. Compression of the nerve will cause weakness in the muscles it innervates, including the palmer interosseous muscles, which are responsible for adduction of digits 2 to 5.

244
Q

A 20-year-old woman stepped on a nail and it penetrated the plantar surface of her bare foot, injuring the lateral plantar nerve. Which of the following muscles would most likely be rendered nonfunctional?

A

Dorsal interossei muscles

The dorsal interossei are muscles innervated by the lateral plantar nerve. The other muscles listed as choices (i.e., first lumbrical, abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, and flexor hallucis brevis muscles) are all innervated by the medial plantar nerve.

245
Q

A paralabral cyst arising from a detached inferior glenoid labrum tear compresses neurovascular structures coursing through the quadrangular space. If this condition were to become chronic, which of the following findings would most likely be revealed on an MRI?

A

deltoid atrophy

The axillary nerve courses through the quadrangular space with the posterior humeral circumflex artery. Therefore, compression of the axillary nerve would weaken the deltoid muscle and thus weaken shoulder abduction.

246
Q

Which of the following actions would you most likely expect to be the weakest if your patient has a lesion of the tibial nerve in the popliteal fossa?

A

Flexion of the digits

The tibial nerve innervates the posterior compartment of the leg and intrinsic muscles of the feet. Therefore, if there is a nerve lesion within the popliteal fossa, the nerves innervating the posterior muscles of the leg would then be affected. These muscles include the flexor digitorum muscles.

247
Q

The upper subscapular, lower subscapular, and thoracodorsal nerves branch from which cord of the brachial plexus?

A

Posterior cord

The upper subscapular, lower subscapular, and thoracodorsal nerves branch off of the posterior cord in the axilla, just anterior to the subscapularis muscle.

248
Q

The posterior compartment of the thigh primarily receives its blood supply from branches of which of the following arteries?

A

The deep femoral artery gives rise to perforating arteries, which pierce through openings in the adductor magnus muscle insertion and provide the primary vascular supply to the posterior thigh compartment. The inferior gluteal artery provides some vascular supply but not as much as the deep femoral artery.

249
Q

A 46-year-old woman sees her health care provider with a complaint of pain over the anterolateral forearm. Clinical examination reveals no muscle weakness in the patient’s upper limb, but notes problems with the right lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. Which of the following is the most likely activity resulting in this patient’s injury?

A

Venipuncture of the right cephalic vein in the antebrachial fossa

The musculocutaneous nerve innervates the anterior compartment of the arm. The cephalic vein courses in the antebrachial fossa adjacent to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. Therefore, a venipuncture of the cephalic vein may injure the adjacent cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve. Avulsion of the medial epicondyle would affect forearm flexors, and a midhumeral fracture would affect the radial nerve. Hypertrophy of the coracobrachialis muscle would affect the entire musculocutaneous nerve and result in the cutaneous presentation, but would also negatively affect motor activity. Lateral epicondyle inflammation would affect forearm extensors.

250
Q

A 42-year-old man is admitted to the emergency department in shock and requires a saphenous cut down to receive an infusion. To isolate the great saphenous vein in the ankle region, you would most likely determine its location in which of the following areas?

Anterior to the medial malleolus

A

The great saphenous vein is formed from the dorsal venous arch on the dorsum of the foot. The great saphenous vein then courses anterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia, up the medial aspect of the leg.

251
Q

The superior ulnar collateral artery forms a collateral circuit with which of the following arteries?

A

The superior ulnar collateral artery anastomoses with the posterior ulnar recurrent artery from the ulnar artery that is posterior to the medial epicondyle.

252
Q

A 38-year-old man is admitted to the emergency department after being involved in an automobile accident. He is unable to abduct or adduct his toes. If this patient has a deficit from a spinal cord lesion, which of the following spinal cord levels is most likely affected by this injury?

S2–S3

A

The intrinsic muscles of the feet are innervated by the lateral plantar nerves. The lateral plantar nerve primarily carries motor innervation from the S2–S3 spinal cord levels. L1–L2 would result in weak hip flexion. L3–L4 would result in weak knee extension. L5–S2 would result in weak hip extension and knee flexion, and S1–S2 would result in weak dorsiflexion and plantar flexion

253
Q

Which of the following muscles can flex, extend, and abduct the glenohumeral joint?

A

deltoid

254
Q

Most of the muscles of the medial thigh compartment are innervated by the obturator nerve. The exception is the vertical division of the adductor magnus muscle, which is innervated by which of the following nerves?

A

The vertical division of the adductor magnus muscle is also known as the hamstring division because it receives the same innervation of the hamstring muscles via the tibial nerve.

255
Q

A 34-year-old man is diagnosed with a left internal iliac artery aneurism. As a result, he presents with a left superior gluteal nerve lesion and an accompanying gait disorder. While walking, this patient would most likely compensate by flexing his trunk to the

Left, to lift his right lower limb so that his right foot can be lifted off the ground

A

The left superior gluteal nerve innervates the gluteus medius and minimus muscles. While walking, the left gluteal muscles will stabilize the pelvis so that the right limb does not droop when swinging. However, if there is a lesion on the superior gluteal nerve, the left gluteal muscles are not functioning, and therefore, the right hip drops. To compensate, the patient will laterally flex the spine to the left so that the right foot will be higher off the ground when walking.

256
Q

Extensor pollicis longus? tendon where?

A

in thumb you can see it - if severed it may retract into wrist.

Meanwhile, the abductor pollicis longus (APL) is one of the extrinsic muscles of the hand. As the name implies, its major function is to abduct the thumb at the wrist. Its tendon forms the anterior border of the anatomical snuffbox.

257
Q

Foot muscles - all of them< 4 layers

A

Explanation The superficial layer or the first layer consists of the flexor digitorum brevis, abductor hallucis, and the abductor digiti minimi muscles.
The second layer consists of the quadratus plantae and the lumbrical muscles.

The third layer includes the flexor hallucis brevis, adductor hallucis, and the flexor digiti minimi brevis.

Q

A 44-year-old woman is suspected of having meningitis. To confirm the diagnosis, a lumbar puncture is ordered to collect a sample of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Identify the last layer of tissue the needle will traverse in this procedure before reaching CSF.

A

A lumbar puncture collects cerebrospinal fluid and, therefore, the needle has to enter the subarachnoid space, which is located between the arachnoid and pia mater. Therefore, the last layer of tissue the needle would traverse to enter the subarachnoid space is the arachnoid mater.

264
Q

lumbar puncture layers

A

The Lumbar Puncture needle pierces in order: skin, subcutaneous tissue, supraspinous ligament, interspinous ligament, ligamentum flavum, epidural space containing the internal vertebral venous plexus, dura, arachnoid, and finally the subarachnoid space.

265
Q

what kind of joint is the inferior tibiofibular joint ?

A

The inferior tibiofibular joint is NOT a synovial joint, but is a fibrous joint.

266
Q

Which severed nerve in the forearm will prevent flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb?

A

The anterior interosseous nerve arises from the median nerve 5 to 8 cm. distal to the level of the lateral epicondyle. During its passage through the forearm this nerve innervates the flexor pollicis longus (flexes the interphalangeal joint of the thumb), the radial half of the flexor digitorum profundus (flexes the distal interphalangeal joints of the index and middle fingers), and the pronator quadratus (pronates the forearm). The patient in the photograph who has paralysis of the right interosseous nerve was asked to demonstrate the letter “o” with the thumb and index finger of both hands. The left hand is normal and the right hand illustrates her inability to flex the interphalangeal joint of the thumb and the distal phalangeal joint of the index finger.
