Miller's Anatomy Review Flashcards
Ortho anatomy review
Brachial plexus location
Runs between anterior and middle scalene muscles and deep to pectoralis minor
Pre vs post fixed brachial plexus
Pre fixed = cord starts more proximal, post fixed more distal
Erb’s point
Convergence of C5 and C6, point involved in Stingers
Pre-ganglionic injury
Proximal to DRG, poor prognosis, rhomboid paralysis, rotator cuff dysfunction, Horner syndrome, elevated hemi-diaphragm, EMG = absent motor but intact sensation
Post-ganglionic injury
EMG: motor AND sensory not intact, total plexus injury has worse prognosis, Klumke is bad, Erb’s is best prognosis
Musculocutaneous nerve pierces coracobrachialis how far
3-8cm from coracoid tip
Sites of radial nerve compression
“FLEAS” Fascial band at radial head, Leash of Henry, ECRB, Arcade of Frohse (proximal edge of supinator), Supinator distal edge
Median nerve sites of compression
“SPLAT” Supracondylar process/ligament of Struthers, Pronator teres, Lacetus fibrosis, FDS aponeurosis, Transverse carpal ligament
Ulnar nerve sites of compression
Arcade of Struthers, medial intermuscular septum, medial epicondyle, Osborne’s ligament, FCU heads, anconeus epitrochlearis
Guyon’s canal zones of compression
Zone I: sensory and motor, Ganglion cyst or hamate fracture. Zone 2: motor only, Ganglion cyst or hamate fracture. Zone 3, sensory only, ulnar artery thrombosis or aneurysm
Ulnar nerve paradox
Proximally innervated FDP causes clawing when intrinsics are out in distal ulnar nerve palsy
Medial scapular winging
Long thoracic nerve injury
Lateral scapular winging
Spinal accessory nerve injury, commonly associated with neck surgery
Supraspinatus footprint
12-13mm
Most harmful phase of throwing for rotator cuff
Deceleration
Teres major innervation
Lower subscapular nerve
Quadrangular space
Axillary nerve, posterior circumflex passes between T. minor, T. Major, long head of triceps and humerus
Triangular space
Circumflex scapular artery passes between T. minor, T. major and long head of triceps
Triangular interval
Radial nerve, profunda brachii pass between T. major, long head of triceps and humerus
Judet approach interval
Infraspinatus and teres minor
Anterior bundle of UCL stabilizes valgus stress in what degrees of motion?
30-90 degrees
When does posterior bundle of UCL tighten
Flexion
Elbow flexion with most supination strength
90 degrees
Distribution of load seen in radius vs ulna proximal and distal
Proximal: 60% radius, 40% ulna, distal 80% radius, 20% ulna
Diseases with positive ulnar variance
Ulnar abutment syndrome, TFCC tears and Medelung deformity
Disease with negative ulnar variance
Keinbock’s
Components of TFCC
Dorsal/volar radioulnar ligaments, articular disc, meniscus homologue, ECU subsheath
Proximal carpal row movement with radial deviation
Flexes, extends in ulnar deviation
Where does the lunate dislocate through
Space of Poirier, weak spot in volar wrist ligaments
VISI vs DISI
VISI seen in SL injury, DISI in SL injury
