Q

Which of the following structures articulate to form the proximal radioulnar joint?
Head of the ulna & ulnar notch of the radius
Head of the radius & the radial notch of the ulna
Distal end of the radius & articular disc with the proximal row of carpal bones

A

Head of the radius & the radial notch of the ulna

Explanation:
The proximal radioulnar joint is formed by the articulation between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. The distal radioulnar joint is formed by the articulation between the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch of the radius. The radiocarpal joint (wrist joint) is formed by the articulation of the carpal surfaces of the distal radius and the proximal row of carpal bones (excluding the pisiform).

Q

Which tendons are easily palpated as they cross the anterior aspect of the wrist? Select all that apply.
Flexor carpi radialis
Flexor digitorum profundus
Palmaris Longus
Pronator Teres
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris

A

Flexor Carpi Radialis
Palmaris Longus
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris

Explanation:
The four tendons that can be palpated when crossing the anterior aspect of the wrist include the (loving lateral to medial): flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), and the flexor carpi ulnaris. Pronator teres doesn’t cross the wrist and the tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus pass deep to the tendons of FDS.

A

Pronator Teres
Palmaris Longus

Explanation:
The muscles of the superficial layer of the anterior compartment include the (from lateral to medial at their points of origin): pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris. Pronator quadratus and FDP are contained in the deep layer, and FDS is contained in the intermediate layer of the anterior compartment of the forearm.

Q

Which of the following structures forms the lateral border of the cubital fossa?
Imaginary line between the epicondyles
Brachioradialis
Pronator Teres

A

Brachioradialis

Explanation
The lateral boundary of the cubital fossa is the brachioradialis. An imaginary line between the epicondyles forms the superior boundary and the pronator teres forms the medial boundary. The floor of the space is formed by brachialis & the supinator, and the roof is formed by fascia and skin.

Q

What structures travel through the cubital fossa? Select all that apply.

Proximal parts of the ulna and radial arteries
Biceps tendon

17
Q

Which of the following structures forms the medial boundary of the cubital tunnel?
Cubital retinaculum
Medial epicondyle
Olecranon

A

Median epicondyle

18
Q

True or False: The median nerve travels through the cubital tunnel.

A

False

Explanation:
The ulnar nerve travels from the arm to the forearm by passing through the cubital tunnel. The median nerve will travel from the arm to the forearm by passing through the cubital fossa.

19
Q

The median nerve travels between which two muscles in the anterior compartment of the forearm?
Pronator teres and flexor pollicis longus
Flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus
Flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus

A

Flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus

Explanation:
Upon leaving the cubital fossa, the median nerve will dive between the superficial and deep heads of the pronator teres muscle. It will then continue to course down the anterior aspect of the forearm between FDS and FDP.

20
Q

True or False: The median nerve gives off a deep branch called the anterior interosseous nerve.

A

True

21
Q

True or False: The ulnar nerve will provide motor innervation to the majority of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm.

A

False

Explanation:
The ulnar nerve provides only motor innervation to one and 1/2 muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm (flexor carpi ulnaris and 1/2 of flexor digitorum profundus). The median nerve (along with its deep branch) supplies the majority of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm.

22
Q

Which of the following nerves supply the skin of the anterior aspect of the forearm? Select all that apply
Medial antebrachial cutaneous
Ulnar
Median
Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous

A

Medial Antebrachial Cutaneous
Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous

23
Q

True or False: The common interosseous artery is a branch of the radial artery.

A

False

Explanation:
The common interosseous artery is a branch of the ulnar artery. It gives rise to the anterior and posterior interosseous arteries.

24
Q

True or False: The cubital anastomosis is formed by the branches of the brachial, ulnar and radial arteries.

A

True

25
Q

Which of the following arteries contributes to the formation of the cubital anastomosis? Select all that apply.
Ulnar collaterals (superior and inferior)
Radial and middle collaterals
Recurrent interosseous
Anterior interosseous
