38
Q

What fibres are contained in the superficial branch of the radial nerve?

A

The superficial branch is purely sensory and distributed to skin on the dorsum of the hand. As it branches at the cubital fossa it runs deep to brachioradialis and enters the hand passing over the anatomical snuff box

39
Q

41
Q

What is B?

42
Q

Why is the arterial supplie of the posterior forearm complicated?

A

The arterial supply is complex network of arterial anastomosis including

  • The posterior interosseus artery arising from the ulnar artery
  • The recurrent interosseous artery – a branch of the above.
43
Q

What are some arteries of the posterior forearm?

A

Posterior interosseus artery

Recurrent interosseous artery

44
Q

What are the following branches of:

  • posterior interosseus artery
  • recurrent interosseous artery
A
  • Posterior interosseus artery is a branch of radial artery
  • Recurrent interosseous artery is a branch of posterior interosseus artery
45
Q

What exists of the dorsum of the hand to provide stability and a tunnel for the extensor tendons?

A

Extensor retinaculum

46
Q

What is A?

A

Extensor retinaculum

47
Q

What is a ganglion?

A

Non-tender cysts can grow on the synovial sheaths found on the back of the hand

These are often more inconvenient than functionally limiting and can be removed surgically

48
Q

What is a ganglion also called?

A

Synovial cyst

49
Q

Which of the cephalic and basilic vein in lateral and medial continuation of dorsal venous arch?

A

Medial - basilic vein

What are the boundaries of anatomical snuff box:

  • medial border
  • lateral border
  • floor

      • Most common
    • Smith’s fracture
      • Posterior displacement of the radius on the distal aspect of bone
      • Caused by falling onto flexed rwist, or by direct blow to forearm

  • presentation
  • complications
A
  • Aetiology

    • Malunion of bone
    • Avascular necrosis
65

What do the 4 extensor digitrum tendons flatten to form?

A

Extensor expansions

66
Q

What is each extensor expansion?

A

Each extensor expansion is a triangular tendinous aponeurosis that wraps around the dorsum and sides of the head of the metacarpal and base of the proximal phalanx.

A

Once distal to the proximal phalanx, a number of ligaments stabilise the extensor expansion. These include the tendinous fibres of the interossei and lumbrical muscles

75
Q

What are the main tendons that insert distally to the proximal phalanx?

A

The main tendons which insert distally are the middle and terminal conjoint tendons. The middle onto the base of the middle phalanx, and terminal onto the base of the distal phalanx respectively

76
Q
