Olecranon fracture

What is the supracondylar region?

What group of people are supracondylar fractures common in?

Region above the medial and lateral epicondyles in elbow

* Children

Which part of the elbow is commonly affected by bursitis?

Olecranon bursa

Ligaments of the elbow? (3)

* Medial collateral ligamanets

* Lateral collateral ligament

* Annular ligament

Why is the lateral epicondyle of the humerus significant? What is it susceptible to?

site of insertion for all of the extensor muscles of the forearm \* Susceptible to enthesiopathies i.e. tennis elbow

Why is the medial epicondyle of the humerus significant? What is it susceptible to?

site of insertion for all of the flexor muscles of the forearm \* susceptible to enthesiopathies i.e. golfers elbow

Do not get confused between radial styloid (wrist) and radial head (elbow)

...

What is the function of the triangular fibrocartilage complex in the hand? (2)

Shock absorption and lubricating function

Distal radius fracture also known as?

Colles fracture

Blood supply to scaphoid?

Scaphoid has retorgrade blood supply (meaning it is suceptible to AVN - same reason why femoral head is susceptible to AVN) \*

What is unusual about the healing of scaphoid fractures?

The more distal the fracture is, the more likely it is to heal (usually the opposite for most fractures) - due to unusual retrograde blood supply

Scaphoid fracture

Thumb does not have an intermediate phalynx

Thenar muscles function? What are they? (3) Innervation?

Move the thumb \* Opponens pollicis \* Flexor pollicus brevis \* Abductor pollicus brevis Inervation = median nerve

...

Hypothenar muscle function? What are they? (3) Innervation?

Move pinky \* Abductor digiti minimi \* Opponens digiti minimi \* Flexor digiti minimi brevis Innervation = ulnar nerve

Interossei muscle function? Innervation?

ALL flex MCPs and extend IPs Individual functions = DAB and PAD \* Dorsal interossei (x4) - Abduct fingers \* Palmar interossei (x3) - adduct fingers Innervation = ulnar nerve

Lumbricals function? Innervation?

Lumbricals (x4) = one for each finger, finger movement \* Innervation = lateral 2 (median nerve), medial 2 (ulnar nerve)

Flexor digitorium superficialis function? Innervation? What does it pass thru?

Flexes fingers at PIPs \* Innervation = median nerve \* Passes thru carpal tunnel

Flexor digitorum profundus function? Innervation? Passes thru?

Flexes fingers at DIPs \* Innervation: 2nd + 3rd digits = median nerve, 4th and 5th = ulnar nerve \* passes thru carpal tunnel

Pulley system of hand? What are they susceptible to?

Annular ligaments (A1 - A5) \* A2 and A4 most important (prevent bowstringing) \* A1 most commonly involved in trigger finger Cruciate pulleys (x3 - cross shaped) \* prevent sheath collapse during motion **susceptible to triggering**

Function of palmar fascia? Susceptible to? (2)

Seperates palmar muscle bellies and flexor tendons from skin \* Susceptible to hypertophy and fibrosis (**Dupuytren's**)

Blood supply to hand? Digits?

Radial artery + ulnar artery \* Radial digital artery + ulnar digital artery (named after **side of the digit** not the artery they come from)

Peripheral nerves of hand? (3) What do they supply? Diagram

Median, ulnar + radial nerves \* Suppply extrinsic/intrinsic muscles of hand + give cutaneous sensation

Median nerve supplies? (2) Tests? (2)

Muscular supply \* Flexors of forearm \* LOAF muscles (Lateral lumbricals, opponens pollicus, abductor pollicus brevis, flexor pollicus brevis) \* TEST = abductor pollicus brevis Cutaneous sensation \* Radial 3.5 digits \* TEST = tip of index finger + base of thenar muscles
