what spinal cord segments are the rotator cuff muscles innervated by?
C5-C6
what are the rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
teres minor
subscapularis
what is the most common rotator cuff injury
supraspinatus
What rotator cuff muscle is injured in a pitching injury and what nerve innervates this muscle
infraspinatus muscle
suprascapular nerve
supraspinatus muscle action
abducts arm initially (then deltoid abducts)
infraspinatus muscle action
laterally rotates arm
teres minor muscle action
adducts and laterally rotates
subscapularis muscle action
medially rotates arm and adducts arm
empty/cull can test
supraspinatus
supraspinatus is innervated by:
suprascapular nerve
infraspinatus is innervated by
suprascapular nerve
teres minor is innervated by
axillary nerve
subscapular muscle is innervated by
upper and lower subscapular nerves
repetitive flexion of elbow
golfers elbow = medial epicondylitis
repetitive extension of elbow
tennis elbow = lateral epicondylitis
golfers elbow
medial epicondylitis - forehand shots = flexion
tennis elbow
lateral epicondylitis - backhand shots = extension
most commonly fractured carpal bone
scaphoid
what wrist bone is prone to avascular necrosis?
scaphoid
why is the scaphoid bone prone to avascular necrosis?
retrograde blood supply from radial artery
A fall on an outstretched hand that damages the hook of the hamate can cause what nerve injury?
ulnar
ulnar nerve injury can be caused by injuring what bone?
hook of the hamage
dislocation of what bone can cause acute carpal tunnel?
dislocation of lunate
guyon canal syndrome is compression of what nerve?
ulnar nerve in write or hand
what four states is carpal tunnel associated with?
pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, repeated use
what nerve is carpal tunnel associatd with
median nerve
what ligament encloses carpal tunnel
transverse carpal ligament
what entrapment is seen in cyclists and why
ulnar nerve - guyon canal syndrome = due to pressure from handlebars
fracturing the surgical neck of the humerus can damage what nerve
axillary
anterior dislocation of humerus can cause damage of what nerve
axillary

C5-C6
Flattened deltoid
axillary nerve injury
Axillary nerve is associated with what muscle
deltoid
Loss of arm abduction at shoulder > 15 degrees is a finding in what nerve injury
axillary
loss of sensation over deltoid muscle and lateral arm

musculocutaneous
Radial nerve is associated with what spinal nerves
C5-T1
Midshaft fracture of humerus
radial nerve injury
compression of axilla - crutches, sleeping with arm over chair
radial nerve injury
radial head subluxation (nursemaids elbow) is an injury where and damages what nerve
lateral epicondyle, can damage radial nerve
loss of elbow, wrist and finger extension (WRIST DROP)
RADIAL NERVE
loss of sensation over posterior arm / forearm and dorsal hand
radial arm
decreased grip strength
radial nerve
radial nerve is associated with what muscles
wrist extensors
supracondylar fracture of humerus
median nerve injury
