MSK Anatomy/Physiology Flashcards
Anterior Draw Sign?
Bend knee at 90-degree angle=> increased anterior gliding of tibia due to ACL injury
Posterior Draw Sign?
Bend knee at 90-degree angle=> increased posterior gliding of tibia due to PCL injury
Abnormal passive abduction?
lateral (valgus) force=>medial space widening of tibia=>MCL injury.
Abnormal passive adduction?
medial (varus) force=> lateral space widening of tibia=>LCL injury
McMurray test? Medial vs Lateral Tear?
Pain, “popping” on external rotation
=>medial meniscal tear
Pain, “popping” on internal rotation
=>lateral meniscal tear
Unhappy triad
ACL, MCL, and Medial meniscus (attached to MCL)
Lateral meniscus more common
Which ones are the rotator cuff muscles? And their corresponding nerve
Supraspinatus-Suprascapular n.
Infraspinatus-Suprascapular n.
teres minor-Axillary n.
Subscapularis-subscapular n.
Supraspinatus Movement?
Abducts Arm
MC injured rotator cuff?
Supraspinatus
Rotator cuff muscle movements?
Supraspinatus-Abduction
Infraspinatus-Lateral rotation
teres Minor-Adduction and lateral rotation
Subscapularis-Adduction and medial rotation
A patient has acute carpal tunnel syndrome, what bone was displaced?
Lunate
Fall on the outstretched hand that damages hook of hamate can cause what injury?
Ulnar Nerve
MC fractured carpal bone?
Scaphoid
Carpal Tunnel vs Guyon Canal
Carpal Tunnel=>Median Nerve
Guyon Canal=>Ulnar nerve
Flattened deltoid
Loss of arm abduction at shoulder
Loss of sensation over deltoid muscle and lateral arm; What is cause of the injury? What nerve is involved?
Fractured surgical neck of humerus;
anterior dislocation of humerus
Axillary N. (C5-C6)
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
Loss of sensation over lateral forear; What is cause of the injury? What nerve is involved?
Upper trunk compression
Musculocutaneous N. (C5-C7)
Loss of elbow, wrist, and finger extension
Loss of grip strength
Loss of sensation over posterior arm and dorsal hand; What is cause of the injury? What nerve is involved?
Midshaft fracture of humerus; compression of axilla, e.g., due to crutches or sleeping with arm over chair (“Saturday night palsy”)
Radial (C5-T1)
