Ulnar Nerve
C8-T1
decresed biceps deep tendon reflex, inability to flex and supinate the forearm, and loss of sensation over the lateral forearm
musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7)
inability to flex the wrist,loss of sensation first three digits and half of the fourth digit.
Medial Nerve
c5-t1
innervates the supraspinatus muscle
-the first 15° of abduction of the arm.
suprascapular nerve
Feared complications of scaphoid bone fractures
- Avascular necrosis
- Nonunion of the scaphoid
- degenerative arthritis.
injury should be suspected when anatomic snuffbox tenderness is present.
- fall on an outstretched hand
scaphoid bone fractures
area bordered by the extensor pollicis longus, the extensor pollicis brevis, and the radial styloid.
anatomic snuffbox
largest bone in the proximal carpal row
scaphoid bone
Vascular watershed (scaphoid bone)
-Poor fracture healing environment
-High risk for malunion with appropriate intervention
(Blood supply:Dorsal carpal branch)
Pain with axial load through thumb
Scaphoid compression test
Patients with the I-pattern of blood supply in the lunate ->
are at the highest risk for AVN
crescent-shaped carpal bone in the proximal carpal row
Lunate bone
Preiser disease (no por trauma) *vascular or endocrine diseases most frequently
AVN of the scaphoid
**showing sclerosis and fragmentation of the proximal pole of the scaphoid
Ulnar claw
impaired extension of the fourth and fifth fingers
injury to the distal ulnar nerve
impaired extension of the fourth and fifth fingers -> Ulnar claw
injury to the distal ulnar nerve, which often occurs due to
fracture of the hook of the hamate
ulnar nerve comprises ______ nerve fibers
C8-T1
Injury to the proximal ulnar nerve due to->
Fracture of the medial epicondyle of the humerus (proximal injury)
the patient is able to make a fist (flex her fourth and fifth fingers) but is unable to extend them
The lesion in medial epicondyle of the humerus (proximal injury)
Loss of wrist extension (wrist drop)
midshaft fracture of the humerus
radial nerve injury
