Q

What are the deficits of ulnar nerve palsy?

A

claw hand, hypothenar wasting and sensory deficit over the little finger

17
Q

What are the roots of the femoral nerve?

A

L2-L4

18
Q

What is the relation of the femoral nerve to the femoral artery?

A

Lateral

19
Q

What does the femoral nerve supply?

A

Quadriceps

20
Q

What are the roots of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve? And where is it located?

A

L2,L3. lies on the iliacus muscle, exits the pelvis under the lateral end of the inguinal ligament

21
Q

What is the function of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve?

A

sensory to the lateral aspect of the thigh, compression causes “meralgia paraesthetica”

22
Q

What are the roots of the Sciatic nerve?

A

L4-S3

23
Q

Where does the Sciatic nerve exit and what does it run deep to?

A

exits pelvis through sciatic foramen below piriformis muscle, running deep to the gluteus maximus . It is also the largest nerve in the body and the main branch of the sacral plexus (broad and flat with an accompanying artery)

24
Q

What does the sciatic nerve supply?

A

Hamstrings, adductor magnus and all lower leg and foot muscles via terminal branches

25
Q

How is the Sciatic nerve at risk?

A

Posterior dislocation of the hip, IM injections and during surgery

26
Q

What are the roots of the common fibular nerve?

A

L4-S2 (smaller and more lateral branch of the sciatic nerve, passes around the the lateral aspect of the neck of the fibula, divides into the superficial and deep fibular nerve, communicating branch to the sural nerve)

27
Q

What nerve is effected in anterior shoulder dislocation?

A

Axillary nerve

28
Q

Nerve effected in humeral shaft dislocation?

A

Radial nerve

29
Q

Nerve effected in hip dislocation

A

Sciatic nerve

30
Q

Nerve effected in humeral surgical neck fracture?

A

Axillary nerve

31
Q

Nerve effected in fibula fracture?

A

Peroneal nerve

32
Q

Nerve effected in cubital fossa syndrome

A

Ulnar nerve

33
Q

Nerve effected in knee disloaction

A

Peroneal nerve

34
Q

Nerve effected in elbow dislocation

A

Ulnar nerve

35
Q

What is the presentation of a axillary nerve palsy?

A

Parathesia over the badge area and weak abduction (due to deltoid denervation)

36
Q

Presentation of Ulnar palsy

A

Clawed hand

37
Q

Presentation of sciatic and peroneal palsies

A

Foot drop and high stepping gait

38
Q
