Olecranon/Radial Head and C/S Flashcards
what two bones make elbow joint?
humerus and ULNA
movement of elbow?
hinge
can have side to side
joints of elbow
proximal radial/ulnar joint
distal radial/ulnar joint (also involved in elbow movement)
humerus/ulnar joint
ulnar collateral ligament
tommy-john ligament
medial elbow pain
lateral ligaments of elbow?
annular ligament and RCL (radial collateral)
tennis elbow?
lateral epicondylitis
golf elbow?
medial epicondylitis
carrying angle
forearm vs. humerus
women have greater carrying angle **
increase carrying angle?
wrist adduction
decreased carrying angle?
wrist abduction
carrying angle greater than 15 degrees?
cubitus valgus
cubitus varus
small carrying angle
carrying angle in women?
10-15 degrees
carrying angle in men?
5 degrees
as olecranon of ulna abducts?
wrist adducts
as olecranon of ulna adducts?
wrist abducts
SD at elbow?
olecranon (ulnohumeral) somatic dysfunction
elbow abduction
medial glide
elbow adduction
lateral glide
main supinator of forearm?
biceps
also supinator
main pronator of forearm?
pronator teres and quadratus
with pronation of hand?
radial glides posterior
with supination of hand?
radial glides anterior
SAPP
supination anterior
pronation posterior
fall forward and brace with hands?
pronated
so you have posterior radial head SD
fall backward and brace with hands?
supinated
so you have anterior radial head SD
if wrist hurts?
look at the elbow
SD of wrist
normally involves small gliding motions of wrist
disfunction/fracture?
look 1 joint up and 1 joint down
SD of carpals?
usually seen in anterior or posterior glide of these joints
support of carpals?
anterior and posterior interosseous ligaments
motion of MCPS, PIP, DIPs
flexion and extension
abduction/adduction (MCPs)
most injuries to fingers?
involve compression
dysfunction of fingers?
usually in dorsal/ventral glide
1st CMC SD?
usually compression, strain, or sprain rather than pure somatic dysfunction
CMC joint SD?
usually compression component especially if both dorsal and ventral glide restriction
MCP and IP DS?
either AP glide, mediolateral glide, rotational glide
and almost always compression
