PTM - 3 Flashcards
Which ribs are atypical
1, 2, 10, 11, 12
1- short and wide, single facet, scalene tubercle
2- thin, long, tuberosity for serratus anterior
10, single facet head
11, 12 single facet, no neck

Lymph drainage of breast
Axillary
Parasternal
Posterior intercostal
Diaphragm origin and insertion
Origin: xiphoid, inner surface of lower 6 ribs
Insertion: Left crus on to L2, Right crus on to L3
Blood supply to spinal cord
Anterior spinal a (vertebral arteries)
Posterior spinal arteries (posterior inferior cerebellar arteries)
Anastamose at conus medullaris
Also segmental arterial supply from radicular arteries (Adamkiewicz)
Where does artery of Adamkiewicz originate from
T8 to L1 on the left of aorta
Could be damaged in AAA repair
Brown sequard cause
Result of hemisection of spinal cord ?direct trauma
Brown sequard syndrome sx
Ipsilaterall weakness, vibration and proprioception loss
Contralateral pain and temp
90% ambulatory by the end of recovery period
Central cord syndrome cause
hyperextension injury especially in elderly with background of degenerative changes such as osteophytes
Compression of spinal cord between lig flavum and intervertebral disc
Central cord syndrome sx
Upper limb weakness worse than lower limb as motor fibres run more centrally within the corticospinal tract
Good recovery
Anterior cord syndrome cause
interruption of blood supply to anterior spinal cord (anterior spinal artery)
How many vertebral bodies are there
33
7 C
12 T
5 L
5 fused sacral
3 fused cocygeal
Sx of anterior spinal cord syndrome
Loss of corticospinal and spinothalamic
Dorsal column unaffected
Lower limb worse than upper limb
10-20 % make recovery
How many vertebral bodies are there
33
7 C
12 T
5 L
5 fused sacral
3 fused cocygeal
Attachments of hip capsule
Proximally: acetabulum
Distally: anterior to intertrochanteric line, posterior 1cm above intertrochanteric crest
