Posterior circumflex humeral artery

36
Q

Triangular interval contains…

A

Radial nerve
Profunda brachii artery

37
Q

Vasculature of shoulder/scapula

A

Thyrocervical trunk -> transverse or superficial cervical artery, suprascapular
Axillary artery
Brachial artery -> profunda brachii

38
Q

Axillary artery is divided by

A

Pectoralis minor!

39
Q

Axillary artery part one

A

Superior thoracic artery

40
Q

Axillary artery part 2

A

Thoracromial trunk, lateral thoracic artery

41
Q

What is buddy buddy with the lateral thoracic artery?

A

Long thoracic nerve

42
Q

Axillary artery part 3

A

Posterior circumflex humeral artery, anterior circumflex humeral artery, subscapular artery

43
Q

Ligation of axillary artery between the thyrocervical trunk and subscapular artery will maintain

A

Collateral bloodflow to the UE via the scapular collateral network

44
Q

Compression site for axillary artery

A

Anterior to teres major, proximal humerus

45
Q

Axillary vein laceration

A

The cephalic vein MUST BE preserved as it becomes the only vein returning blood to UE

46
Q

If penetrating trauma occurs on axillary vein, risk of

A

Air embolism

47
Q

Spinal nerves of axillary nerve

A

C5 - C6

48
Q

Fracture of surgical neck of humerus impacts

A

Axillary nerve, posterior circumflex humeral artery

49
Q

Nerve injured with shaft of humerus

A

Radial nerve

50
Q

Nerve injured with fracture with medial humeral epicondyle

A

Ulnar nerve

51
Q

What muscles are innervated by axillary nerve

A

Deltoid and teres minor

52
Q

What initiates abduction of arm?

A

Supraspinatus muscle

53
Q

A

Long head of biceps

54
Q

A

Clavicle

55
Q

Chief flexor/extensor of shoulder joint

A

Deltoid

56
Q

What can cause winged scapula?

A

Long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve, dorsal scapular nerve

57
Q

Risk of injury during clavicle fracture

A

Suprascapular VAN -> supraclavicular nerves, brachial plexus, subclavian vein

Q

Dorsal scapular nerve (C4-C5) injury causes

Q

Suprascapular nerve (C5-C6) injury

A

Injury at the suprascapular notch, clavicle fracture = weakness/atrophy of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles

A

• In danger during mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection or trauma to axilla
• Paralysis of latissimus dorsi - weakness in adduction/extension/medial rotation of humerus
