23
Q

Hypothenar compartment innervated by

A

Ulnar nerve

24
Q

Central compartment nerve supply

A

Radial 2 lumbricals- median nerve

Ulnar 2 lumbricals- ulnar nerve

25
Q

What do lumbricals do

A

Link flexor digitorum profundus tendon on palmar surface to extensor digitorum tendon on dorsum

When they contract they flex the fingers at the MCPJ and extend at PIP

26
Q

Lumbricals to index and middle fingers are

A

Unipennate

27
Q

Lumbricals to ring and little fingers are

A

Bipennate

28
Q

2 groups of interossei

A

Dorsal and palmar

29
Q

Interossei actions

A

DAB (dorsal abduct)
PAD (palmar adduct)

Assist lumbricals in flexing MCPJs and extending IPJs

Ulnar nerve

30
Q

Central slip in RA causes

A

Boutonnière deformity

31
Q

FDP originates from

A

Proximal 2 thirds of shaft of ulna

Inserts into base of distal phalanx

32
Q

FDS originated from

A

Medial epicondyle of humerus and superior half of radius

Insert into base of middle phalanx

33
Q

Deep border of carpal tunnel

A

Carpal bones form concavity

34
Q

Supericial border of carpal tunnel

A

Flexor retinaculum

35
Q

Attachments of flexor retinaculum

A

Lateral- scaphoid, trapezium

Medial- hook of hamate, pisiform

36
Q

Structures passing through carpal tunnel

A

Flexor pollicis longus
Flexor digitorum superficialis tendons x4
Flexor digitorum profundus tendons x4
Median nerve

37
Q

Tendons of FDS through carpal tunnel

A

Middle and ring finger pas superficial to index and little finger

38
Q

What supplies sensation to the radial 2/3rds of palm

A

Palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve given off proximal to carpal tunnel

This is why sensation to the palm is unaffected

39
Q

What passes through Guyon’s canal

A

Ulnar nerve and artery

40
Q

Guyon’s canal location

A

Superficial to flexor retinaculum

Lateral to pisiform bone and hook of hamate

41
Q

Guyon’s canal roof

A

Palmar carpal ligament

42
Q

What is anatomical snuff box

A

Radial fossa- triangular depression on radial aspect of dorsum of hand at level of carpal bones

43
Q

Medial and lateral Borders of anatomical snuffbox

A

Lateral- tendons of abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis

Medial- tendon of extensor pollicis longus

44
Q

Proximal border, floor and roof of anatomical snuffbox

A

Proximal border- styloid process of radius
Floor- scaphoid and trapezium
Roof- skin

45
Q

Contents of anatomical snuffbox

A

Radial artery
Superficial branch of radial nerve
Cephalic vein

46
Q

Arterial supply of hand

A

Radial and ulnar artery via deep and superficial palmar arches

47
Q

Superficial palmar arch gives off

A

Common palmar digital arteries

Ulnar contributes mainly to superficial palmar arch so fingers

48
Q

Radial artery contributes mainly to

A

Deep palmar arch, blood supply of thumb and radial side of index finger

49
Q

3 branches of brachial plexus that supply hand

A

Median radial and ulnar

50
Q

Median and ulnar nerve arise from

A

Anterior brachial plexus - supply anterior forearm

51
Q

Radial nerve arises from the

A

Posterior divisions of the brachial plexus and therefore supplies the posterior compartment of the forearm

52
Q

ulnar nerve supplies

A

All intrinsic muscles of hand except LOAF

53
Q

What are LOAF and what supplies them

A

Median nerve

Lumbricals- lateral 2
Opponens pollicis
Abductor pollicis brevis
Flexor pollicis brevis (superficial head)

54
Q

Nerve supply to palm of hand is derived from the

A

Palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve

And palmar cutaneous branch of ulnar nerve

Palmar digital branches arise in palm

55
Q

How do you test for sensation in radial nerve

A

Dorsum of 1st web space

56
Q

How do you test for sensation in median nerve

A

Palmar surface of tip of index finger

57
Q

How do you test for sensation in ulnar nerve

A

Ulnar border of hand
