Session 9 Quiz Qs Flashcards
Which nerve lesion presents with flexion of the wrists and metacarpal phalangeal joints
High radial nerve lesion
Commonly caused by a mid-shaft humeral fracture
Parasthesia of the dorsal aspect of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd digits occurs in which nerve injury
High radial nerve injury
Which condition presents with hyperextension at the MCPJ and flexion and the PIPJ
High ulnar lesion
Most commonly related to medial epicondyle fracture of humerus
Which nerve injury is the most common complication of a supracondylar fracture of the distal humerus
Ulnar nerve
Which nerve lesion presents with hand of benediction (forearm supination)
High median nerve lesion (as it supports muscles of the thenar eminence and radial part of flexor digitorum profundus, so thumb and first 2 fingers cannot be bent)
Most common cause is supracondylar fracture of humerus
Which condition presents with pain over the lateral aspect of the proximal forearm and reduced ROM of elbow
Nursemaids elbow or pulled elbow
What is the common complication of an anterior elbow dislocation
Olecranon fracture
Olecranon process belongs to which bone
Ulna
Relationship between anatomical neck of humerus and surgical neck
Anatomical neck sits proximal to surgical neck
Coranoid process belongs to the
Ulna
What innervates anterior arm
Musculocutaneous
Where does long head of biceps brachii originate from
Infraglenoid tubercle
What is common site of origin for the superficial anterior compartment of muscles in forearm
Medial epicondyle of humerus
Anconeus muscle is considered an extension of which other muscle
Triceps brachii
Functions of extensor carpi radialis longus
Extension and abduction
To which phalanx of the fingers do the tendons of extensor digitorum attach
Proximal
Mneumonic for cubital fossa
Really need beer to be at my nicest
Dislocation is described in elbow based on
Position of radius and ulnar
At what joint does the biceps brachii perform supination
Proximal radioulnar joint
What osteological landmark forms lateral aspect of cubital tunnel
Olecranon
At posterior elbow where ulnar nerve runs between medial epicondyle and olecranon
radiological features of RA
LESS
loss of joint space
Erosion of bone
Soft tissue swelling
See through bones/osteopenia
Joint subluxation in fingers
how do you describe direction of elbow dislocation
based on placement of the radius/ulnar
