Q

What does burst activity indicate in mechanical electromyography?
- sustained train?

A

burst = contacting nerve root (not bad)

sustained train = significant root traction

16
Q

where do lumbricals originate from

A

FDS

1/2-> innervated by median n
3/4 -> innervated by ulnar n

17
Q

distribution of pressure btw distal radius and ulna

  • ulnar neutral
  • ulnar postitive +2.5
  • ulnar neg - 2.5
A

neutral - 80/20
+2.5-> 60/40
-2.5-> 95/5

18
Q

structure that anchors the volar plate

order of release for flexion contracture

A

checkrein ligaments

checkrein-> volar plate-> proper collateral> extensor tendon tenolysis

19
Q

The only nerve in an extensor wrist compartment

A

PIN

4th

20
Q

Which tendon is usually pathological in trigger finger?

A

FDP

21
Q

Tendon typically used for opponnens plasty

A

EIP

22
Q

Cotton Loder position

  • position?
  • significance?
A

extreme flexion and ulnar deviation to hold DR reduction

can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome

23
Q

Factor most assoc with loss of reduction nonop Distal Radius

Pt factor assoc with worse outcomes re: DR fx

A

loss of reduction -> older ppl

Depression

24
Q

pressure injection material with highest likelihood of amputation

A

organic solvents

25
Q
  • ***Time from injury of Jersey finger when you need to do 2 stage revision
A

> 3mos

- b’c the pulleys scar down

26
Q

Dorsal DIP dislocation blocks to reduction

  • closed
  • open
A

closed-> volar plate

open -> FDP

27
Q

fix for lumbrical plus finger

A

release the lumbrical

28
Q

Duration of immbolization for scaphoid fx

A

distal- 3 mos
waist- 4 mos
proximal- 5mos

29
Q

Benefits of fixing non-displaced scaphoid

cost difference?

A

decrease time to union
earlier return to sport/work

no difference in cost

30
Q

Abx’s for infection from Leeches

A

Cipro
Bactrim 2nd liner

“Those leeches were Cipro’n on some Blood/Bactrim”

31
Q

most important fingers when it comes to salvage in amps

A

Thumb and MF

least so -> IF

32
Q

Most sensitive carpal tunnel clinical exam test

A

Durkans (compression to CT)

33
Q

Most important factor in nerve recovery after repair

A

Age (older is worse)

34
Q

What is the Leash of Henry

A

radial recurrent arteries

35
Q

Arcade of Frohse

A

supinator arch

36
Q

Most common location of PIN compression

A

Arcade of Frohse

37
Q

when does grip return after CTR

A

returns to proep level around 3 mos

120% by 6 mos
