where do flexors in the forearm come off of
medial epicondyle
where do extenders in the forearm come off of
lateral epicondyle
is lateral or medial epicondyle a bigger bump
medial epicondyle
what are the three fossas in the elbow
radial, coronoid, olecranon fossa
what muscle attaches to radial tuberosity
biceps brachii
is long head of tricepts bi or triarticular
tri
what attaches at the olecranon
triceps
missing degree of freedom for elbow
abduction and adduction
movements of elbow
flexion/extension
pronation/supination
normal carrying angle of the elbow
5-15 degrees (slightly out)
if carrying angle of elbow is >15 degrees when extended
cubitus valgus (makes an L) (deformity)
if carrying angle of elbow is <15 degrees when extended
cubitus varus (no L) (directed toward body instead of away)
carrying angle straightens out when…
pronating
three main ligaments in elbow
radial collateral (RCL)
ulnar collateral (UCL)
anular ligament of radius
what ligament resists elbow adduction and abduction
RCL and UCL
what elbow ligament is circular and what is its function
anular ligament of radius
keeps radial head in place
what three bands make up the UCL
anterior (cord) band
posterior (fan) band
oblique band
what ligament is superior to the anular ligament of the radius
radial collateral ligament
what is a tommy john surgery
surgery correcting a stretched out UCL (due to throwing)
drill holes into arm bones & put string/ synthetic ligament through them
names of “foosh” injuries regarding ulnar/radius
monteggia: ulnar fracture w radial head dislocation
galleazzi: radial fracture with distal radioulnar joint dislocation
how many joint capsules in the elbow
1
what does the brachial artery split into
radial and ulnar artery
parent structure for ulnar artery
brachial a
parent structure for radial artery
brachial a
what enervates muscles that flex elbow
musculocutaneous nerve
what enervates muscles that extend elbow
radial nerve
what bursae is found on the back of the elbow (3)
subtendinous bursa
intratendinous bursa
subcutaneous bursa
what three joints share the elbow joint capsula
humeroulnar joint
humeroradial joint
proximal radioulnar joint
main movement of humeroulnar joint
elbow flexion/extension
main movement of humeroradial joint
elbow flexion/ extension
what two joints make up the “elbow joint”
humeroulnar and humeroradial joints together
main movement of proximal radioulnar joint
pronation/supination of forearm
