24
Q

what myotomes are involved in pronation and supinatin at the radioulnar joint?

A

pronation –> C7 and C8

supination –> C6

25
Q

what myotomes are involved in digital flexion and extension?

A

flexion –> C7 and mainly C8

Extension –> mainly C7 and C8

26
Q

what occurs in ebr’s palsy?

A

when there is excessive stretching of the neck of the child during child birth either by hands or forcep –> causes the damage to the upper nerve roots –> C5 and C6 nerve root

27
Q

what is the sensory deficit of ebr’s palsy?

A

sensory deficit around the elbow –> between dermatome C5 and 6 –> worse place affected as there is no sensory innervation at all

28
Q

what is the clinical signs of a baby with ebr’s palsy?

A 
waiters tip shoulder
adducted arm
pronated hand
medial rotation
extension of the elbow
29
Q

what functions are lost in erb’s palsy?

A

lost of abduction –> deltoid ( axillary nerve C5 and C6) and supraspinatour ( suprascaular nerve C5,C6)
loss of lateral rotation –> teres minor and infraspinatous
loss of supination and flexion of bicep brachii –> musculocutaneous get majority of its innervation by C5 and C6
same for the loss of flexion for brachialis

30
Q

how can a adult get erb’s palsy?

A

fall from a high level –> for example from a horse onto the head/neck region –> stretch the head and neck apart which leads to damage the brachial plexus

31
Q

how can you investigate if a adult has erb’s palsy?

A

MRI scan that shows the damaged nerve roots

32
Q

how is prognosis of erb’s palsy measured?

A

the extend of the damage affects the prognosis –> if only a small damage and the nerve parts have only been seperated a little bit then within few months should get some function back.
However if you have a big damage and there is large then the nerve will not be able to heal

33
Q

why is prognosis of nerve healing is poor when there is large damage?

A

nerves are poor at finding each other when there is a large gap –> take a bad root and therefore won’t heal and recover

34
Q

how is erb’s palsy treated if there is a large damage?

A

By a nerve transplant
In large damage the nerves will produce neuroma –> scaring–> connective tissue and nerves
so remove the neuroma and then replace it with sensory nerves harvested from somewehre else such as the calf or neck.
The movement of that limb be weaker than off the one taht is unaffected

35
Q

how does klumpke’s occur?

A

during child hood –> baby is pulled out by excessive pulling of the upper limb –> damage to the lower trunks of the brachial plexus –> C8 T1 –> ulnar nerve

36
Q

what is more common erb’s palsy or klumpke’s palsy?

A

eber’s palsy

37
Q

what muscles are paralysed in klumpker’s palsy?

A

most of the intrinsic muscles of the hand

38
Q

what can imbalance of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles due to klumpke’s cause?

A

deformity of the hand

39
Q

what does klumpker’s palsy cause?

A

ulnar claw

40
Q

what occurs in ulnar claw?

A

the paralysis of the lumbricals 3 and 4 –> hyperextension of the metacarpophalongeal joint and flexion of the interphalangeal joints –> do to no opposition of the lumbricals –> spontaneous so all the time

41
Q

how can a adult get klumpker’s palsy?

A

if the upper limb is suddenly pulled superiorly –> falling and grasp onto something

42
Q

how can you assess the prognosis of klumpker’s palsy?

A

like erb’s palsy you use a MRI scan to detect the nerve root damage and the prognosis again depends on how badly it has been damaged –> can take few months to heal or won’t heal at all.

43
Q

how common is the cubital tunnel syndrome?

A

it is the 2nd most common entrapment syndrome

44
Q

what is the cubital tunnel?

A

tendinous arch between the humeral and ulnar head of the flexor carpi ulnaris –> between the olecranon process and the medial epicondyle.

45
Q

what nerve is damaged in the cubital tunnel?

A

ulnar nerve

46
Q

what is the cause of the cubital tunnel syndrome?

A

constricting facial bands
occupational activities such as repetitive extension and flexion of the elbow
direct compression of the area

47
Q

what is the treatment and symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome?

A

symptoms same as the klumpker’s palsy but also elbow pain –> inflammation and sensitive to touch
treatment –> anti inflammatory and not resolved then surgery is required

48
Q

what palsy can cuae horners syndrome and why?

A

klumpker’s palsy because of the damage it does to T1 which supplies the sympathetic neurones to the face and also can be caused by traction

49
Q

what are the symtpoms of horners syndrome?

A

ptosis
miosis –> excessive constriction of the pupil
anhidrosis –> not able to produce sweat
vasodilation –> flushing

50
Q

what is radial nerve palsy? possible cause?

A

damage to the radial nerve in the spiral groove of humerus can cause wrist drop –> mid humeral shaft fracture

51
Q

what happens in radial nerve palsy?

A

the inability to extend the wrist or the metacarpalphalangeal joints due to paralysis of the extensor muscles of the forearm

52
Q

why is tricep weakend not paralysed by damage to the radial nerve at the radial groove?

A

it gives a branch to each head of the tricep. The branch to the long head is before the spiral groove so there is still some innervation to the triceps

53
Q

how is the median nerve damaged at the elbow?

A

by supracondylar fracture of pronator teres syndrome –> compression of median nerve in pronator teres

54
Q

what is the outcome of damage to median nerve?

A

hand of benidiction

55
Q

what muscles are affected by the syndrome of hand of benediction?

A

cannot flex digits 1 to 3

Thenar eminence, flexor pollicis longus, lumbricals 1 and 2, FDS and FDP

56
Q

when does hand of benediction occur?

A

when you ask the patient to make a fist

57
Q

what happens to digit 4 and 5 in hand of benediction?

A

can still flex but is weekend. It is supplied by the ulna nerve
