Synopsis of surgical anatomy Dr.Sameh Doss Flashcards
To effectively review anatomy for the MRCS part A in a very short and easy way to save time
Discuss pectoralis major muscle
Discuss brachial artery
Where is the beginning of the brachial artery?
At the lower border of teres major muscle
What is the course of brachial artery?
(1)Its upper 1/2 lies medial to the humerus
(2)Its lower 1/2 lies in front of the humerus
Where does the brachial artery end?
(1)in the cubital fossa
(2)opposite(in front of)the radial neck
(3)by dividing into ulnar(the largest) and radial arteries
What are the branches of the brachial artery?
Discuss profunda brachii in relation to the brachial artery?
(1)1st and largest branch
(2)It runs with radial nerve in the spiral groove
(3)It ends by dividing into an ascending branch and two descending branches
Discuss superior ulnar collateral artery in relation to the brachial artery
Accompanies the ulnar nerve to the back of medial humeral epicondyle
(1)accompanies the ulnar nerve
(2)both lie to the back of (behind) the medial humeral epicondyle
Discuss inferior ulnar collateral artery in relation to the brachial artery
Descends in front of the medial epicondyle
What is the structure supplied by the nutrient artery?
Humerus
What are the nerves directly related to the humerus?
What is the effect of muscles attachment to the humerus on the displacement of fragments in humeral shaft fracture?
How do we perform surgical exposure to the humerus?
How do we perform surgical exposure to the upper 1/3rd of the humerus?
Incision along the deltopectoral groove
How do we perform surgical exposure to the lower 2/3rd of the humerus?
Incision along the medial or lateral intermuscular septum
