Ulna Flashcards
What muscle attaches to the superior surface of the olecranon
Triceps brachii
Which area on the ulna articulates with the head of the radius
Radial notch
What muscle attaches to the tuberosity of ulna
Brachialis
What muscle attaches to the anterior surface of the ulna
Pronator quadratus (distally)
What attaches to the interosseous border
Interosseous membrane
Where does the ulna articulate with the radius distally
Ulnar notch
Where is the most common site of an ulna fracture
Shaft
How is the proximal ulna displaced in an ulna shaft fracture
Posteriorly
What displacement is seen in an olecranon process fracture
Triceps brachii can displace part of the fragment proximally
What is Monteggia’s fracture
Proximal shaft of ulna fracture
Head of radius dislocates anteriorly at the elbow
Usually caused by force from behind the ulna
What is Galeazzi’s fracture
Distal radius fracture
Ulna head dislocating at the distal radio-ulnar joint
