Q

Humeral condyle allows for articulation with what?

A

Radius and Ulna

25
Q

What does the capitulum of the humerus articulate with?

A

Fovea of the radial head

26
Q

Why is the [GREATER TUBERCLE of the humerus] susceptible to avulsion (tearing).

A

It is susceptible to aversion by the

Supraspinatus M
Infraspinatus M aaaand
Teres Minor M

that insert there.

27
Q

Why do we get weird feeling when we hit our “funny-bone”.

A

Our ulnar nerve travels through the [groove for the ulnar n] on our humerus. When it is compressed in this groove, we get the funny bone feeling.

28
Q

How can we break out [medial humeral epicondyle]?

A

Severe abduction of our extended elbow.

29
Q

ulna: is the proximal or distal end bigger?

A

Proximal. Ulna head is SMALL.

This makes sense because the proximal of the radius is smaller.

30
Q

Is the ulnar head located proximal or distal?

A

Distal.

31
Q

Does the ulnar head articulate with the carpals?

A

No.

Articular discs at the radiocarpal joint prevent this.

32
Q

What is a fractured elbow?

A

When we fracture the [olecranon process] of the ulna.

Fractured elbows (olecranon processes) often occur because our tripceps brachii are very forceful.

33
Q

A fractured elbow is considered what kind of fracture?

A

Avulsion fracture.

It is difficult to fix.

34
Q

What is a Colle’s Fracture?

A

When we try to break our fall, often we can damage the distal end of our radius. In this process, the [styloid process of the ulna] is also broken.

35
Q

What kind of deformity can we see in Colle’s fracture?

A

“Dinner fork deformity”

36
Q

What is the bone below the thumb?

A

Trapezium

37
Q

What is the most commonly damaged carpal bone?

A

Scaphoid bone

38
Q

CN: Scaphoid fracture

A

The scaphoid is our most commonly damaged bone in our hand, because we often try to break out fall.

Often times, we cannot see it on a radiograph so it goes undiagnosed as a severe sprain. This is bad because the distal fragments of the bone will get cut off from their blood supply and undergo necrosis.

39
Q

Lateral boundary of our tunnel for carpal tunnel

A

Scaphoid tubercle

Tubercle of the trapezium

40
Q

Medial boundary of our tunnel for carpal tunnel

A

Hook of the hamate

Pisiform

41
Q

What is carpal tunnel

A

Carpal tunnel is a condition caused by the compression of the [MEDIAN NERVE] as it travels under the [TRANSVERSE CARPAL LIGAMENT: FLEXOR RETINACULUM]. Also traveling here are tendons of the

(flexor carpi radialis)
(flexor digitorum profundus)
(superficialis m).

When they swell, they can compress the median nerve, causing parasthesia and pain.

42
Q

How can we fix carpal tunne;

A

We can cut the [transverse carpal ligament], but they will will not be able to flex their arm as much?

43
Q

What is the guyon tunnel

A

Ulnar canal.

44
Q

The [GUYON TUNNEL/ULNAR CANAL] is located where?

A

The depression between our pisiform and hook of hamate.

Traveling in the guyon canal is the Ulnar N, which is susceptible to compression.

When it is compressed, we get loss of sensation and muscle weakness.

45
Q

How can we get compression of our ulnar nerve in our Guyon canal?

A

Cycling.

Thus, it is called a HANDLEBAR NEUROPATHY.

46
Q

CN: Boxers Fracture

A

When we punch, the 5th metacarpal is the most susceptible to fracture. This is called a Boxer’s fracture

47
Q

Boxers will often break what?

A

5th metacarpal

48
Q

How do we often fracture our distal phalanges?

A

Closing them in a door.

49
Q

Is it easy to realign bone fragments?

A

No.

Because of the intricate relationship with our [phalanges] and our [FLEXOR TENDONS], this must be done carefully to maintain function

50
Q

What are the 3 joints of the shoulder girdle?

A
  1. Sternoclavicular joint
  2. Acromioclavicular joint
  3. Glenohumeral joint
51
Q

Sternoclavicular joint

A

connects the sternal end of the clavicle to the manubrium of the sternum

52
Q

Acromioclavicular joint

A

connects the acromion of the scapula to the acromial end of the clavicle

53
Q

Glenohumal joint is what kind of joint?

A

Spheroid joint (ball and socket)

54
Q

Sternoclavicular joint contains what?

A

Articular disk of fibrocartilage

55
Q

Acromioclavicular joint contains what?

A

Articular disk of fibrocartilage

56
Q

What is special about glenohumeral joint

A

It is a ball and socket type of joint.

To better fit the ball into the glenoid cavity, the glenoid cavity has a ring of fibrocartilage around it called the Glenoid Labrum. It helps to deepen the space

57
Q

CN: Glenoid Labrum tears

A

The anterosuperior part of our glenoid labrum commonly tears when we throw a ball.

This is usually caused by a sudden contraction of the Biceps Brachii

58
Q

Glenoid labrum tears is commonly caused in sudden contraction of the __________.

A

Biceps brachii M.

Like when we throw a ball.

59
Q

What is the radiocarpal joint?

A

The radiocarpal joint is located in our wrist.

It connects the [radial articular surface for the carpal bones] with the [carpals]

In this joint, the ulna is blocked from attached by [ARTICULAR DISKS]
