Subacromial bursa

44
Q

Rotator cuff function

A

Glenohumeral joint stability

45
Q

Most commonly injured rotator cuff muscle

A

Supraspinatus

Occurs due to heavy lifting or catching falling object

46
Q

Supraspinatus rupture test

A

Drop arm test

Ask patient to lower arm from 90deg abduction. Failure to do so smoothly suggest supraspinatus tear

47
Q

Glenohumeral dislocation

A

Stability is sacrificed for mobility

48
Q

Types and frequency of glenohumeral dislocation

A

Anterior 95%
Posterior 5%

49
Q

Anterior glenohumeral dislocation

A

Anterior band of glenohumeral ligament tears and detaches labrum

Results in humeral head compression, injures axillary and radial nerves, compresses axillary artery

50
Q

Long head of biceps rupture cause

A

Chronic inflamation causes intrascapular portion of tendon to erode and rupture

51
Q

Boxers fracture

A

5th metacarpal

52
Q

Golfers wrist

A

Hairline fracture of hook of hamate. Causes pain/tenderness in palm/wrist

53
Q

Falls on outstreched hand by age

A

Youth: distal radial epiphysis broken
Adolescent: Clavicular fracture
Elderly: Colle’s fracture

54
Q

Colle’s fracture sign

A

Dinner fork deformity

55
Q

Scaphoid fracture

A

Often due to fall on outstretched hand

Pain in snuff box

Succeptible to avascular necrosis

Claire sucks at skateboarding

56
Q

Lunate FOOSH

A

Most common carpal dislocation

Can impinge on carpal tunnel and median nerve

57
Q

TERRIBLE TRIAD

A

Elbow injury:

Dislocation

Fracture of radial head

Avulsion of coronoid process

58
Q

Tommy John surgery procedure + risk

A

Reconstruction of torn ulnar collateral ligament

Risk to ulnar nerve as it passes posterior to median epicondyle

59
Q

Nursemaid’s Elbow

A

Yank of child’s arm tears annular ligament causing subluxation or dislocation

60
Q

Pulses grading scale

A

0- absent
1- weak
2- normal
3- increased
4- BOUNDING

the bitch on the trauma team screaming 2+ radial pulses

61
Q

Ligation of brachial artery

A

Greatly impaired blood flow to forearm and hand

62
Q

Ligation of brachial distal artery

A

Collateral channels around elbow maintain circulation

63
Q

Allen Test

A

Tests for ulnar/radial artery communication

Patient makes tight fist —> ulnar and radial arteries are compressed —> circulation should return with either artery being released.

64
Q

What should be preserved in case of axillary vein laceration or compression

A

Cephalic vein to continue blood flow

65
Q

Risk after axillary vein trauma

A

Air embolism

no bueno

66
Q

Avascular necrosis of scaphoid mechanism

A

Transverese fracture causes distal and proximal fragments to be separated

Artery enters distally so proximal side may not perfuse
