Week 1 Anatomy Flashcards
what are the only intrinsic muscles of the back?
iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis
what are the superficial muscles of the back?
- trapezius 2. latissimus dorsi 3. levator scapulae 4. rhomboid major and rhomboid minor
what structure is shown/highlighted?
suboccipital triangle
*does NOT include the rectus capitus posterior minor, which sits right next to it.
What structure is usually injured in a rotator cuff injury
The supraspinatus muscle is the most frequently injured component of the rotator cuff muscles, and tears are the most common pathological finding.
The rotator cuff consists of tendons from 4 muscles: subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. They are fused with the capsule of the glenohumeral joint and play a major role in stabilizing the joint by holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during the movements of the scapula at the shoulder joint.
What spinal nerve travels between C7 and T1? What about C5 and 6?
C8 spinal nerve, which travels between C7 and T1. This is because there are only 7 cervical vertebrae.
Clinical Correlate: A herniated disc/herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) or an osteophyte between C5 and C6 compresses C6 spinal nerve.
knee radio
*recall that the short head of the TRICEPS runs along the humerus, but the long head of the BICEPS runs along the humerus and into the joint
what structure is shown
plantar aponeurosis
another view shown attached
what structure is the red arrow pointing to
flexor retinaculum
State each thing being pointed to
what/where is the pars interarticularis
what pathology is shown
scotty dog fracture ie spondylosis
*the collar of the dog is the fractured pars interarticularis
what structures are being pointed to
*recall that the C1 “spinous process” is called the posterior tubercle… It’s technically a “rudimentary spinous process”
name each thing
what pathology is shown
atlanto-axial instability secondary to loss of transverse ligament of the atlas.
High yield because of intubation procedures in downs syndrome and Rheumatoid arthritis
what pathology is shown
hangman’s fracture: bilateral fracture of the pars interarticularis of C2
Hangman’s fractures result from a hyperextension-compression injury typically occurring in an unrestrained occupant in a motor vehicle accident who strikes his forehead on the windshield.
what pathology is shown
Jefferson’s Fracture
▪A Jefferson’s fracture is a fracture of C1 usually involving both the anterior and posterior arches. In its classical presentation, there are bilateral fractures of both the anterior and posterior arches of C1 producing four fractures in all.
▪It is caused by an axial loading injury (such as diving into a swimming pool and hitting one’s head on the bottom).
. On conventional radiographs, the hallmark of a Jefferson fracture is bilateral, lateral offset of the lateral masses of C1 relative to C2 as seen on the open-mouth view (atlantoaxial view) of the cervical spine. The fracture is confirmed utilizing CT
what pathology is shown
burst fracture
(*don’t confuse with compression fracture, which is a height decrease but no retropulsion of bone)
Identify the hidden structures (ignore others)
median sacral crest
posterior sacral foramen
sacral hiatus
posterior sacral facets
the sacrum is ____ fused vertebra (#)
