Week 1 Lecture Flashcards
List the muscles in the superficial compartment of the arm (5)
- Pronator teres
- Flexor Carpi Radialis
- Palmaris Longus
- Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
- Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
List the muscles in the deep layer of the forearm (3)
- Flexor Pollicus Longus
- Flexor Digitorum Profundus
- Pronator Quadratus
What is ‘Trigger Finger’
Insidious onset of a Nodule in flexor tendon - this nodule gets caught as it passes through the pulley (fibrous bands) and prevents extension
At what ‘Pulley” does trigger finger commonly occur?
A1 - at the MCP
List four common wrist/forearm injuries/conditions related to the extensor tendon compartment
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
- EPL rupture
- EDM Rupture
- Subluxation of ECU
What is extensor expansion
The input of the Interossei muscles, which aids the ED in middle and distal phalanx extension
What two muscle tendons are involved in De Quervains Tenosynovitis
- EPB
2. APL
Two Special tests for De Quervains Tenosynovitis
- Finklesteins
2. WHAT
3 special tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tinels sign
- Phalens test
- Reverse Phalens test
Special test for the ulnar nerve
Fromonts sign
What is a Galleazi fracture
An isolated fracture of the junction of the distal or middle third of the radius, with associated subluxation or dislocation if the distal radio-ulna joint
