Week 3 Flashcards
Forearm bones, joints, and muscles
how can you differentiate between radius and ulna?
-the proximal end of the radius is thin and the distal end of the radius is thick
-the ulna starts off thin and continues thin
-the radius =thumb
-the ulna=pinky
-the radius is shorter than the ulna
Radius
- Head
- Neck
- Radial Tuberosity
- Radius
- Shaft
- Styloid process of radius
- Head of ulna in ulnar notch of radius
Ulna
- Olecranon
- Trochlear Notch
- Coronoid process
- Tuberosity of ulna
- Shaft
- Atricular circumference of head of ulna
- Styloid process of ulna
- Head of ulna in ulnar notch of radius
- Ulnar notch
- Groove for extensor digitorum and extensor indicis
- Dorsal tubercle of radius
- Groove for extensor pollicis longus
- Groove for extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis
- Grooves for tendons
- Distal radio-ulnar joint
Bones of WWrist and Hand
- Distal Phalanx
- Head of middle phalanx
- Head of proximal phalanx
- 5th metacarpal; head, tubercle, shaft, base
- Hook of hamate
- Pisiform
- Triquetrum
- Lunate
- Tubercle of scaphoid
- Tubercle of trapezium
- Trapezoid
- Capitate
- 1st metacarpal
- Head Shaft Base of thumb
- Scaphoid
Middle Radioulnar joint
Classification of Distal Radioulnar Joint
synovial, pivot
Articulating surfaces of Distal radioulnar joint
head of ulna to ulnar notch of radius and articular disc
Ligaments of distal radioulnar joint
anterior and posterior
Movements of distal radioulnar joint
supination and pronation
Innervation of distal radioulnar joint
median and radial
Fractures of the radius and ulna
Colles’ Fracture;
avulsed styloid process of ulna
dinner fork deformity
distal fragment of radius overrides the rest of the bone
Fractures of Ulna and Radius
Monteggia Fracture;
Radius-dislocated from its joint with the humerus
ulna-complete fracture just below the elbow
Fractures of ulna and radius
Galeazzi Fracture
Muscle compartments of the forarm
Anterior; Flexors, flexes wrist and fingers innervated by median or ulnar nerve
Posterior; Extensors, extends wrist and fingers, innervated by radial nerve
Anterior Compartment has 3 layers
Superficial, Intermediate, and deep
Superficial layer
- Pronator Teres
- Flexor Carpi Radialis
- Palmaris Longus
- Flexor carpi ulnaris
