Week 3 Flashcards
What is an apophysis?
An apophysis is also a secondary ossification centre thought it does not contribute to an increase in length of the bone.
Define Valgus?
Valgus is the lateral deviation of a distal segment relative to the proximal segment.
Define Varus?
Varus is the medial deviation of a distal segment relative to the proximal segment.
What is the attachment for brachialis?
Ulnar tuberosity
What attaches to the redial tuberosity?
biceps brachii
What are the 3 separate articulations within the elbow joint capsule?
- humeroulnar joint
- radiohumeral joint
- proximal radioulnar joint
When is the elbow joint capsule at most ‘lax’?
80 degress
What is the articulation in the humeroulnar joint?
The trochlea of the humerus and the trochlea notch of the ulnar
What is the structural classification of the humeroulnar joint?
Synovial hinge joint
What movements does the humeroulnar joint do?
flexion and extension
What is the articulation at the radiohumeral joint?
Capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius articulate.
What is the structural classification of the radiohumeral joint?
synovial hinge joint
What movements does the radiohumeral joint do?
Flexion and extension
What is the articulation the proximal radioulnar joint?
Radial notch of the ulnar and the head of the radius articulate.
What is the structural classification of the proximal radioulnar joint?
Synovial pivot joint
What movements doe she proximal radioulnar joint do?
Supination and pronation
What are the 7 structures of the elbow joint complex?
- articular capsule
- radial collateral ligament (RCL)
- Lateral Ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL)
4, Medial collateral ligament - annular ligament
- oblique cord
- interosseous membrane
What does the articular capsule restrict?
Valgus in EXT
What does the radial collateral ligament restrict?
Varus
What does the lateral ulnar collateral ligament restrict?
Varus
What does the medial collateral ligament restrict?
valgus in EXT
What does the annular ligament restrict?
Lateral and distal sublimation of the radial head
