the median nerve and either at the elbow or wrist

87
Q

why does scaphoid commonly fracture?

A

because it has a narrowed waist that makes it prone to fracture

88
Q

what is the problem with the blood supply entering the scaphoid distally?

A

if you get a fracture of the scaphoid then the proximal part of the scaphoid won’t have a blood supply –> get avascular necrosis

what direction does the palmer interosseis converge and the outcome of this?

A

tendons converge away from the axial line and therefore the digits converge towards the midline of 2,4,5

100
Q

what direction does the dorsal interosseis converge and outcome of thus?

A

they converge towards the axial line and therefore the digits move away from the midline –> 2 and 4

101
Q

what is the movement of the 3rd finger via which interosseis?

A

Bicep reflex
tricep reflex
brachioradalis reflex –> supinator reflex

120
Q

what happens in the upper reflex test?

A

the tendon tested is hit by a tendon hammer –> this will cause the muscle to stretch
Occurs by the stretch receptors in the muscle spindles detect this.
Send afferent fibres to the spinal cord and synapse with efferent fibres and cause muscle contraction.
