Q

ligaments of elbow joint

A

1. medial (ulnar) collateral ligament (MCL)
- anterior band –> strongest, provides valgus and anteroposterior stability
- posterior band
- oblique (transverse) band –> from ulna to ulna

2. lateral (radial) collateral ligamentous complex
- lateral (radial) collateral ligament (LCL) –> deep fibers: lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL)
- annular ligament
–> forms fibro-osseous ring that encircles the head of radius
–> flexibility to let radial head move pronation and supination

Q

nerve supply of proximal (superior) radioulnar joint

A
  1. radial (posterior interosseous)
  2. median
  3. musculocutaneous
17
Q

blood supply of proximal (superior) radioulnar joint

A
  1. profounda brachii (middle and radial collateral branches)
  2. radial recurrent (radial)
  3. interosseous recurrent (common interosseous)
18
Q

movements of proximal (superior) radioulnar joint

A

pronation/ supination

19
Q

muscles groups of proximal (superior) radioulnar joint

A

forearm pronators (pronatos teres, pronator quadratus)

forearm supinators (biceps brachii, supinator)

20
Q

proximal and distal attachment of pronator teres

ulnar and humeral head

A

proximal:
ulnar head: coronoid process
humeral head: medial epicondyle of humerus

distal:
middle of convexity of lateral surface of radius

21
Q

innervation of pronator teres

A

median nerve (C6,C7)

22
Q

main action of pronator teres

A

pronates and flexes forarm (at elbow)

23
Q

proximal and distal attachment of pronator quadratus

A

proximal:
distal 1/4 of anterior surface of ulna

distal:
distal 1/4 of anterior surface of radius

24
Q

innervation of pronator quadratus

A

anterior interosseous nerve, from median nerve (C8, T1)

25
Q

main action of pronator quadratus

A

pronates forearm; deep fibers bind radius and ulna together

26
Q

proximal and distal attachment of supinator

A

proximal:
- lateral epicondyle of humerus
- radial collateral and annular ligaments
- spinator fossa
- crest of ulna

distal:
- lateral, posterior, and anterior surfaces of proximal third of radius

27
Q

innervation of supinator

A

deep branch of radial nerve (C7,C8)

28
Q

main action of supinator

A
  • supinates forearm
  • rotates radius to turn palm anterior or superiorly (if elbow is flexed)
29
Q

boundaries of cubital fossa

superiorly, medially, laterally

A

superiorly: an imaginary line connecting the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus
medially: pronator teres
laterally: brachioradialis

30
Q

roof of cubital fossa

A
  • skin (and subcutaneous tissue)
  • medial cubital vein
  • bicipital aponeurosis
  • antebrachial fascia
31
Q

floor of cubital fossa

A

brachialis
supinator

32
Q

contents of cubital fossa

A
  • biceps brachii tendon
  • brachial artery (termination) and its
    branches
  • radial and ulnar arteries (commencement) and their branches
  • deep (accompanying) veins
  • median nerve
  • radial nerve (under brachioradialis)
