28
Q

What is the proximal attachment of the Opponens Pollicis

A

Flexor retinaculum and tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium

(SAME AS THE Abductor Pollicis Brevis AND Flexor Pollicis Brevis)

29
Q

What THREE MUSCLES attach to the tubercles of the Scaphoid, the Trapezium and the Flexor Retinaculum

A

Opponens Pollicis

Abductor Pollicis Brevis

Flexor Policis Brevis

REMEMBER: The FAO of the thumb all has the same proximal attachment!!

30
Q

What is the distal attachment of the Opponens Pollicis

A

1st metacarpal

31
Q

What tendons are in the first compartment of the extensor retinaculum?

A

APL (Abductor Pollicis Longus)

EPB (Extensor Pollicis Brevis)

(remember apple peanutbutter)

32
Q

What tendons are in synovial shealth 2?

A

Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Longus

TENNIS ELBOW (remember these are the 2 tennis elbow muscles, and they’re both in comparment 2)

33
Q

What tendons are in synovial sheath 3 of the extensor retinaculum.

A

Extensor Pollicis Longus

(Remember listers tubercle, the tubercle used as a pulley for EPL)

34
Q

What synovial sheaths of the Extensor Retinaculum make up the anatomical snuff box?

A

1 and 3

35
Q

What is found in the 4th synoveal shealth?

A

EI and ED

Extensor Digitorum

and Extensor Indicis

36
Q

What is in the synoveal sheath 5?

A

Extensor Digiti Minimi

(think 5 for 5th digit)

37
Q

What is in the 6th sheath of the extensor retinaculum

A

Extensor carpi ulnaris

(think the muscle farthest from the thumb, because the thumb muscles occupies the first sheath)

38
Q

The opponens digiti minimi originates from the _________ AND _______ inserts at the medial border of the __________

A

The opponens digiti minimi goes from the Flexor Retinaculum AND hook of the hamate to the medial border of the 5th metacarpal

39
Q

The abductor digiti minimi goes from the ____________ to the _______________

A

The abductor digiti minimi goes from the Pisiform to the base of the 5th proximal phalanx

(minimi starts at the pisiform (mini bone)
(remember the Pisiform is the smallest Carpal bone, and it get’s abducted)

40
Q

What is the muscle action of the Extensor Indicis?

A

Extend the 2nd digit (MCP joint)

May assist to extend the wrist

41
Q

What is the proximal attachment of the Extensor Indicis?

A

Posterior ulna and interosseous membrane

42
Q

What is the distal attachment of the extensor indicis?

A

Extensor expansion of 2nd digit

43
Q

What thenar muscle is innervated by the Ulnar nerve?

A

Adductor Pollicis

44
Q

What is the innervation of the Extensor Indicis?

A

Radial (PIN) C7 and C8

45
Q

What is the proximal attachment of the Abductor Pollicis Longus

A

Posterior surface of the ulna, radius, and interosseous membrane

46
Q

What is the distal attachment of the Abductor Pollicis Longus?

A

Base of the 1st metacarpal

47
Q

What is the innervation of the abductor pollicis longus?

A

Radial Pin nerve, C7 C8

48
Q

What is the proximal attachment of the extensor pollicis longus?

A

Posterior surface of the ulna and interosseus membrane

rememeber: the longus comes from the ulna and the brevis comes from the radius

49
Q

what is the proximal attachment of the extensor pollicis brevis?

A

posterior surface of the radius and interosseous membrane

rememeber: the longus comes from the ulna and the brevis comes from the radius

50
Q

What is the distal attachment of the extensor pollicis brevis

A

Base of the proximal phalanx of thumb

Remember: the longus goes to the distal phalanx and the brevis goes to the proximal phalanx

51
Q

What is the distal attachment of the extensor pollicis longus?

A

base of the distal phalanx of the thumb

Remember: the longus goes to the distal phalanx and the brevis goes to the proximal phalanx

52
Q

What is the muscle action of the extensor pollicis longus AND brevis?

A

Extend the thumb (IP joint), EPL only

Extend the thumb (MCP and CMC joints)

(Remember: Extensor Pollicis Brevis cannot extend the IP joint because it attaches to the base of the proximal metacarpal, not distal)

53
Q

What is the innervation of the extensor pollicis longus AND brevis

A

Radial PIN c7 c8

54
