base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb

25
What is the proximal attachment of the Flexor Pollicis brevis?
Flexor Retinaculum Tubercles of scaphoid and Trapezium
26
Innvervation of the Flexor Pollicis Brevis ( Superficial Head) PLS REMEMBER THE NERVES TO THIS ONE
Superficial head: Median (recurrent branch) C8 and T1 Deep Head : Ulnar nerve (Deep branch) C8 and T1 Dual Innervations Lumbricals, DEEP FINGERS (flexor digitorum profundus), SHORT THUMB (Pollicis Brevis)
27
What is the muscle action of Opponens Pollicis
Opposes thumb, Draws 1st metacarpal towards palm and rotates it medially
28
What is the proximal attachment of the Opponens Pollicis
Flexor retinaculum and tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium (SAME AS THE Abductor Pollicis Brevis AND Flexor Pollicis Brevis)
29
What THREE MUSCLES attach to the tubercles of the Scaphoid, the Trapezium and the Flexor Retinaculum
Opponens Pollicis Abductor Pollicis Brevis Flexor Policis Brevis REMEMBER: The FAO of the thumb all has the same proximal attachment!!
30
What is the distal attachment of the Opponens Pollicis
1st metacarpal
31
What tendons are in the first compartment of the extensor retinaculum?
APL (Abductor Pollicis Longus) EPB (Extensor Pollicis Brevis) (remember apple peanutbutter)
32
What tendons are in synovial shealth 2?
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Longus TENNIS ELBOW (remember these are the 2 tennis elbow muscles, and they're both in comparment 2)
33
What tendons are in synovial sheath 3 of the extensor retinaculum.
Extensor Pollicis Longus (Remember listers tubercle, the tubercle used as a pulley for EPL)
34
What synovial sheaths of the Extensor Retinaculum make up the anatomical snuff box?
1 and 3
35
What is found in the 4th synoveal shealth?
EI and ED Extensor Digitorum and Extensor Indicis
36
What is in the synoveal sheath 5?
Extensor Digiti Minimi (think 5 for 5th digit)
37
What is in the 6th sheath of the extensor retinaculum
Extensor carpi ulnaris (think the muscle farthest from the thumb, because the thumb muscles occupies the first sheath)
38
The opponens digiti minimi originates from the _________ AND _______ inserts at the medial border of the __________
The opponens digiti minimi goes from the Flexor Retinaculum AND hook of the hamate to the medial border of the 5th metacarpal
39
The abductor digiti minimi goes from the ____________ to the _______________
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
What is the muscle action of the Extensor Indicis?
Extend the 2nd digit (MCP joint) May assist to extend the wrist
41
What is the proximal attachment of the Extensor Indicis?
Posterior ulna and interosseous membrane
42
What is the distal attachment of the extensor indicis?
Extensor expansion of 2nd digit
43
What thenar muscle is innervated by the Ulnar nerve?
Adductor Pollicis
44
What is the innervation of the Extensor Indicis?
Radial (PIN) C7 and C8
45
What is the proximal attachment of the Abductor Pollicis Longus
Posterior surface of the ulna, radius, and interosseous membrane
46
What is the distal attachment of the Abductor Pollicis Longus?
Base of the 1st metacarpal
47
What is the innervation of the abductor pollicis longus?
Radial Pin nerve, C7 C8
48
What is the proximal attachment of the extensor pollicis longus?
Posterior surface of the ulna and interosseus membrane rememeber: the longus comes from the ulna and the brevis comes from the radius
49
what is the proximal attachment of the extensor pollicis brevis?
posterior surface of the radius and interosseous membrane rememeber: the longus comes from the ulna and the brevis comes from the radius
50
What is the distal attachment of the extensor pollicis brevis
Base of the proximal phalanx of thumb Remember: the longus goes to the distal phalanx and the brevis goes to the proximal phalanx
51
What is the distal attachment of the extensor pollicis longus?
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
What is the muscle action of the extensor pollicis longus AND brevis?
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
What is the innervation of the extensor pollicis longus AND brevis
Radial PIN c7 c8
54
What is the proximal attachment of the adductor pollicis?
Oblique head: Base of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals, capitate, and adjacent carpals Transverse: shaft of the 3rd metacarpal
55
What is the distal attachment of the Adductor Pollicis
base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb
56
What is the innervation of the adductor pollicis
Ulnar Nerve c8 t1
