flex at metacarpal phalangeal joints
extend at PIP and DIP joints

101

A

deep ulnar nerve also

103

Q

what innervates the flexor digitorum profundus?

A

medially- deep ulnar nerve

laterally- median nerve

106
Q

what does the lumbricals do?

A

they create lumbrical grip

107
Q

what is the lumbrical grip?

A

with the action of dorsal/palmar interossie and lumbricals they
flex MCP
extension PIP and DIP

108
Q

what is lumbrical grip used in clinically?

A

percussion of the internal organs

109
Q

what are the extrinsic muscles of the palmar hand?

A

Flexor digitorum superficialis
and
Flexor digitorum profundus

110
Q

How are they FDS and FDP traveling in the hand?

A

in the same synovial sheath

111
Q

how is the the synovial sheath layed out?

A

in the digits 2-5 share the same. and digit 1 has its own. therefore it can communicate an infection in the same synovial sheath

112
Q

what are the two ligament like structures that cover the extrinsic finger muscles?

A

tethers the FDS and FDP tethered to the digits by annular and cruciform pulleys

113
Q

how many annular and cruciform pulleys are there?

A

3- cruciform pulley

5- annular pulley

114
Q

what is the function of the pulley system in the fingers?

A

prevents bow-stringing by holding the tendons in place and displacing the force to a different location.

115
Q

What is the trigger finger?

A

an issue with a finger pulley, and the tendon gets stuck in the pulley. fixed by cutting the pulley that is affecting the tendon. most effected is a3 or a4

116
Q

what is the campers chiasm?

A

flexor digitorum superficialis tendon becomes deep to attach to bone while flexor digitorum profundus tendon is now more superifical due to it continuing to the distal phalangi.

117
Q

what does the FDS tendon do in the middle phalange?

A

split and insert on the middle phalange bone

118
Q

what does the FDP tendon do in the finger distally?

A

attaches to the distal portion of the distal phalange becoming more superfiicial to FDS by default

119
Q

what are the extensor muscles of the phalanges?

A 
extensor digitorum
extensor digiti minimi
extensor indicies
lumbercles
dorsal/palmar interossie
120
Q

How does the finger extension occur?

A

Extensor hood-

121
Q

How does the extensor hood work?

A

a central tendon from the inserts just distal to the PIP. emerging from the central tendon two lateral bands(from each side of middle phalange loops and meets at the Distal phalange) looks like leaflet of a branch

122
Q

what forms the central tendon originate from? HINT: muscles

A

extensor indicie
extensor digitorum
extensor digiti minimi

123
Q

what are the three groups of muscles that are in the lateral band of the extensor hood?

A

dorsal interossie
palmar interossie
lumbricals

124
Q

what happens when the lateral bands are under tensions?

A

the IP joints extend

125
Q

how does the lumbricals, DI, and PI orient prior the metacarpal- phalangeal joint , at MCP joint, and post the MCP joint?

A

prior- is in the palmar side
at MCP joint- it begins to cross posteriorly
post- it now becomes posterior

126
Q

due to the extensor hood and the three anterior finger muscles (lumbrical, Dorsal interossie, palmar interossie) what action does it cause

A

since at the MCP joint these muscles goes from anterior to dorsal side. its action is flexion at MCP joint and extension past the MCP joint

127
Q

what is the important nerve for digit extension?

A

Deep ulnar nerve because it innervates the Dorsal interossie, palmar interossie, and the two medial lumbricles

dorsal interossie
palmar interossie
two medial lumbricles

130
Q

what makes the hand do lumbricle grip. then to full extension.

A

the intrinsic muscles: DI, PI, and 2 Med. lumbricles bring the fingers to lumbricle grip position. then for full extension you need the extensor digitorum

131
Q

Thoracic Outlet?

A

compression of brachial plexus/axillary artery/subclavian artery as it emerges. either by scalenes (roots), by clavicle, pectoralis minor

132
Q

Pronator teres syndrome?

A

compression of median nerve by pronator teres

133
Q

Cubital tunnel syndrome?

A

compression of ulnar nerve- palmar/dorsal of lateral hand

134
Q

Radial Tunnel syndrome

A

anterior portion of lateral epicondyle. loss of sensation of dorsal lateral hand. loss/weak motor of all extensors

135
Q

what will result form pronator teres syndrome?

A

loss of motor skill to flexion of the wrist, some pronation loss, loss of sensation of lateral aspect of the palm/finger and tips of the fingers, and weakness in thernar eminence

136
Q

Carpal tunnel syndrome?

A

compression of median nerve

137
Q

what results of carpal tunnel syndrome?

A

no motor issues on the wrist. weakness of thenar eminence due to reoccurant nerve. parasthesia of just the digits. palmar sparing aka palm is okay.

138
Q

prolonged medial nerve damage results in what?

A

ape hand- flattening of thenar eminence. due to the reoccurant median nerve being atrophied

139
Q

where will cubital tunnel syndrome person complain of?

A

complain of parathysia palmar and dorsal aspect of the medial hand.

140
Q

what muscles are effected by carpal tunnel syndrome?

A 
(medial) flexor digitorum profundus
flexor carpi ulnaris
medial 2 lumbricles
DI
PI
muscles of the hypothenar eminence
141
Q

how does cubital tunnel syndrome differ from damage at the level of guyons canal?

A

palmar/ dorsal cutaneous aspect of the ulnar nerve, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor carpi ulnaris not effected. parathysia of 4th and 5th digit (medial)

142
Q

Posterior interosseous syndrome?

A

emerges at the level of supinator. with purely motor related. motor of all extensors

143
Q

Sign of Benediction?

A

long median nerve compression. results in flat thenar eminence and more. with digits 1, 2, 3 locked in extension due to not being able to flex (flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor pollicus longus, all the thenar eminence). not effecting the digits 4 and 5 due to being only by the ulnar nerve

144
Q

Ulnar claw?

A

long ulnar nerve lesion. results in hyper extension at the MCP of digits 2-5 and complete Interphalangeal flexion at digits 4-5 and partial interphalangeal flexion at 2-3 digits. doesn’t effect 1st digit (bc its related to median nerve)

145
Q

what muscles are effected in ulnar claw?

A

median lumbricles, DI, PI

146
Q

why does ulnar claw result in hyper extension at MCP?

A

bc extensor digitorum does reach the distal phalanges

147
Q

Full claw hand?

A

both median and ulnar nerve are damaged

148
Q

what does the hand look like in full claw hand?

A

1st digit is locked in extension and abduction. MCP is locked in extension. IP are locked in flexion

149
Q

Erb’s and Klumpke’s Palsy

A

seen most to infant at birth due to the pull of brachial plexus (roots/trunks). also occurs in adults in severe trauma to the neck/axillary area. Erb’s(C5, C6, maybe C7) Klumpke’s (C8, T1)

150
Q

If C5 is involved where would you see weakness and parathysia?

A

parathysia- lateral shoulder

weakness- shoulder abduction

151
Q

If C6 is involved where would you see weakness and parathysia?

A

parathysia- lateral forearm into the thumb

weakness- elbow flexion and wrist extension

152
Q

If C7 is involved where would you see weakness and parathysia?

A

parathysia- midline of UE to the 3rd digit

motor- elbow extension and wrist flexion

153
Q

If C8 is involved where would you see weakness and parathysia?

A

motor- extension of the thumb

parathysia- medial hand and forearm

154
Q

If T1 is involved where would you see weakness and parathysia?

A

motor- intrinsic of the hand(abd, add, and some flexion)

parathysia- at the level of the cubital fossa
