Your patient has an unstable wrist as a result of a severe fracture. What impact will this have on the intrinsic hand muscles?
Group of answer choices
It will result in active insufficiency
It will result it passive insufficiency
It will result in unbalance length tension relationship
It will have no impact
It will have no impact
What is a main function of the triangular fibrocartilage complex?
Group of answer choices
To increase radial joint congruency
To allow full supination and pronation
To increase ulnar joint congruency
To limit excessive ulnar deviation during wrist extension
To increase ulnar joint congruency
Which of the following statements is true regarding the flexor carpi ulnaris:
Group of answer choices
It helps to stabilize the scaphoid during extremes of motion
It is important for enhancing precision grip
It can act as a substitute for the TFCC
It is the strongest of all the wrist muscles
It is the strongest of all the wrist muscles
Your patient presents with hypothenar wasting. This is likely due to:
Group of answer choices
Ulnar nerve compression
Ruptured flexor retinaculum
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Median nerve compression
Ulnar nerve compression
The extensor hood
Group of answer choices
Includes both intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
Is joined proximally to the adductor pollicis
Includes the MCP and PIP joints but not the DIP
Is important for preventing angular bends along the finger tendons
Includes both intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
Tenodesis…
Group of answer choices
Results in thumb and index finger approximation during wrist flexion
Is the increased ulnar deviation noted during forceful gripping activities
Is the result of passive tension of the finger flexors during wrist extension
Results in flexion at the MCP joints with extension at the PIP and DIP joints
Is the result of passive tension of the finger flexors during wrist extension
