What does the superficial branch of the radial nerve innervate?

A

it is a sensory nerve to the hand

88
Q

Does the superficial branch of the radial nerve do anything before it reaches the hand?

A

NO, it only gives cutaneous innervation to the hand

89
Q

If you damage the radial nerve high in the arm what will it cause?

A

wrist drop, weak or absent wrist and digit extension and no extension at the elbow, and lack of grip strength (due to lack of ability to extend your wrist)

90
Q

If you damage to the radial nerve in the forearm what will happen?

A

have problems with wrist, digit extension and grip strength

91
Q

What is the easiest way to get radial nerve damage?

A

mid humeral shaft fracture

92
Q

What is the motor branches to the anterior arm?

A

musculocutaneous nerve

93
Q

How does the musculocutaneous nerve give cutaneous innervation to the forearm?

A

the musculocutaneous nerve gives off the lateral antebrachial cutaneous branch that gives innervation to the lateral forearm

94
Q

What does the median nerve do in the arm?

What does the median nerve do in the forearm?

A

Nothing

innervates all muscles except flexor carpi ulnaris and half of flexor digitorum profundus

95
Q

What does the median nerve do in the hand?

A

MOTOR innervation to the 2LOAF
2 lumbricals
thenar compartment (abductor policis brevis, oppnenens policis, flexor policis brevis)

96
Q

How does the median nerve give cutaneous innervation?

A

it gives it in the 3 1/2 digits
(3 and 1/2 digits and most of palm on anterior side)
top half of 3 1/2 digits on the posterior side

97
Q

What supplies muscular branches to all anterior forearm compartment muscles except flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial two heads of FDP?

A

Median nerve

98
Q

The motor innervation to the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial two heads of FDP is innervated by the (blank) nerve.

A

ulnar nerve

99
Q

What does the median nerve supply with motor innervation in the hand?

A

thenar compartment muscles and lumbricals to digits 2 and 3

100
Q

What gives cutaneous innervation to the palm and three and 1/2 digits (radial side) on the palmar surface and the top halves of the 3 1/2 digits (radial side) on the posterior part of the hand?

A

Median nerve

101
Q

Damage at the elbow results in the (blank)

A

hand of benediction

102
Q

If you get damage to your median nerve what will your hand look like?

A

You will lose all flexion to pip and dip of 2+3 but not complete for 4+5 and get derotated thumb
(i.e hand of benediction)

103
Q

How do you get carpal tunnel?

A

you compress the median nerve in your wrist

104
Q

So tell me what you look like if you have carpal tunnel?

A

you will have a jacked up thumb (derotated) and muscle wasting of your thumb. and decreased flexion of your lumbricals (3 1/2)

105
Q

What does the ulnar nerve do in the hand?

A

it innervates all muscles except for the thenar compartment and half the lumrbicals

106
Q

What cutaneous innervation does the ulnar nerve supply?

A

gives cutaneous innervation to 1 1/2 digits (vertically split)

107
Q

What does the ulnar nerve do in the arm?

A

nothing

108
Q

What is the most likely way you will get ulnar nerve damage?

A

at the elbow by damaging medial epicondyle OR in guyon’s canal

109
Q

If you get ulnar nerve damage what will your hand look like?

A

claw hand
Lose ALL interossei resulting in hyperextension at MP joints which causes flexion of fingers.
(but 14,5 are really affected)

110
Q

At what joint do the interossei mostly work at?

A

the MP joint (typically flex MP joint)

111
Q

Following tendon and ligament injuries, the hand takes on distinctive positions due to:
(blank, blank, and blank)

A

loss of movement
unopposed pulls
shifted axes

112
Q

What kind of injury will you get if you tear the FDP off the distal phalanx?

A

jersey finger

113
Q

How do you know if you have a FDP problem?

A

they cannot flex their DIP will holding their MP or PIP

114
Q

How do you know if you have a FDS problem?

A

pull back all their fingers except affected on and see if they can flex the affected one, if they have a problem they wont be able to do this

Q

How do you get a mallet finger?

A

Injury to the joint extensor tendon at the distal interphalangeal joint
(break lateral band)

ligaments

150
Q

What is the most common ligament?

ligament then little space and then joint capsule

152
Q

What is an intrascapular ligament?

A

ligament within the capsule that is not subject to synovial fluid of capsule

153
Q

The (blank) ligaments are the reason why the clavicle breaks where it does. Without these ligaments AC separations would be more frequent.

A

coracoclavicular ligaments

154
Q

(blank) forms roof of glenohumeral joint and helps stabilize shoulder joint

A

coracoacromial ligament

155
Q

(blank) ligament forms capsule of shoulder joint anteriorly and is strengthened by the tendons of the rotator cuff.

A

glenohumeral joint

156
Q

The (blank) is an inherently unstable joint.

A

glenohumeral joint

157
Q

The (blank) joint allows gliding movement when you elevate or depress the clavicle.

A

AC

158
Q

(blank) is a continuous ring of cartilage around the glenoid fossa that helps deepen the socket but is unfortunately easy to rip off.

A

glenoid labrum

159
Q

Why is the glenoid labrum easily ripped off?

A

cuz the long head of the bicep attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle which can pull at the glenoid labrum, so a tear in the bicep can tear this.

160
Q

What surrounds the tendon of the bicipital long head as it emerges from the glenohumeral joint capsule between the lesser and greater tubercle?
What is special about this?

A

a bursa

common site of bursitis AKA bicipital tenosynovitis

161
Q

Are there any tendons inferiorly of the glenohumeral cavity?

A

no, that is why you most often have a tear that is inferior and anterior

162
Q

What are the rotator cuff muscles and what are they used for?

A

stability of GH joint
Supraspinatus (innervated by supraspinatus nerve)
infraspinatus (innervated by supraspinatus nerve)
teres minor (axillary nerve)
subscapularis (upper and lower subscapular nerve)

163
Q

How do you get shoulder dislocation?

A

trauma to GH
rotator cuff tear/trauma
happens when you have abduction or extension

164
Q

How do you get shoulder separation?

A

injury to the AC joint and coracoclavicular ligaments

167
Q

What happens at the proximal radioulnar articulation?

A

pronation and supination of forearm

168
Q

Describe the elbow joint

A

its baggy on anterior and posterior aspects to facilitate flexion and extension

169
Q

What side of the humerus is the capitulum on?

A

it is on the anterior part near the radial side

170
Q

What does the radial notch do?

A

allows radius to glide along it

171
Q

What ligament of the elbow prevents adduction of forearm?

A

radial collateral ligament

172
Q

What ligament of the elbow prevents abduction of forearm?

A

ulnar collateral ligament

173
Q

What ligament of the elbow surrounds the radius head?

A

annular ligament

174
Q

What does the radial collateral ligament attach to?

A

to the annular ligament

175
Q

Where does the annular ligament attach to?

A

to the ulna anteriorly, superiorly and posteriorly

wraps around radius and goes to ulna which holds the head of the radius against the capitulum

176
Q

What is this:
force causes radial head to subluxate (slightly removed, not as severe as a dislocation which is completely removed) from anular ligament. Arm will be slightly flexed and supinated

A

nurse made elbow

caused by pulling up on the arm of a child

177
Q

What are the three joints between the radius and ulna?

A 
proximal radioulnar (anular ligament)
middle radioulnar
(interosseous membrae)
distal radioulnar (couple of ligaments)
178
Q

What are the three joints between the radius and ulna used for?

A

pronation and supinationn

179
Q

The (blank) is designed to transfer forces from the radial carpal joint to the radius, to the membrane, over to the ulna, and up to the humeroulnar joint.

A

interosseus

180
Q

The distal radio-ulnar joint has a (blank)

A

disc

181
Q

The (blank) attaches to scaphoid and trapezium laterally and pisiform and hamate medially

A

transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum)

182
Q

What does the transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum attach to)?
