Q

What does the teres minor do?

A

A rotator cuff muscle, the teres minor stabilizes the ball-and-socket glenohumeral joint.

Laterally rotates the arm.

Q

Where are the two landmarks where compression and lesion to the ulnar nerve can occur?

A

Posterior groove of the medial epicondyle

Cubital tunnel - can lead to cubital tunner syndrome - leads to the pain when you hit your elbow.

Q

18
Q

Where is Erb’s point?

A

In the upper trunk by C5 and C6

19
Q

Erb’s palsy:

A
  • Damage at Erb’s point affecting C5 and C6.
  • Presents with loss of shoulder movement and elbow function. (Finger movement is intact at T1 is preserved.)
  • Injured due to a sudden increase of the angle between shoulder and neck.
20
Q

Klumpke’s paralysis affects which roots of the brachial plexus?

A

C8 and T1

21
Q

Klumpke’s paralysis

A
  • Lower trunk injury due to damage at C8 and T1.
  • Loss of intrinsic hand muscle and long finger flexor movements.
  • Hand paralysis and loss of forearm and hand sensation medially
  • Abduction injuries:
    • Falling from height and grabbing on causing upwards pull on the lower trunk.
    • Obstetric complications
22
Q

What is the most common brachial plexus injury?

A

Flail limb

23
Q

Flail limb affects which roots of the BP?

A

C5 through to T1.

24
Q

Flail limb

A
  • Significant trauma is main cause
  • Linked to MND and ALS when non-traumatic
  • Complete loss of upper limb mobility and sensation • Severe muscular atrophy
  • Surgical repair difficult
25
Q

A surgical neck of humerus fracture is likely to damage which nerve?

  • how does this present?
A

Axillary nerve

Results in loss of deltoid and teres minor function.

26
Q

Humeral shaft fracutre is most likely to affect which nerve?

  • How does this present?
A

Humeral shaft fracture = Radial nerve.

Loss of extension at elbow, wrist, hand and fingers.

27
Q

Define dislocation:

A

No contact between the articular surfaces of the joint.

32
Q

A median nerve lesion presents with muscle wasting where?

A
