bones of skeleton Flashcards
greater trochanter


intercondylar fossa

medial epicondyle (on same side as the greater trochanter)
neck of humerus

mneumonic for carpal bones
lateral to medial (BOTH ROWS)
some lovers try positions
that they can’t handle

scaphoid
fall on the palm when the hand is abducted, the fracture occurring across the narrow
part of the scaphoid. Owing to the poor blood supply to the proximal part of the
scaphoid, union of the fractured parts may take at least 3 months. Avascular necrosis of
the proximal fragment of the scaphoid

lunate

trapezoid

trapezium

triquetrum

capitate

pisiform

hamate

linea aspera

lesser trochanter
I

adductor tubercle
same side as lesser trochanter

lateral epicondyel

medial condyle

lateral condyle

intercondylar fossa
neck of femur significance
“Broken Hip”. The disruption of the blood supply
to the head and neck of the femur (the medial and lateral arteries)
that occurs with a femoral neck fracture may result in avascular necrosis of
the femoral head.
The affected limb is LATERALLY rotated due to the pull of
the muscles attached to the dissociated pieces of bone
