Q

Radial Head

A
  • Doesn’t contact humerus in full extension
  • Spins on capitulum and radial notch of ulna
  • Radial nerve runs right here
  • Vulnerable to fx with direct impact or by compression with FOOSH
  • Supported by extensor wad and annular ligament

Q

Ulnar Collateral Ligament

A

Three parts:

  1. Anterior Oblique (primary stabilizer, taut in all ranges)
  2. Posterior Oblique (Taut in flexion)
  3. Transverse (stabilizes ulnar n.)

Resists valgus force
Vascular/ innervated –> Painful

20
Q

Radial nerve pathway

A

Anterior to lateral epicondyle
Between brachialis and brachioradialis (“radial tunnel”)
Branches into superficial and deep: Posterior interosseous
Through heads of supinator (“arcade of frohse”)

21
Q

Ulnar nerve pathway

A

From anterior to posterior thorough arcade of struthers
Behind medial epicondyle in ulnar notch
