Exam 5 - Upper Limb Part 2 - Slides 51 - 143 Flashcards
a disorder characterized by catching, snapping, or locking of the involved finger flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction and pain
Trigger finger, trigger thumb, trigger digit, stenosing tenosynovitis
Caused by a disparity in size between the flexor tendon and the surrounding retinacular pulley system that results in difficulty flexing or extending the finger
Trigger finger
May affect more than one finger at a time, but usually affects the index, middle, or ring fingers, or the thumb
Trigger finger
Brachioradialis Extensor carpi radialis longus Extensor carpi radialis brevis Extensor digitorum Extensor digiti minimi Extensor carpi ulnaris
Comprise?
Superficial posterior (extensor) compartment
Brachioradialis OIAI?
Origin: humerus
Insertion: radius (near styloid process)
Action: flexes forearm at elbow; supinates and pronates forearm (back to neutral). When the forearm is pronated, it tends to supinate when flexed; when the forearm is supinated it tends to pronate. For this reason, it is known as the “beer drinker muscle.”
Innervation: radial nerve
elicited during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon near its insertion at the base of the wrist near the radial styloid process directly with a reflex hammer, with the patient’s arm relaxed
Brachioradialis reflex
results in a slight wrist extension and/or radial deviation, supination, and slight elbow flexion
Brachioradialis reflex
carried by the radial nerve
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus OIAI?
Origin: distal humerus
Insertion: radial posterior hand (posterior side of base of second metacarpal)
Action: extends and abducts hand at wrist joint (radial deviation)
Innervation: radial nerve
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis OIAI?
Origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus via common extensor tendon
Insertion: radial posterior hand (posterior side of base of 3rd metacarpal)
Action: extends and abducts hand at wrist joint (radial deviation)
Innervation: deep radial nerve
Extensor Digitorum OIAI?
Origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus via common extensor tendon
Insertion: phalanges of digits 2 – 4 or 2 – 5
Action: extends digits 2 – 4 or 2 – 5
Innervation: deep radial nerve
Extensor Digiti Minimi OIAI?
Origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus via common extensor tendon
Insertion: phalanx of little finger (5th digit)
Action: extends 5th digit
Innervation: deep radial nerve
Origin: humerus
Insertion: radius (near styloid process)
Action: flexes forearm at elbow; supinates and pronates forearm (back to neutral). When the forearm is pronated, it tends to supinate when flexed; when the forearm is supinated it tends to pronate. For this reason, it is known as the “beer drinker muscle.”
Innervation: radial nerve

Origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus via common extensor tendon
Insertion: phalanx of little finger (5th digit)
Action: extends 5th digit
Innervation: deep radial nerve
Extensor Digiti Minimi
Origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus via common extensor tendon
Insertion: ulnar posterior hand (posterior side of base of 5th metacarpal)
