hand Flashcards
(47 cards)
Double Oberlin transfer
ulnar nerve fascicles from FCU and median nerve fascicles from FDS/FCR to motor branch of biceps and brachial to allow for elbow flexion
ulnar nerve lesion transfer
ain to motor branch of ulnar nerve due to poor prognosis of proximal ulnar nerve lesion for intrinsic hand
EMG for compressive neuropathy
positive sharp waves
Fibrillations
Fasciculations
abductor pollicis brevis
only muscle that is only median in the thenar group - test by palmar abduction away from index finger
Carpal tunnel provocative sensitivity
Durkan>Phalen>Tinel
SW >2 point disc
pronator syndrome vs CTS
palmar cutaneous branch involved pronator syndrome, , also has forearm pain and decreased palmar cutaneous distribution.
AIN syndrome
weakness preceded by intense shoulder pain is parsonage tturner
Radial tunnel syndrome
a pain syndrome, no motor or sensory deficit. Arcade of Frohse most common. wait 12 months to do surgery.
brachial plexus roots
C5, 6, 7, 8, T1
3 trunks brachial plexus
upper, middle, lower
horners syndrome
preganglionic
C8-T1 avulsion
ptosis, mitosis, anhidrosis
obstetric brachial plexus, if biceps and deltoid function return by when then expect full recovery
2 months
wrist extension for radial nerve palsy tendon transfer
PT to ECRB
radial nerve palsy, tendon transfer for finger extensor
FDS/FCR/FCU to EDC
thumb extension tendon transfer for radial nerve palsy
FDS/FCR/orPL to EPL
Usually PL to EPL
Brand tendon transfer for radial nerve palsy
PT to ECRB, PL to EPL, FCR to EDC
carpal tunnel thenar atrophy
palmaris longus transfer to APB or into proximal phalanx(Camitz)
huber transfer
congenital thenar ascent, abductor digiti minimi to APB or bone
to restore pinch - tendon transfer for ulnar nerve palsy
ECRB to adductor policis
or FDS to adductor policis
claw deformity transfer
FDS to provide flexion fo MCF , keep tendon volar to intermetacarpal ligament
fingertip/nailbed injury % that have cold intolerance/hypersensitivity
50%
secondary intention can heal what size for tip loss
1 cm squared
fingertip injury - exposed bone with volar oblique
cross finger,
Moberg for thumb
thenar flap for child IF or LF
digital island flap
can maintain sensory innervation for index or thumb
