Superficial Muscles of Posterior Forearm: Brachioradialis, ECRL, ECRB, ECU, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi
Anterior forearm: Superficial compartment Originate from medial epicondyle of humerus; Cross elbow
Anterior forearm: Deep compartment Originate from shafts of ulna/ radius & inteross membrane; do not cross elbow
Superficial muscles of anterior forearm (lateral to medial) Pronator teres, FCR, palmaris longus, FCU, FDS
Posterior forearm: Superficial compartment Originate from lateral epicondyle; cross elbow
Posterior forearm: Deep compartment Originate from ulna/radius &inteross membrane; do not cross elbow
Movements of the Anterior Forearm Abduct/ adduct wrist; Flex wrist; Flex MCP/ IP joints; Pronate forearm
Movements of the Posterior Forearm Abduct/ adduct wrist; Extend wrist; Extend MCP/ IP joints; Supinate forearm
Three compartments of hand muscles Thenar (thumb); Hypothenar (little finger); Central (everything else)
Compression of median n. (as in carpal tunnel syndrome) causes: atrophy of thenar eminence
Extensors digitorum & digiti minimi form what on dorsal digit surface? Extensor hoods
Palmaris longus is absent in how many people? 15%
Flexor digitorum tendons: tendon of deeper muscle will: cross more joints
Tendons of FDP pass through: gap in FDS to reach distal phalanx
Flexor digitorum tendons: held tightly to digits with: fibrous digital sheaths
Flexor digitorum tendons: Lubrication of tendons provided by: synovial sheaths
Carpal tunnel: roof = flexor retinaculum
Carpal tunnel: Walls/ floor = carpal arch
Carpal tunnel contains 10 structures: 4 tendons FDS; 4 tendons FDP; 1 tendon FPL; Median n.
Extensor retinaculum: function Holds tendons of extensors in place
Extensor retinaculum = tendons surrounded by synovial sheaths
Common site of synovial (ganglionic) cysts Extensor retinaculum
Medial epicondylitis is due to: overpronation (golfers elbow)
Lateral epicondylitis is due to: oversupination (tennis elbow)
Borders of cubital fossa Lateral: brachioradialis mx; medial: pronator teres mx
Contents of cubital fossa brachial artery; Median n.; median cubital vein.
Flexor retinaculum: proximal skin crease = radiocarpal joint
Flexor retinaculum: distal skin crease = proximal edge of FR
Carpals that articulate with radius = Scaphoid & lunate
Most commonly injured carpals Scaphoid (fracture) & Lunate (dislocation )
Movements of the Fingers MCP joints: Flexion/ extension; Abduction/ adduction; IP joints: Flexion/ extension
Movements of the Thumb Flexion/ extension; abduction/ adduction; opposition
Hand: location of muscles All muscles on palmar (anterior) surface, none on dorsum
Condensation of deep fascia covering palm; anchored to skin = Palmar aponeurosis
Thenar muscles: form the thenar eminence (base of thumb)
Thenar muscles (3) Abductor pollicis brevis; Flexor pollicis brevis; Opponens pollicis
Hypothenar Muscles: form the: hypothenar eminence
Damage to ulnar nerve will cause: atrophy of hypothenar eminence
Anatomical Snuff Box: location Dorsolateral side of wrist/ hand
Anatomical Snuff Box: Lateral border = extensor pollicis brevis & abductor pollicis longus
Anatomical Snuff Box: Medial border = extensor pollicis longus
Anatomical Snuff Box: Floor = scaphoid
Anatomical Snuff Box: Contents = Radial artery
Avulsion injury of extensor digitorum tendon (usually extensor hood) = Mallet finger
Thickening of conn tissue; eventually leads to contracture of digits = Duputren contracture
Brachial a. branches into: Ulnar a.; Radial a.
Ulnar and radial arteries form: palmar arterial arches (Ulnar = superficial arch; Radial = deep arch)
Palmar arterial arches give off: digital arteries
Where brachial a. bifurcates just distal to cubital fossa
Position of superficial veins of forearm Superficial to deep fascia
Dorsal venous network = superficial veins of forearm (cephalic, basilic, median cubital)
Musculocutaneous n.: Motor anterior arm
Musculocutaneous n.: Sensory Lateral forearm
Median nerve: Motor most of anterior forearm, thenar muscles of hand
Median nerve: Sensory Lateral skin of hand
Ulnar nerve: Motor 1.5 muscles anterior forearm, most muscles of hand
Ulnar nerve: Sensory medial skin of hand
Radial nerve: Motor posterior arm & forearm
Radial nerve: Sensory posterior arm, forearm, and hand
All shoulder mx (except trapezius) innervated by: brachial plexus
