Question
Answer
most commonly fractured handbone   navicular aka scaphoid  
🗑
most commonly dislocated/2nd most commonly fractured   lunate  
🗑
pisiform is within what tendon   flexor carpi ulnaris  
🗑
largest carpal bone   capitate-lies proximal to 3rd metacarapal  
🗑
hamate forms lateral border of the tunnel of guyon which __-   transports the ulnar nerve and artery to the hand  
🗑
T/F: ulna articulates with wrist   False, only radius does  
🗑
two smalls seasamoid bones are located over the palmar aspect of the distal end of the 1st metacarpal. Help improve mechanical line of pull for the __   flexor pollicus brevis  
🗑
borders of anatom snuffbox   abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollice brevis (radially) and extensor pollicis longus (medially)  
🗑
Radial Collateral- Attaches radial styloid process to ___   navicular and trapezium  
🗑
Palmar (volar) radiocarpal-most important ligament for __, limits___-originates from anterior surface of the radius and splits into three individual segments each with its own name   controlling motion and wrist stability- limits hyperextension  
🗑
Dorsal radiocarpal-major dorsal ligament, limits __   wrist flexion  
🗑
Triangular fibrocartilagenous complex   disk is at the end of the ulna with attachment to the radius – major stabilizer for the radioulnar joint-injuries to this are very disabling  
🗑
-Volar plate   reinforces palmar aspect (anterior), has attachment phalanx to phalanx  
🗑
UCL of Thumb -primary stabilizer of the thumb, controls stability during all ___ activities   gripping actions and opposition  
🗑
Inhibition of the median nerve results in atrophy of the thenar eminence musclesExtensor muscles draw the thumb in the same plane as the fingers and the patient cannot flex or oppose their thumbextension of the thumb and alignment in the same plane   ape hand  
🗑
result of Ulnar nerve palsy – atrophy in the hypothenar region including the dorsal interossei, 4th and 5th lumbricalesoccurs in the Tunnel of Guyon which is where the ulnar nerve runs between the hamate and pisiform bones   Bishop’s (Benediction)  
🗑
both the median and ulnar nerves are injured and there is paralysis of all lumbricale and interossei musclescharacterized by hyperextension of the MCP joint and flexion of the PIP and DIP joints   claw hand  
🗑
a decrease in blood supply to the forearm muscle, characterized by a flexion contracture of the wirst and fingers, results from possible forearm fracture: fracture/dislocation of the elbow; forearm compartment syndrome)   Volkmann’s contracture  
🗑
injury to the UCL of the MCP joint of the thumb   gamekeeper's thumb aka skier's thumb  
🗑
s/s of gamekeepers thumb   pain, swelling, instability, positive valgus stress test- complication known as a Stener lesion in which the adductor pollicis comes between the ruptured ends of the ligament and prevent healing  
🗑
moi of gamekeepers thumb   forced abduction  
🗑
hyperextension of the PIP joint   volar plate rupture  
🗑
s/s of volar plate rupture   pain, tenderness over the palmar aspect of the joint, swelling, loss of function  
🗑
hyperflexion of the DIP joint due to tensioning of the flexor tendon   swan neck deformity  
🗑
complication (from a proximal rupture of the volar plate) is ‘____characterized by a flexion contracture   pseudoboutonniere deformity  
🗑
flexor digitorum profundus tendon rupture   jersey finger  
🗑
moi of jersey finger   distal phalanx is forcefully extended while the finger is flexing  
🗑
rupture of the distal extensor tendon (associated bony avulsion possible)   Mallet finger (or baseball finger)  
🗑
moi of mallet finger   the extended distal phalanx is suddenly and forcefully flexed  
🗑
- involves the base of the first metacarpal bone resulting in displacement of the metacarpal due to the pull of the abductor pollicis longus muscle   Bennett’s fracture  
🗑
- fracture of the distal radius and ulna - MOI: fall on an outstretched hand- characterized by a ‘silver fork deformity’ or dorsal displacement of the distal fragments of the radius and ulna in relation to their proximal shaft   Colle’s fracture  
🗑
fracture with displacement of the fracture being volar to the proximal fragment   smith's fracture  
🗑
herniation of synovial fluid through the joint capsule of synovial sheath of a tendon- may occur acutely or can be chronic- observable and palpable mass over the wrist, may or may not be painful and restrict ROM   ganglion cyst  
🗑
a flexor contracture seen more commonly in older adults- etiology in unknown and is characterized by a flexion contracture of the MCP and PIP joints usually of the 4th and 5th digits as a result of thickness and contracture of the palmar fascia   Dupuytren’s contracture  
🗑
tenosynovitis of the of the flexor tendons resulting from repetitive trauma- most commonly seen in the third and fourth digits   trigger finger  
🗑
tynosynovitis of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons; - S&S: tenderness and crepitus at the base of the thumb, weakness of involved muscle; positive Finkelstein test   DeQuervain’s disease  
🗑
forced flexion of the PIP joint resulting in a tear of the central slip of the extensor digitorum tendon at its insertion in the base of the middle phalanx and volar displacement the lateral bands   Boutonniere deformity  
🗑
