| Normal carrying angles for males & females: | Male - 5-10°; female - 10-15° |
| Inhibited circulation to forearm, may be a loss of motor & sensory func (median nerve), irreversible damage occurs after 4-6 hrs, edema further impairs circulation propagating muscle necrosis | Etiology of Volkmannâs Contracture |

| What nerve innervates the wrist extensors | Radial Nerve |
| What arteries supply the forearm | Radial and Ulnar Arteries (superficial & deep palmar arches) |
| Ulnar side receives majority of blow due to arm blocks, acute or chronic, result of direct contact/blow; pain, swelling, hematoma | Contusion of the Forearm |
| Forearm strain (most from severe static contraction); dull ache b/n extensors, which cross post aspect of forearm, weakness with contraction, point tenderness in interosseous membrane | Forearm Splints |
| Occurs in lower end of rad/uln, FOOSH and rad/uln hyperextension; fwd displacement of radius causing dinner fork deformity, extensive bleeding/swelling, tendons may be torn/avulsed, may be median nerve damage (also Smith & Barton Fx) | Colleâs Fracture |
| Developmental deformity of wrist, carpals become wedged b/n rad/uln following epiphyseal plate changes, common in females; bowing rad/uln, wrist pain & loss of forearm rot, palmar subluxation | Madelung Deformity |
| Names the Carpal Joints | Hamate (hook), pisiform, triquetral, lunate, trapezoid, trapezium, capitate, scaphoid |
| Most common wrist injury, abnormal forced mvmt, hyperextended wrist, violent flex/torsion, multiple may disrupt blood supply; pain, swelling, difficulty with mvmt | Wrist Sprains |

| Synovial cyst, generally appears following wrist strain; appears on back of wrist, occasional pn w/ lump, pn increases with use, may feel soft, rubbery, or very hard | Wrist Ganglion |

| Rupture of flex digitorum profundus tendon from dist phalanx, often occurs with ring finger; DIP cannot be flexed, finger remains extended, pain/point tenderness over distal phalanx | Flexor Digitorum Profundus Rupture (Jersey Finger) |
| Nodules develop in palmar apneurosis, limiting finger ext, ultimately causes flexion deformity; often develops in 4th and 5th finger | Dupuytrenâs Contracture |
| Sprain of UCL of MCP joint of thumb, mechanism is forceful ABD of prox phalanx, occasionally combined with hyperextension; pn over UCL & weak and painful pinch | Gamekeeperâs Thumb |
