Question
Answer
Elbow ROM   Flextion 140-150, Extension 0-10, Valgus 1-15, Pronation 85-90, Supination 85-90  
🗑
Gunstock elbow   Deformity of elbow, resulting from condylar fracture at elbow (forearm deviates toward midline when extended)  
🗑
Carrying angle   aka cubitus valgus (the expected carrying angle in adults is between 0-15deg)  
🗑
Busal sac   fluid filling from trauma or secondarily from RA or gout  
🗑
Cozen's test   Resisted, seated -resist wrist extension +pain=lateral epicondylitis (attachment of ext.carpi radialis brevis, ext. digitorum, ext. digiti minimi, ext. carpi ulnaris)  
🗑
Mill's test   passive, seated -pronate and flex the wrist fully and extend the elbow +pain=lateral epicondylitis (stretches muscle attachment and stress on radial nerve)  
🗑
Golfer's elbow test (reverse Cozen's test)   resisted, seated -resist wrist flexion +pain=medial epicondylitis (attachment of flexor carpi radialis/ulnaris)  
🗑
Reverse Mill's test   passive, seated -extend the wrist +pain=medial epicondylitis (stretches muscle atttachment and stresses median nerve)  
🗑
Ligament instability (Medial collateral Ligament test aka valgus/abduction stress test)   passive, seated -abduct forearm +pain=MCL instability/injury  
🗑
Ligament instability (Lateral collateral ligament test aka varus/adduction stress test   passive, seated -adduct forearm +pain=LCL instability/injury  
🗑
Cubital tunnel syndrome   ulnar nerve compression of elbow(numbness/tingling of ring/little finger)  
🗑
Tinel's sign   passive, seated -tap ulnar nerve between olecranon process and medial epicondyle +parathesia=ulnar nerve impingement  
🗑
Elbow flexion test   active, seated -flex the elbow +parathesia=ulnar nerve impingement  
🗑
Radial head/neck fracture   fall on outstretched hand, immediate pain  
🗑
Wrist ROM   Extension=70-90, Flexion=80-90, Abduction=15, Adduction=30-45  
🗑
Radicular pain (nerve entrapment)   Cubital tunnel syndrome, Ulnar tunnel syndrome (Guyon's canal), Carpal tunnel syndrome, Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome  
🗑
Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome   -pain in proximal forearm and weakness of FPL and FDP to the index finger (entrap by the pronator teres muscle)  
🗑
Pinch grip test   active, seated -pinch tips of index and thumb +pulps of index and thumb touch=injury to anterior interosseous nerve, median nerve  
🗑
Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome   Clawing of he ring finger and hypothenar wasting.  
🗑
Carpal tunnel syndrome   median nerve compression at wrist (repetitive use) F>M  
🗑
Tinel's sign   passive, seated -tap palmar surface of wrist +tingling at 1,2,3, lateral half of 4th fingers)=CTS  
🗑
Phalen's test   active seated -flex the wrists and place them together for 60secs (median n compressed by flex. ret) +tingling in the hand (1-4 fingers =CTS, anterior dislocation of lunate,arthritic changes, inflammation of flex. retinaculum, tenosynovitis of FD tendons)  
🗑
Reverse Phalen's test   active seated -extend wrists and place palms together (inc. pressure of carpal tunnel) +tingling in the hand (1-4 fingers =CTS, anterior dislocation of lunate,arthritic changes, inflammation of flexor retinaculum, tenosynovitis of FD tendons)  
🗑
Pinch test   active seated -pinch piece of paper w/ thumb, index, and niddle fingers and try to pull it away +numbness/cramping of 1-4 fingers/palm in 1 min, +inability to pinch paper=refer for MRI elctromyography  
🗑
Electromyograpy   Diagnose dz that damage muscle tissue, nerves or nm junctions (ie. disc herniation, ALS, myasthenia gravis)  
🗑
Nerve conduction test   Detect and evaluate damage to PNS to help diagnose nerve d/o (ie CTS, Guillain Barre Syndrome)  
🗑
Finkelstein's test   active/passive, seated -bring the thumb in palm, make fist, then ulnar deviate +pain=tenosynovitis of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons (de Quervain's dz)  
🗑
Ganglion cyst   Encapsulated fluid-filled mass, (joint capsule, tendon sheath), painless  
🗑
Scaphoid fracture   fall onto outstretched hand, high rate of non-union, snuff box tenderness  
🗑
Distal radius fracture   common, osteoporotic fracture (DEXA scans esp postmenopausal women)  
🗑
Colle's fracture   complete transverse fracture w/in distal 2cm radius -distal fragment is displaced dorsally  
🗑
Scapholunate ligament injury   fall on outstretched hand “wrist sprain”, pain medial to snuffbox, diagnosed w/ supinated x-ray  
🗑
