Term
what is a major long bone that has no medullary canal
Definition
the clavicle
Term
which ribs does the scapula overlie?
Definition
2-7
Term
what is unusual about the development of the clavicle?
Definition
It is the first long bone to start ossifying (intramembranous), and the last to finish (endochondreal) - by early adulthood!
Term
what is the vertebrae and rib space that the inferior angle of the scapula overlaps?
Definition
7th rib space, 6th spinous process of thoracic vertebrae
Term
what ligament suspends the arm from the clavicle?
in which direction does the force vector point on this point of attachment?
Definition
1)the coracoclavicular ligament
2) straight down - a balancing point
Term
which ligament protects against extreme superior dislocation of the shoulder?
Definition
the coraco-acromial joint
Term
which 1) intrinsic and 2) extrinsic ligaments stabilize the sternoclavicular joint?
Definition
1) anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments, interclavicular ligaments 2) costoclavicular ligaments
Term
which 1) intrinsic and 2) extrinsic ligaments stabiliize the acromioclavicular joint?
Definition
1) a + posterior acromioclavicular joint 2) coracoclavicular joint, consisting of conoid (medial) and trapezoid (lateral) portions
Term
what is the ring of cartilage encircling the glenoid fossa?
Definition
the labrum
Term
what is adhesive capsulitis?
Definition
"frozen shoulder" - immobility of the glenohumeral joint results in calcification of the axillary recess of the glenohumeral capsule.
Term
which acromial bursa communicates with the synovial fluid of the joint capsule?
Definition
the subtendinous bursa of the subscapularis muscle (so this is on the anterior aspect of the cuff)
Term
which bursa is diagnostic for rotator cuff tears?
Definition
the subdeltoid bursa - supraspinatus tears are necessary for synovial communication with the joint
Term
to which parts of the humerus to all muscles of the rotator cuff attach?
Definition
the greater tubercle - exception is subscapularis (lesser tubercle)
Term
how many joint capsules surround the three joints of the elbow?
Definition
one!
Term
between which metacarpals is there not an intermetacarpal joint?
Definition
between 1 and 2
Term
between which metacarpals is there not an intermetacarpal joint?
Definition
between 1 and 2
Term
which nerves pass through the brachium without innervating it? Which do innervate it?
Definition
1) ulnar and medial
2) radial and musculocutaneous
Term
what nerve innervates the posterior compartment of the forearm?
Definition
the posterior interosseus branch of the radial nerve (main part of this nerve is superficial).
Term
which muscles in the extensor compartment lie anteriorly in part of their course?
Definition
ECRL and ECRB and brachioradialis
Term
which antebrachial nerves are in septum? what fascia are the others in?
Definition
the superficial branch of the radial nerve is in the lateral intermuscular septum. The anterior interosseus nerve is in close assoc. with the interosseus membrane. The median, ulnar, and posterior interosseus nerves are in the fascial sheets separating superficial and deep subcompartments
Term
In the distal antebrachium, the antebrachial sleeve becomes the ____________ and the unnamed a/p subcompartment dividing fascia in the anterior compartment becomes the __________.
Definition
1) palmar carpal ligament (over ulnar tunnel/ Guyon's canal)
2) flexor retinaculum (over carpal tunnel)
Term
Which nerves and tendons are in the carpal tunnel?
Definition
FDS's and FDP's and FPL, and the median nerve
Term
What tendons are in the 1st and 3rd extensor compartments?
Definition
1) extensor policis brevis, aductor policis longus
3) extensor policis longus
Term
what attaches the palmar aponeurosis to the overlying skin?
Definition
skin ligaments
