Cards

Term
Actions at Humero-ulnar joint:
Definition
Flexion/extension
Term
Actions at the Humero-radial joint:
Definition

-Felxion/extension

-pronation/supination

Term
Actions at radio-ulnar joint:
Definition
pronation/supination
Term
UCL anterior band restrains? interts?
Definition

-Primary restraint with extension, resists valgus force

-From medial epicondyle to coronoid process

Term
Transverse Oblique ligament restraint?
Definition
none. It doesn't cross a joint.
Term
Posterior oblique band of elbow restraint?
Definition
Primary restraint with deep elbow flexion.
Term
Radial Collateral Ligament Bundles?
Definition

-Lateral UCL

-Radial collateral ligament

-Accessory LCL

Term
Lateral UCL Interts?
Definition
From teh lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the tubercle on the ulna
Term
Radial Collateral Ligament intertion points?
Definition

Lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament.

Resists varus forces

Term
Accessory LCL interts:
Definition
Blends with the annular ligament. Holds the radius and ulna together.
Term
Interosseus Membrane is?
Definition

-Dense band of fibrous connective tissue.

-Stabilizes axial forces from the wrist.

-Site for muscle attachments

-Transmits forces from the radius to the ulna.

Term
Elbow Flexors:
Definition

-Biceps Brachi

-Brachioradialis

-Brachialis

Term
Elbow Supinators:
Definition

-Biceps Brachii

-Supinator

Term
Elbow extensors:
Definition

-Triceps Brachii

-Anconeus

Term
Elbow pronators:
Definition

-Pronator Teres

-Pronator Quadratus

Term
Median Nerve intervates:
Definition
All wrist flexors and pronator muscles except the FCU and FDP
Term
Ulnar Nerve inervates:
Definition
FCU and FDP.
Term
Radial Nerve intervates:
Definition
All others: ECRL, ECRB, supinator, brachialradialis, EPL, AbPL, EPB, ED
Term
Most common injured Bursa of elbow:
Definition
Subcutaneous bursa
Term
Carrying angle:
Definition

-Position of elbow when standing

 

Men: 5-10 degrees

Women: 10-15 degrees

Term
PROM End feels:
Definition

Flexion-soft

Extension-hard/bony

Pronation-firm/hard

Supination-firm

Term
Sings of UCL tear:
Definition
Pain at medial epicondyle, 'pop', intensifies with motion, pt at medial epicondyle
Term
Posterolateral Rotary Instability:
Definition

Combination of valgus and external rotation.

-Damage to UCL allows radius to sublux when fully supinated.

-Won't be able to push up and lock out elbow when getting out of a chair

Term
RCL Dynamic stabilization:
Definition
-Wrist extensors, Supinators, Brachioradialis
Term
Lateral Epicondylitis s/s:
Definition

Inflammatory condition of the lateral epicondyle.

-Extensor Carpi Radialis brevis is most affected

-repeated forceful eccentric contractions

-Pain with wrist extension or passive wrist flexion

Term
What is Tennis Elbow?
Definition
Lateral Epicondylitis
Term
What is Little leaguers elbow?
Definition
Medial epicondylitis
Term
Medial epicondylitis s/s?
Definition

-Cause from forceful snapping or pronation

-may cause neuropathy of ulnar nerve

Term
Osteochondritis Dissicans:
Definition

-Contact between radial head and capitellum.

-End of late cocking puts high vlagus load on elbow


-distrupts blood flow to the area causing osteochondral defect. Bone fragments in area

Term
Forearm compartment Syndrome s/s:
Definition

-pressure in forearm, sensory distruption, decreased strength, pain durring passive stretching.

-Lack of blood flow causes involuntary contraction of wrist.
