Applied Anatomy and Clinical Correlations — Flashcards

Musculocutaneous nerve injury commonly occurs in the setting of:- trauma (ex _____ dislocation)- bullet shot to the anterior biceps- strenous upper extremity exercise (ex. baseball pitching)

In the elbow there are three joints, these being:- _____ Joint- Ulnohumeral Joint- Proximal Radioulnar Joint

Injury to the _____ nerve (C8-T1 (nerve roots)) commonly occurs due to:- fracture of the medial epicondyle of humerus "funny bone" (proximal lesion) - fractured hook of hamate (distal lesion) (from fall on outstretched hand - "FOOSH")

The _____ (rotator cuff muscle) is innervated by the axillary nerve.

Before the median nerve enters the wrist / hand within the _____, it travels through the forearm between the flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus

Claw hand deficits are _____ pronounced in proximal lesions

Hint: (more/less)

Injury to the _____ nerve (C5-T1) can be caused by- midshaft fracture of the humerus- compression of the axilla- 'nursemaids elbow'- 'finger drop'

The _____ (bone) (palpable in the anatomic snuff box) is the most commonly fractured carpal bone.

_____ bursa continues proximally extending into forearm 2.5cm proximal to flexor retinaculum

A lesion to the #_____ cord would result in wrist drop, paralysis of the deltoid, and impairment of internal rotation of the humerus
