Where is the superficial radial nerve palpable? | where it crosses the EPL tendon |
Superficial radial nerve dives directly beneath ______ and resurfaces __________________________. | brachioradialis, wrist at dorsum of hand |
What is the power pronator mm? | pronator quadratus |
what is the primary supinator mm? | Biceps |
What is the last mm innervated by post interosseus (rad n branches)? | Extensor indicis |
What are the intrinsic mm’s located on the dorsum of the hand? | There are none. |
What is the most proximal forearm mm innervated by rad n = ? | brachioradialis |
what is the primary flexor of elbow? | Brachialis |
EPL EI are represented as good C8 mm’s, what is the most proximal mm innervated by C8? | Pec minor |
What artery is found in the snuff box, and supplies blood to the scaphoid bone? | Radial artery |
What mm runs over the dorsal tubercle of the radius? | EPL |
What is the most common site for radial nerve lesions? | Near spiral groove of humerus |
_____= continuation of radial n. distal to the supinator mm. | Posterior interosseous n. |
What are the three branches of the ulnar artery (located in and around IM)? | common interosseous artery which then splits into the anterior interosseous artery Posterior interosseous artery |
What arteries supply the posterior compartment of the forearm? | Common, anterior, and posterior interosseous arteries |
Are there any nerves or arteries that are contained within the extensor compartments? | None that are named, there is some form of blood supply and innervation |
Why do the extensor digitorum function as a unit? | Oblique intertendinous connections on dorsum of hand |
What do the ulnar and radial arteries join to form (dorsally)? What does this then branch into? | They form the dorsal carpal arterial arch which branches into the 5 dorsal metacarpal arteries. |
